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.
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.
