A PPM-specific development class has been imported into the SAP system using a transport request (included in the PPM installation medium).
An R/3 user with system access via Remote Function Call (RFC) and execution privilege for the PPM function modules exists.
The PPM-specific number range is initialized for the SAP client to be extracted.
In some cases, additional indices need to be created in the SAP database to improve performance during data extraction or to prevent data extraction being canceled by a timeout in the SAP system.
