SAP NetWeaverOverview


2/20

What is NetWeaver? SAP NetWeaver is the next-generation services-based platform that will

serve as the foundation for all future SAP applications.

NetWeaver comprises several technologies and components: a portalframework, business intelligence and reporting, Business ProcessManagement (BPM), integration, Master Data Management (MDM), a

common run-time application server, and the SAP applicationdevelopment and management platform.

SAP promotes NetWeaver as offering people, process, and dataintegration with SAP applications and information.

SAP NetWeaver is the basis for SAP to offer composite applications toits customers. Commonly referred to as xApps, these composite

applications will be built and managed with SAP NetWeaver tools. SAP AG will use existing functionality prevalent in the SAP applications

to build out new functionality, or extensions, to the SAP family ofproducts.

What NetWeaver Isnt First of all, NetWeaver is not a product that companies can buy or even

upgrade to on its own. Also, its not an option.

NetWeaver is not a general-purpose infrastructure replacement for IBM,Microsoft, or BEA.

It is not a general development platform. It will not displace technology that companies already use to develop

custom applications unrelated to SAP or to perform integration betweennon-SAP applications although SAP XI can be used to integratevirtually any enterprise application.

SAP will not rewrite its proprietary development language, ABAP, in

J2EE. While developers will still have to know ABAP, NetWeaver will actto wrap the code to interoperate with J2EE and .NET environments.
