SAP ECC 6.0 webservice exposure

[Former Member]

Hi,

Do we need to buy netweaver stack separately to publish webservices from SAP ECC 6.0 or is it already supported.

I plan to integrate IBM Datapower with SAP ECC 6.0. Since Datapower does not support SAP adapters, if webservice support is not there we need to see if we need to also use IBM Websphere Transformation Extender or if customer is willing to buy netweaver stack?

Kindly reply.

Hi,

You can call web services in an ECC6 system without a J2EE stack.

By the way, Netweaver can be abap or java or both. It is wrong to speak about Netweaver stack when you want to speak about the J2EE stack. ECC6 is based on Netweaver 7.0 abap stack...

All of this is explained in http://help.sap.com

so the customer need not buy Netweaver ABAP stack if they have ECC 6.0, is that understanding correct?

Hi,

ABAP stack is the foundation of ECC 6.0. You don't need it separately.
