SAP NetWeaver

SAP NetWeaver is a web-based, open integration and application platform that serves as the foundation for enterprise service-oriented architecture (enterprise SOA) and allows the integration and alignment of people, information, and business processes across business and technology boundaries.

It utilizes open standards to enable integration with information and applications from almost any source or technology.

SAP NetWeaver is the foundation of SAP xApps and SAP Business Suite solutions, and also powers partner solutions and customer custom-built applications.

SAP NetWeaver Developer Studio

The SAP NetWeaver Developer Studio introduces SAP’s own environment for developing Java-based, multiple-layered business applications. The new development environment is based on Eclipse, an open source product, whose open Plug-In Architecture provides a suitable platform for incorporating specific functions.

By offering a single point of entry for all Java development tools, the SAP NetWeaver Developer Studio (subsequently abbreviated to the Developer Studio) supports you in developing Web Dynpro and J2EE applications. Application developers do not need to switch between different development environments for the presentation and business logic. Instead, they can develop, build, deploy, and execute applications centrally from the Developer Studio.

Thus, the SAP NetWeaver Developer Studio offers complete support when you develop large-scale Java projects, whether you use SAP technologies (such as Web Dynpro Java Dictionary) or standard technologies (J2SE, J2EE, XML, and so on).

Features

The SAP NetWeaver Developer Studio:

· Provides a highly productive development environment, which covers the whole life cycle for Java projects.

· Offers a highly flexible development process, since the Developer Studio can also be used as a local development environment. Thus enables you to edit and structure source files locally, and then deploy and test them on a locally installed server.

· Provides a complete set of development tools for all aspects of Java business development (such as user interfaces, e-business logic, and Java persistence), and also supports standard technologies as well as SAP technologies.

· Increases productivity by providing wizards and a variety of graphical editing tools. In particular, developers can count on significantly reducing development costs when creating user interfaces with the Web Dynpro technology.

hi lalith,

i am giving solutions to ur questions very keenly .please check it out and reward me points if u feel it as good.ok

1.What is sap netweaver?

SAP NetWeaver is SAP's integrated technology platform and is the technical foundation for all SAP applications since the SAP Business Suite. SAP NetWeaver is marketed as a service-oriented application and integration platform. SAP NetWeaver provides the development and runtime environment for SAP applications and can be used for custom development and integration with other applications and systems. SAP NetWeaver is built using open standards and industry de facto standards and can be extended with, and interoperate with, technologies such as Microsoft .NET, Sun Java EE, and IBM WebSphere.

SAP NetWeaver's release is considered as a strategic move by SAP for driving enterprises to run their business on a single, integrated platform that includes both applications and technology. Industry analysts refer to this type of integrated platform offering as an "applistructure" (applications + infrastructure). It is widely held that this approach is driven by industry's need to lower IT costs through an enterprise architecture that is at once (1) more flexible; (2) better integrated with applications; (3) built on open standards to ensure future interoperability and broad integration; and, (4) provided by a vendor that is financially viable for the long term.[citation needed].

SAP is fostering relationships with system integrators and independent software vendors, many of the latter becoming "Powered by SAP Netweaver".

SAP Netweaver is part of SAP's plan to transition to a more open, service-oriented architecture and to deliver the technical foundation of its applications on a single, integrated platform and common release cycle.

NetWeaver is essentially the integrated stack of SAP technology products. The SAP Web Application Server (sometimes referred to as WebAS) is the runtime environment for the SAP applications -- all of the mySAP Business Suite solutions (SRM, CRM, SCM, PLM, ERP) run on SAP WebAS.

Products

The core products that make up SAP NetWeaver include:

SAP NetWeaver Application Server

SAP Exchange Infrastructure (XI)

SAP Enterprise Portal

SAP Master Data Management (MDM)

SAP NetWeaver Mobile

SAP Business Information Warehouse

SAP has also teamed with hardware vendors like HP and IBM to deliver appliances (i.e., hardware + software) to simplify and enhance the deployment of NetWeaver components. Examples of these appliances include:

SAP BI Accelerator

Development Tools

ABAP Workbench (SE80)

SAP NetWeaver Developer Studio (NWDS) based on Eclipse

SAP Netweaver Development Infrastructure (NWDI)

Visual Composer

see also:

Web Dynpro

SAP Enterprise Portal Content Studio

SAP Composite Application Framework - an environment for designing and using composite applications

Features

SOAP and Web Services

Interoperability with Java EE (WebSphere)

Interoperability with .NET (Microsoft)

Integration of Business Intelligence

xApps

Duet

Specifically, ERP is being extended by Business Process Management Systems (BPMs) and, as BPMs takes hold as the pre-dominant technical platform for new applications, expect to see radical changes to ERP architecture in the years ahead. Allen Davis, a NetWeaver xMII expert, has successfully used Six Sigma scenarios as information in real time from shop floor control systems and used in plant quality control lab experimental tests. The technology has been applied to a wide range of industries and applications.

SAP's Netweaver platform is still backwards-compatible with ABAP, SAP's custom development language
