Webdynpro ABAP and Light Speed Rendering Engine Performance reports

[Former Member]

Hello,

We will be applying the NW EhP1 and ERP EhP4 in November this year.

I am very much excited about the new Lightspeed rendering technology that SAP has delivered with Webdynpro ABAP.

Has anybody installed this already and can you comment about the performance of Webdynpro ABAP AFTER activating this new rendeing engine?

regards,

Atul Kulkarni

We have implemented the EHP1 for NW 7.0 and ERP EHP4 back in May 2009. The performance of web dynpro applications is much better with the new rendering engine. The new name is living up to it's character of speed of light.

The usability of the application has increased with the new trade show plus theme. For example pink background for fields with errors. Access Keys and Hot Keys are very useful, specifically if you are migrating legacy applications from systems/languages which rely heavily on access keys.
