SAP solutions are mainly available in 2 stacks.

1. ABAP Stack

2. JAVA stack

However few solutions are ABAP+JAVA (like PI & SolMan)

It depends on which SAP solution you are planning to implement. Its not like that you have option for going to ABAP or JAVA for 1 particular solution. There are few solutions which are on ABAP stack like ECC, BI etc & few on JAVA like EP (portal). Few needs both.

Hi,

In SAP you have two different stack one is based on ABAP and another one is JAVA ( developed using java prog lang )

ABAP is programming launguage and SAP properitary, SAP people are working on ABAP so that they will remove java

slowly from sap.

BEST IS ABAP STACK

Hello

One cannot be said to be more advantageous than the other, it's a matter of specific requirements where a dual stack (ABAP & JAVA) is perhaps necessary.

ABAP (Advanced Business Application Programming, originally Allgemeiner Berichts-Aufbereitungs-Prozessor, German for "general report creation processor" [1]), pronounced as 'ah-bop', is a high-level programming language created by SAP. It is currently positioned, alongside the more recently introduced Java, as the language for programming the SAP Application Server, part of its NetWeaver platform for building business applications. The syntax of ABAP is somewhat similar to COBOL.
