Versions and content of SAP Netweaver...

[Former Member]

Hi,

Could someone please point me to the versions of SAP Netweaver?

I would like to know the differences between SAP Netweaver, SAP Netweaver Portal, SAP Composition Environment, etc...

If I download SAP composition environment won't I have the SAP Netweaver Portal?

In SDN, under Downloads/SAP Netweaver Main Releases (http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/nw-downloads), which should I download?

What does SAP Netweaver contain and what does SAP Composition Environment contain?

Please provide me this information with the view that I am a fresher to SAP...

Thanks,

Agasthi...

Hi Agasthi...

SAP netweaver is a common name and normall it does not point to any specific product, and it consists of the following products:

SAP NetWeaver Web AS ABAP

SAP NetWeaver Web AS JAVA

SAP NetWeaver Portal

SAP NetWeaver BW&BI

SAP NetWeaver PI(XI)

SAP NetWeaver MDM ...

Normally the version here is SAP NetWeaver 7.0x.

SAP Composition Environment (SAP NetWeaver CE) is a robust platform that enables you to develop Java and composite applications from scratch and on top of existing services, the version is CE7.1x and CE7.2x.

So simply you can understand SAP NetWeaver CE as a higher version of SAP NetWeaver J2EE implimentation.

In case you want to test/use portal with CE, I think you can use the following edition:
