Overview
There are two ways for users to access the SAP Production system, via the Production 1 server or the Production 2 server. Do not worry about logging onto the "wrong" Production system. Users are asked to log on via a specific server to help balance the load of users accessing SAP.

Your server is determined alphabetically by the first letter of your school or department.
