flexible application development
Model-driven software techniques make it easier and faster to develop business process-oriented applications. Business object modeling, business process component modeling, and business process modeling represent real, process-relevant entities in an implementation, make the entities more transparent, and allow you to close the gap between documentation and development. Enterprise service-oriented architecture (enterprise SOA) uses SAP’s modeling approach to process and application design. This article provides an overview of how to
develop process-oriented applications using modeling.
Develop composite applications with SAP NetWeaver Composition Environment 7.1:
Part 2 — User interfaces and the tools
that help you create them
Composite applications from SAP are packaged applications that sit on existing enterprise solutions and reuse their functionality to form new collaborative business processes. As Web and enterprise services grow, reusable, collaborative composite applications enable you to use many available functions with less software effort. This second installment of
a three-article series shows you how to create user interfaces using SAP NetWeaver Composition Environment, the design and runtime environment for composite applications, and its tools. Explore this new approach to user interface design.
Leverage component-based architecture in Web Dynpro Java business applications:
Part 2 — Component models
This is the second installation in a three-article series on the componentization of Web Dynpro Java business applications. Building on the general concepts, principles, and benefits of a component-based application design, this article focuses on the conceptual aspects of the two independent component models that exist in the Web Dynpro Java application development context: the Web Dynpro component model and the SAP NetWeaver Development Infrastructure-defined Web Dynpro development component model. The article also provides an overview of a streamlined Web Dynpro component model and enhanced functions found in SAP NetWeaver Composition Environment 7.1.
Provide more efficient master data management integration with SAP’s new mass
interfaces and extractor programs
Enterprise service-oriented architecture (enterprise SOA) requires that you update your approach to building applications that use master data objects, such as customer or vendor data, especially in terms of integration with SAP NetWeaver Master Data Management (SAP NetWeaver MDM) or other MDM tools. SAP has introduced mass message interfaces
for transferring master data, as well as programs for both IDoc and ABAP proxy message types. Find out what steps are necessary to configure the new mass message interfaces and extractor programs to achieve the greatest productivity.
The Office Document Toolbox for creating RTF documents and spreadsheet files
using ABAP: Part 1 — Introducing a toolbox
for creating RTF documents
You can create Microsoft Word and Excel applications in ABAP using the COM interface. However, using the COM interface can be cumbersome and requires a certain level of technical knowledge. As an alternative, the author has developed an open-source solution — the Office Document Toolbox — that ABAP developers can use to create word processing documents in Rich Text Format (RTF) and spreadsheets in Excel XLS format, presented in a two-article series. This first article explains the underlying design structure of the toolbox and then focuses on the RTF part of the toolbox. The information here will prepare you for the second article that will present the Excel spreadsheet solution.
