SAP Netweaver - Netweaver Interoperability
Interoperability of SAP NetWeaver with Microsoft .NET
A D V E R T I S E M E N T
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.
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.
