SCN Topic Space Consultation Paper: NetWeaver Basis Architecture Space

_____________________________________________________________________________

Update 27th September 2013

Update 1)

. Tagging Architecture content with the tag architecture & <SAP_AREA>_architecture

One of the outcomes of this consultation process is that from today onwards, all new

and old content

     blogs

     documents etc

     discussions

which are related to architecture need to be tagged with the tags

     architecture

     <SAP_AREA>_architecture

     (where <SAP-AREA> is the area of SAP this content is reflecting, eg, crm_architecture

     bpm_architecture netweaver_architecture hana_architecture fico_architecture

     pi_architecture etc, you get the picture)

This way, we are preparing all SCN architecture related content, old and new, we are preparing the

ground for the content to be searchable for architects and to be visible in a future Architecture

(Sub) Space

Update 2)

As part of this consultation process we need to define what is NetWeaver Architecture and what

would a NetWeaver Architecture (Sub) Space if it were to happen contain ?

To this end, there is a new document here, specifically for containing this subject, so please, if you

want to influence and give input to this subject come over there and join the discussion

Update 3)

We now have a Category NetWeaver_Architecture under the NetWeaver-Technology-Platform Space.

We need to use it or lose it.

If we use it, we have the chance to get a (Sub) Space.

From now on, all NetWeaver_Architecture related content, blogs, discussions, documents _must_

be tagged with NetWeaver_Architecture.

for discussions make sure to put NetWeaver_Architecture: as part of the subject and use the tagging

More info here.

Enjoy

Thanks to benny.schaich-lebek and mariana.mihaylova for their support and patience in

this process.

Introduction

SCN acts as a container for Topic Spaces across a wide range of SAP universe related

topics.

A Topic Space in essence is a home for everything to do with that topic within the community,

including essentially:

     . Discussions

     . Documents

     . Blog Posts

     . Related Resources

There is one collective within the SCN Community, one group, who are not currently represented

by an SCN Topic Space, and that collective, that group is,

    

          NetWeaver Basis Architects

This blog will lay out in the open the proposal and request for a new SCN Topic Space for

NetWeaver Basis Architects within the SCN Community

What Is NetWeaver Basis Architecture ?

NetWeaver Basis Architecture is a huge and complex subject spanning:

     . vertically the depths from blue print to realisation and operational support of a SAP system

and spanning

     . horizontally across all SAP components

Basis Architecture is from the two sheets of A4 describing the initial requirements of a greenfield

implementation to operationally supporting existing installations and everything in between and

around it.

This means from planning SAP installations through to keeping SAP running, and across all

SAP components and their integrations and non-SAP components and their integrations down

to the database and the operating system, and upto disaster planning and recovery.

There is currently no home, no Topic Space, where like minded Basis Architects (and others) can

discuss and blog and document and share knowledge and collective experience on the NetWeaver

Basis Architecture subject

Today there is nowhere for like minded Basis Architects to call home, to chew the cud and share

experiences and challenges.

What Do We Need ?

Within the grounds of the SCN Community we need a new Topic Space to planned,prepared and delivered

for NetWeaver Basis Architects.

It won't be an overnight exercise, as with any such task there needs to be proper planning and preparation

to prevent poor performance.

As part of the preparation, for example, Moderators will need to be selected for the Discussion Forums, tags

will need to be prepared for indexing and cataloguing NetWeaver Basis Architecture Content.

Ultimately the deliverable should be a Topic Space for NetWeaver Basis Architects following the same

template as other Topic Spaces in SCN including:

     . Discussions in NetWeaver Basis Architecture

     . Documents in NetWeaver Basis Architecture

     . Blog Posts in NetWeaver Basis Architecture

     Obviously as content in NetWeaver Basis Architecture grows so the Topic Space will have rippling

     stacks of:

               . Related Content

         

               . Recent Activity

               . Popular Content

               . Key Topics

               . Related Resources

     and as already mentioned:

          . Moderators

     and naturally eventually:

         

          . Top Contributors

Next Steps:

NetWeaver Basis Architects:

     . If you like this proposal, please give contructive feedback in the comments, this will be your

     chance, to have a home, where everything NetWeaver Basis Architecture will be under one roof

Aspiring NetWeaver Basis Architects/ Basis Administrators and Everybody Interested In NetWeaver

Basis  Architecture Subjects

     . If you would benefit from having one Topic Space on the SCN related to Architecture feel

     welcome to give your constructive feedback in the comments section below

SCN Community Leaders

     . If you agree with this proposal, let's all work together to deliver it to the benefit of all

Looking forward to feedback,

Andy.
