Hi Kumar,

<b>SAP NetWeaver Administrator (NWA)</b> is the new Web Dynpro-based tool for administration and monitoring, offering a central entry point to the whole SAP NetWeaver system landscape. The SAP NetWeaver Administrator can be used in a central scenario where it is capable of operating an entire system landscape containing ABAP and Java systems as the application platform of SAP NetWeaver.

for extra features.

The J2EE Engine <b>Visual Administrator</b> is a graphical user interface (GUI) that enables administration of the whole cluster, all cluster elements, and all modules running on them. It provides remote monitoring and management of managers, services, libraries, and interfaces working on each element in a single GUI.

Hi Gulsen

Whether NWA will have all the functionalities of VA ?? If NWA has the capability to monitor all the systems that are available in the landscape ...........whether it needs separate system to launch this software ?? So NWA is a optional tool whether you use it or not entirely depends on the client landscape. But VA will come by default with XI installation. Plz correct me if I am wrong.

Thanks

Hi,

NWA does not have all the functionalities of VA. They have different functionalities.

NWA has functions on landscape level. If you have only one system you use VA more than NWA. It depends on your needs, requirements.
