Looking for pros and cons of using NWBC for SRM

[former_member195709]

Can anyone provide the details on pros and cons of using SRM with NWBC only?

I would like to find the possibility of using business suite with SRM add-on with limited infrastructure to start with.

NWBC seems to be the better option without portal.

Anyways any input on your experience with NWBC-SRM is appreciated.

Thanks

Bala

Hi Bala,

I am sorry about the delay.

You can run SRM in NWBC / SAP BC for Desktop or NWBC for HTML.

There are some limitations. The main one is in SAP Note 1476447:

I. Harmonized roles in NWBC HTML or NWBC Client

The following restriction should be considered before using harmonized roles in NWBC HTML or NWBC Client. This restriction is not applicable when you use Netweaver Enterprise Portal.

2nd level navigation in ERP is not supported when you use harmonized roles in NWBC HTML or NWBC client.
-  For example, you search for purchase order in POWL and click on an ERP purchase order. The purchase order is displayed. Now, if you click on any of the links in purchase order pointing to another ERP transaction, you may receive an error message that "Transaction is not recognized".

"2nd level navigation" means: Object-Based Navigation (OBN) is supported in NWBC. However, if a link points to a remote system, then OBN is not supported in the remote system.

Please check the note for other features and constraints.

Also, please check the documentation:

Portal-Independent Navigation Frame - SAP Library

It also contains a list of constraints.

HTH,

Julie.
