What is CAF?
CAF offers a wide variety of tools, services, processes, patterns and more valueable instruments for effective creation and maintenance of composite applications. Meanwhile the CAF is already successfully used by a whole string of applications like xPD, xIEP, xCQM, Mendocino to name some products. Moreover there are some partners and ISVs who work with CAF.
CAF Sandbox:
We were often asked if it's possible to check CAF and it is: you can install the NetWeaver SP11 Sneak Preview. The Composite Application Framework with the components CAF Core and Guided Procedure is part of this Sneak Preview.
You can find this download package in the SDN Download Catalog typed as 'SAP Evaluation Software' and the name of the package is 'Sneak Preview SAP NetWeaver 04 - Enterprise Portal', release 'EP 6.0 SP11' by June 14, 2005.
The Composite application Framework allows you to build composite applications that sit on top of existing applications and reuse existing functionality by utilizing service calls performed through web services. They can enable our Defense customers to propel forward while transforming their business towards an Enterprise SOA vision. By using SAP’s composite application framework Defense customers are provided a methodology as well as a comprehensive set of tools to manage and develop composite applications efficiently. Using composite applications for new development requests or business process changes can help organizations to leverage their existing IT investment, while driving the development of new and/or simplified business processes.
Composite applications deliver on this need by unifying people and processes with a smart integration platform that hides underlying system complexity and enables the kind of organizational synergy Defense organizations need. They run across multiple existing applications and information sources, driving critical end-to-end processes across heterogeneous systems in accordance with organizational strategy. They execute flexible workflow and business processes irrespective of underlying infrastructure enabling a flexible enterprise and accelerate return on investment by leveraging what is already in place.
