Webdynpro abap for portal

[prasad]

Hi Portal gurus,

I am trying to learn web-dynpro abap for that we have used Se80 in r3 for practicing web dynpro abap,why it is necessary to install another "SAP NetWeaver Application Server ABAP 7.02 SP6 32-bit Developer Edition" for practicing webdynpro, this server is for download in download.

I think this is very basic question ,please explain concept for seperate server for webdynpro for abap when we can use se80 for developing webdynproabap applicaitions .

Thanks

Hello Prasad,

you need to install "SAP NetWeaver Application Server ABAP 7.02 SP6 32-bit Developer Edition", if you dont have R3. Since you already have R3 and developed webdynpro application then this is not required for you.

If you want to integrate your webdynpro application into the portal, then you need to install SAP CE 7.2 server (basically JAVA stack)

Thanks Saravanan,

i have one question , both "SAP NetWeaver Application Server ABAP 7.02 SP6 32-bit Developer Edition" and ECC 6.0(R3) are equal?

If i have installled portal server, can i use this "SAP NetWeaver Application Server ABAP 7.02 SP6 32-bit Developer Edition" as BackEnd to call some RFC's.

Thanks

They are not equal. Developer edition is a lighter version with only the framework for developing sample applications whereas ECC will have more functional stuffs.

SE80 is enough, you don't need a portal to develop webdynpro for ABAP

Hi,

Then why the server "SAP NetWeaver Application Server ABAP 7.02 SP6 32-bit Developer Edition" meant , which is present in download section of SDN.

Thanks

They are talking about NetWeaver for ABAP, that doesn't mean the portal.

The portal is NetWeaver Java
