Looking for an SAP document which details the things PDK .NET supports

[Former Member]

Hello,

We are planning start building a massive project using the PDK .NET.

Before we begin we are looking for SAP official documents regarding what are the things the PDK .NET supports, what is it's latest version and when the next version suppose to be relaesed.

For example: Does it support the UME or KM API, Can it take the logged-on user from the portal ect.

Can someone please direct me to such document/s?

Thank you in advance,

Roy

Roy,

.NET PDK supports only two services: User Management and System Landscape. The former allows you to retrieve the user logged in and the user attributes. The latter allows you to retrieve the servers in your landscape.

.NET does not support other portal services, nor KM APIs. For those, you would need to build web services.

I have conducted a thorough analysis of .NET for one of my clients so if you need more details you can contact me at tsasu@sympatico.ca

So OBN is not supported...?

Hi,

OBN IS supported as you can see in the <a href="https://www.sdn.sap.comhttp://www.sdn.sap.comhttp://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/7f232d6c-0801-0010-1c8a-b6f">What's New Document</a>. It includes OBN Service API, the OBNAdapter component and the OBNView control, which enable implementing OBN in .NET portal applications.

OBN <i>is</i> supported as of "PDK <b>2.0</b> for .NET"

Hi Roy,

The latest version of the PDK for .NET is 2.0 and it has been released last week.

The pdk exposes 3 portal services: System Landscape, User management and Object Based Navigation.

All the PDK for .NET capabilities are well documented in the developer's guide at https://media.sdn.sap.com/html/submitted_docs/dotnet/index.htm.

Dear Tsachi,

I am leaving this post open since I need to check first with my other collages that they don't have any more questions regarding the PDK.

Once all is done I'll change it accordingly.

Roy.
