Overview SAP Integration with MOSS

WSRP Web Part

NetWeaver Portal offers a WSRP Producer SharePoint Server 2007 can consume WSRP compliant Portlets WSRP (still 1.0) has lots of limitations WSRP implementations vary from vendor to vendor

iView Web Part

iViews are SAP Enterprise Portals equivalent of Web Parts Lightweight integration of portlets MOSS SSO is a prerequisite to iView Web Parts No Drag & Relate or other inter-portlet communication available Users must be mapped UI/stylesheets apply partly only (hard to apply themes)

Re-use of existing Business Packages from SAP

Web Dynpro Applications run on top of the ABAP stack or the JAVA stack No NetWeaver Portal required if Web Dynpro for ABAP is used Single Sign-On requires SAP NetWeaver JAVA stack Desired look and feel by CSS

Web Dynpro and BSP in MOSS

BDC connecting to SAP WebServices

nFor SAP we choose Web Services connectivity nBDC Definition Editor (part of MOSS SDK download) creates service description nImport XML description file to BDC as Shared Application nCreate Actions if needed

Issues with Consuming SAP APIs

BDC limitations Only SOAP or ADO.NET Must have Web Service layer between BDC and BAPIs/RFCs

Can call only one SOAP method at a time Aggregating output from a set of method calls is NOT possible in this release As SAP BAPIs/RFCs are extremely granular, this presents a problem

Youll need a Web Service layer Youll need a composition technique

Silverlight & SharePoint

Convergence of Silverlight and SharePoint will grow Silverlight within SharePoint offers RIA capabilities for SAP integrations:

Searching SAP Content

Option 1: have MOSS index SAP content BDC HTTP (for unstructured data) Option 2: federate SAP NetWeaver TREX Use Search Servers new federation feature (Available in Microsoft Search Server) TREX has Web service API (Must be adapted to present OpenSearch interface) Option 3: surface TREX in MOSS UI Add TREX-specific Web Parts to

CMIS Goals
A standard for sharing information stored in disparate repositories that is designed to :

Ensure interoperability for people and for applications among multiple

content repositories across all platforms

Easy mapping to existing ECM systems

oEnable applications to target one or more ECM repositories uniformly for core content services oExpose standard set of APIs for existing capabilities of CM repositories oLeverage existing content oSimple Object Access Protocol (SOAP) oRepresentational State Transfer (REST) / ATOM oWeb 2.0 oInternet Scale oService-orientation oResource-orientation

Provide several protocol bindings using the common domain model: Exploit web technologies

Enterprise Content Management : SAP Strategy and Relation to KM Out - of - the - Box Business apps with Composite Apps with SAP Further
embedded SAP core and extended ECM services core and extended ECM services Apps ( e . g . Portal )

nSAP is decoupling the ECM infrastructure layer from the application / consumption layer nSAP will provide and maintain core / basic services, in ABAP and Java. nSAP will closely work with partners to provision extended ECM services.

SAP ECM Service Layer SAP ECM Core Services Basic Conten t Servic es ( KM ) ( JAVA ) Extended ECM Services ( by Partners ) Document Managemen t In / Output Managemen t Digital Asset Managemen t Records Managemen t

Documen t Mgt . ( DMS ) ( ABAP )

Record s Mgt . ( RM ) ( ABAP )

Forms Managemen t

nSAP will keep the current scope of KM as a basic content service, in addition SAP will provide core missing features (e.g. archiving) and fix gaps. The KM architecture will remain unchanged and there will be no significant re-design nSAP will introduce an open ECM interface layer and partner for full-fledged ECM scenarios. SAP will focus on integrating and enriching SAP applications with ECM capabilities
