When dealing with a complex process such as an SAP upgrade — especially when things go awry — knowledge is power. Being comfortable with the available upgrade programs and user interfaces will greatly improve your effectiveness; you will do the right thing at the right moment, and you will be able to correctly identify and solve problems if and when they arise. This article introduces you to the current generation of SAP upgrade tools. You will learn how they work, where to find them, how to install them and get them going, and how to use their management and monitoring features in any upgrade scenario.
Enable remote database access and parallel transaction processing using secondary database connections in your ABAP
programs
SAP NetWeaver Application Server 2004 and higher provides a default connection between your applications and your SAP system database. What you may not know is that you can supplement these default connections in certain scenarios — if you want to access a remote database or trigger a separate, parallel database transaction — by creating secondary connections in your ABAP programs. This article shows you how to use secondary connections, which are an extension of Open SQL, ADBC, and EXEC SQL, and provides some tips and tricks for working with them and monitoring them.
Minimize data warehouse disruption post mergers and acquisitions with SAP NetWeaver 7.0’s Universal Data Connect and
Master Data Management
Once a merger or acquisition takes place, there are two disparate data warehouses to deal with — each with its own data and model, and potentially based on entirely different solutions. This article shows you how to use the Universal Data (UD) Connect interface provided with SAP NetWeaver 7.0 along with Master Data Management (MDM) to consolidate heterogeneous data. It shows you how to configure UD Connect, walks you through a four-phase process for implementing it and using MDM to integrate the data with minimal disruption, and lastly explains what you need to do to monitor the unified data.
Designing and developing mobile applications for SAPConsole using ABAP: Best practices and lessons learned
As companies incorporate wireless barcode scanning equipment into their warehouses, they must find a way to adapt their warehouse management software for these handheld devices. SAP offers SAPConsole for this purpose, which renders SAPGUI on smaller screens and input mechanisms. However, the standard SAPConsole transactions are often not enough to meet typical business needs. This article presents best practices and tips for designing your own SAPConsole applications, including how to create mobile applications that even non-technical shop-floor users will embrace.
Improve communication between your C/C++ applications and SAP systems with SAP NetWeaver RFC
SDK: Part 1 — RFC client programs
SAP NetWeaver 7.1 introduces a new software development kit (SDK) for remote function call (RFC) communications: SAP NetWeaver RFC SDK. It is the successor to the well-known “classic” RFC SDK for SAP R/3, and you can use it in C/C++-based applications to enable communication with SAP back-end systems ranging from SAP R/3 4.0B to the latest SAP NetWeaver systems. This article is the first in a three-part series that examines the advanced features of SAP NetWeaver SDK and the communication between SAP systems and external C programs. This first installment looks at the design of SAP NetWeaver RFC SDK and explains the ideas behind it.
