Other Integration Scenarios

Search, Document Management,



NetWeaver Portal off ers a WSRP Producer

SharePoint Server 2007can consume WSRP

compliant Portlets

WSRP (still 1.0) has lots of limitations

WSRP implementations vary from vendor to

vendor



iViews are SAP Enterprise Portal·s equivalent of Web Parts

Lightweight integration of portlets

MOSS SSO is a prerequisite to iView Web Parts

No ´Drag & Relateµ or other inter-portletcommunication available

Users must be mapped

UI/ stylesheets apply partly only (hard to apply themes)



Re-use of existing Business Packages from SAP

Web Dynpro Applications run on top of the ABAP stack or the JAVA stack

No NetWeaver Portal required if Web Dynpro f or ABAP is used

Single Sign-On requires SAP NetWeaver JAVA stack

Desired look and f eel by CSS



For SAP we choose Web Services connectivity

BDC Def inition Editor (part of MOSS SDK download) creates

service description

Import XML description f ile to BDCas Shared Application

Create Actions if needed



BDC limitations

Only SOAP or ADO.NET

Must have Web Service layer between BDC and BAPIs / RFCs

Can call only one SOAP method at a time

Aggregating output from a set of method calls is NOT possible in this release

As SAP BAPIs / RFCs are extremely granular, this presents a problem

You·ll need a Web Service layer

You·ll need a composition technique

Option 1: have MOSS index SAP content BDC

TREX has Web service API (Must be adapted to present OpenSearch interf ace)

A standard for sharing information stored in disparate

repositories that is designed to:

Ensure interoperability for people and for applications among multiple

content repositories across all platforms

o Enable applications to target one or more ECM repositories uniformly for core

content services

Easy mapping to existing ECM systems

o Expose standard set of APIs for existing capabilities of CM repositories

o Leverage existing content

Provide several protocol bindings using the common domain model:

o Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP)

o Representational State Transfer (REST) / ATOM

Exploit web technologies

o Web 2.0

o Internet Scale

o Service-orientation

o Resource-orientation

SAP is decoupling the

ECM infrastructurelayer from the

application /

consumption layer

SAP will provide and

maintain core / basic

services, in ABAP andJava.

SAP will closely work

with partners to

provision extended

ECM services.

SAP will keep the current scope of KM as a basic content service, in addition SAP will provide core missing f eatures (e.g. archiving) and f ix gaps. The KM architecture will remain unchanged and there will be no signif icant re-design

SAP will introduce an open ECM interf ace layer and partner f or f ull-f ledged ECM scenarios. SAP will f ocus on integrating and enriching SAP applications with ECM capabilities
