WebDynpro Java no more the strategic UI of SAP

It’s discussed so many number of times. It’s been ruminated and dissected as well It’s almost the time when SAP will call it a day for Web Dynpro for Java. Though it’s not said clearly but it’s better to read between the lines. Recent TechEd @ Las Vegas clearly gave way signals that [...]

SAP Netweaver Portal tip of the day: System messages in NWDS

We have seen threads, posts and a lot of discussion about displaying a system message or an administrative message in portal when user logs in. However, this time it is not for the end users neither for administrators. It is for developers who spend most of their time coding in NWDS. It is quiet obvious [...]

Comparison between SAP Netweaver portal 7.0 EhP 2 & 7.3

What’s new in 7.3? What’s new in CE 7.1 or CE 7.2? What is the difference between CE 7.1 & CE 7.2? Should I go with EhP1 for 7.0 or EhP2.0 or directly upgrade to Netweaver Portal 7.3? These are the frequently asked questions whenever a newer version of SAP Portal is released. SAP released [...]

7 habits of successful SAP consultants

I was once interviewed for a SAP Portal Lead Consulting position at one of the Fortune 500 companies. The manager asked me “if I give you 15 days of work and ask you to complete it in 5 days would you do it.” Wow!! Tough question -  considering that the position was very important to [...]

Lost!!!

If you have watched the Emmy award winning series, you could empathize with the plight of the people lost on the mysterious island. Confused and no clue where to go next. Sometimes, I feel SAP consultants experience the same feeling when they are asked to look for something on Service Marketplace. LOST!!!

SAP Portal tip of the day: JCO Connections

Connecting to SAP back-end is one of the most cliched operations when you’re working with SAP Portals. Be it a transaction iView, fetching data from some BAPI/RFC in WebDynpro Java application or even in Portal components. In each case we connect to SAP back-end.
Depending on the type of the data you wish to fetch, connection type changes [...]

Don’t misuse Portal nomenclature terms; Connecting is no Integration

What really annoys me is people do not give attention to nomenclature of the products or technology that they work with. People still refer Portal 7.0 as EP 7.0 instead of Netweaver Portal 7.0. Words like integration and connection are used interchangeably. Which is incorrect!!
Before I proceed, I’d like to mention that these are my personal views and if [...]

When will SAP work on browser compatibility? No Mozilla 4.0 support in 7.3

Let me put it straight. SAP is too lazy to release products that can run seamlessly in all browsers.You can go through this post (SAP Portal, browser compatibility & HTML 5.0) for existing SPS levels and corresponding browser compatibility available so far. However, there was a hope that EhP1 SPS8 would have Mozilla 3.6 support. [...]
