3.0 Interoperability of SAP NetWeaver with
Microsoft .NET
SAP along with Microsoft is creating a
development kit, which enables to create Iviews inside Microsoft
Visual Studio.
The Iviews help in integrating information and
functions from a wide range of sources in an enterprise portal. It
helps in developing portal content on your preferred platform. It
also helps in accessing and gathering Information consistently. This
is achieved by integration of SAP Knowledge Management and data
management tools such as Microsoft Content Management Server. This
integration centralizes the Knowledge base and helps in coordination
of processes, which cover various Technologies e.g., SAP NetWeaver
supports an environment in which SAP Exchange Infrastructure and
Microsoft BizTalk Server can exchange information.
Additionally, SAP Web Application Server, which is a component of
SAP NetWeaver, supports platform independent Web services and the
same Web services as standards as Microsoft, including Extensible
Markup Language (XML), Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP), Web
Services Description Language (WSDL), and Universal Description,
Discovery, and Integration (UDDI). For Microsoft .NET, SAP’s .NET
connector provides a highly scalable and reliable communication
infrastructure, as well as a Microsoft Visual Studio .NET Add-In to
simplify development.
4.0 Interoperability of SAP NetWeaver with
IBM WebSphere
Interoperability of SAP NetWeaver with IBM
WebSphere takes at People, Information and process level. This
interoperability helps in developing portal content on your
preferred platform thus saving investments. SAP NetWeaver supports
groupware and collaboration products such as Lotus. It helps in
accessing and gathering Information consistently. This is done by
integration of SAP Knowledge Management and data management tools
such as IBM Content Manager. It also centralizes the Knowledge base
and helps in coordination of processes, which cover various
Technologies e.g., SAP NetWeaver supports an environment in which
SAP Exchange Infrastructure and IBM WebSphere Business Integration
can exchange information. As mentioned earlier, SAP Web Application
Server, a component of SAP NetWeaver, supports platform-independent
Web services and other primary technology standards including J2EE
Connector Architecture (JCA) and Java Message Service (JMS). SAP
Java Connector is a toolkit that allows a Java application to
communicate with any SAP system. It combines an easy-to-use API with
extraordinary flexibility and performance. The package supports
both, Java-to-SAP, as well as SAP-to-Java calls. Customers using IBM
WebSphere can easily access existing business objects and integrate
their applications with any SAP application.
