that address a wide range
of print needs
Recognizing that PDF has become the de facto tool
for creating and exchanging electronic documents,
SAP initiated a strategic development partnership
with Adobe Systems — the result of which was
SAP Interactive Forms by Adobe. This article explains
what you need to know to get started with SAP Interactive
Forms for back-end printing purposes; its underlying
architecture, which incorporates many of the known
principles of Smart Forms technology; and the steps
needed to create a simple form using the new Form
Builder (transaction SFP). This article also explains
data binding and how to create tables in a form,
and concludes with some tips and tricks to help make
your SAP Interactive Forms experience easier and
more productive.
Architecting a high availability SAP NetWeaver infrastructure: Strategies for ensuring a
successful, cost-effective
implementation
Providing high availability (HA) for an enterprise
service-oriented architecture like SAP NetWeaver
is a challenge — typical setups include multiple
integrated SAP systems that are required around the
clock for continuous, one-step business scenarios.
This article helps you meet this challenge in your
own systems by explaining the SAP NetWeaver architecture,
its configuration, the procedures involved, and the
implications of these elements on systems availability.
It starts with an overview of HA basics, and then
discusses the technical details of an HA setup with
SAP NetWeaver, including topics such as architectural
single points of failure (SPOFs) and ways to isolate
and protect such failure points.
Use SAP Solution Manager’s extensive reporting capabilities to ensure consistent performance
across your system
landscape through proactive monitoring
The growth of SAP Solution Manager as a tool to
maintain, support, configure, and upgrade SAP landscapes
brings with it the need for increased reporting capabilities,
so you can be proactive in addressing issues before
they become critical. SAP Solution Manager 4.0 includes
a wide range of reporting options for generating
technical and administrative information about your
system landscape, including SAP EarlyWatch Alert
Reporting, Service Reporting, EarlyWatch Alert Reporting
in SAP NetWeaver Business Intelligence, Service Level
Reporting, and System Availability Reporting. This
article provides an overview of these new options
and explains how you can use them to ensure consistent
performance across your system landscape.
Improve your software quality by using ABAP checkpoint statements
The correctness of a program is based on certain
assumptions about its state at various points during
execution (e.g., that the values of certain variables
stay within specific ranges). How can you ensure
that these conditions hold true, even after the program
has been changed? And is there a way to identify
problems before they reach the production system?
The answer is ABAP “checkpoint” statements,
introduced with SAP Web Application Server 6.20,
which are solely dedicated to ensuring program correctness
and maintainability. Through step-by-step examples,
this article explains the ABAP checkpoints concept
and shows you how to use these statements efficiently
to improve the quality and maintainability of your
code.
Mastering SAP NetWeaver Exchange Infrastructure 7.0: Successfully integrate SAP applications
into a non-SAP, non-XML
world
A central hub for all system-to-system communications
a company might face — between non-SAP systems,
SAP systems, and even external business partners
over the Internet — can have a big bottom-line
impact for almost every organization. SAP Exchange
Infrastructure (SAP XI) was designed to accommodate
these scenarios. Using a recent integration project
as a case study, this article aims to demonstrate
that integrating SAP and non-SAP systems is relatively
easy, and that SAP XI is ready for productive use
today as a central messaging hub. It also provides
a cookbook of ready-made solutions to common scenarios,
including lessons learned and potential pitfalls,
that you can refer back to in your daily work.
