SCN NetWeaver Architecture Space Consultation Paper: What is NetWeaver Architecture

[petr_solberg]

As part of the consultation process of moving towards SNC providing a

     . NetWeaver Architecture (Sub) Space

we need to define what is NetWeaver Architecture.

This document serves as the placeholder and container for that discussion.

This might sound funny, but we need to start from somewhere, so I will begin with

a description of NetWeaver Architect which I received in a job description.

We can then, fine tune this list, we can remove items, more narrowly specify certain

items and add items, all where necessary.

So here goes:

     Design and Architecture of complex SAP solutions

     SAP Technical Design issues

     SAP to SAP and SAP to Non-SAP

     SAP Architecture design across all SAP Components - any architecture question for any component

     SAP System Landscape, Platform, Technology design and strategy

     Future proofing SAP strategies

     Continuous Improvement Strategies

     Upgrade and Migration Strategy and Implementation and Design

     Across all integrations of SAP with other products

     Across operating system and through databases

     Across network and server architecture and topology

     Disaster Planning and Contingency

     High Availability and DR design

     Value and return on investment

     Data Center from the SAP perspective

As part of this process let's now discuss in the comments to this document what

exactly the SAP Architecture Space should contain.

Everybody is welcome, this is a safe place so don't be shy.

My personal goal in this discussion is for me to be less vocal and let everybody else

have a good debate.
