Basic difference between WAS and Netweaver

I justwant to a know a basic fundamental question. What is the basic difference between web application server and Netweaver. I am always geting confused in these two terms. Can anybody please explain?

Hi,
NetWeaver is:
An application and integration platform that unifies people, information and business processes
New technical foundation for all future SAP applications
A replacement for BASIS framework
A platform that is based on Enterprise Services Architecture (ESA); SAP hopes to release future product offerings in compliance with ESA
NetWeaver is NOT:
A product or a language
A replacement for SAP R/3!
A marketing strategy
The SAP Web Application Server is the technical platform for SAP NetWeaver, providing the complete infrastructure to develop, deploy and run all SAP NetWeaver components, the mySAP Business Suite, customer- developed applications and 3rd-party J2EE 1.3 compliant applications.
SAP Web AS fully supports both the proven ABAP technology and the open source internet-driven technologies—Java and Java 2 Enterprise Edition, also called J2EE.

  • Difference between WAS and Netweaver

    Hi Experts,
    In Web Application Server (WAS) we have ABAP+JAVA combindly. But in Netweaver Why JAVA and ABAP stacks are separated. What is the difference between WAS and Netweaver?
    Thanks in advance,
    Manoj

    Hi Manoj,
    Netweaver is the technology plattform of SAP.
    WAS is a component included in Netweaver plattform.

  • Basic differences between G2 and G3

    hey, is there a breakdown anywhere of the basic differences between G2 and G3?
    i've tried looking but everything i've read seems to single out the podcast features of g3 which to be honest, don't really do much for me, since i would be using it mostly for music.
    Are there substantial differences aside from the podcast features that would justify the upgrade? and if so, any idea where i can read about them?
    thanks in advance.
    G4   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

    there also some more differences as compare to gb2 is the ability to do music composition for your edited imovies and one more thing if you change your track to sound efxs you can drag audio files into your onscreen keyboard or your musical typing on your assign key to do music composition which gb2 dont provide last time.

    hi,
    like -> used for refering existing data elements in data dictionary or in sap
    type -> used for refering existing data types in sap.
    types: used for creating used defined structure of tables which has fields from more tahn one table.
    diff b/w types and type in creation of internal tables is that when u create a table with types then u can use same for work area creation also.
    ex:
    TYPES : BEGIN OF t_vbap,
    vbeln1 LIKE vbeln,
    posnr LIKE posnr,
    kwmeng LIKE kwmeng,
    netpr LIKE netpr,
    netwr LIKE netwr,
    werks LIKE werks,
    matnr LIKE matnr,
    arktx LIKE arktx,
    END OF t_vbap.
    data: itab1 type t_vbap
            wa_itab1 type t_vbap.
    when type is used then u have to create a defintion of work area for another time when internal table doesnt have headr line as
    ex:
    DATA : BEGIN OF t_vbap OCCURS 0,
    vbeln1 LIKE vbap-vbeln,
    posnr LIKE vbap-posnr,
    kwmeng LIKE vbap-kwmeng,

  • What are the Basic Differences between Oracle and  MS-SQL server Database?

    Hello,
            anybody pls Guide me about the Differences between Oracle and MS-SQL server Database.and also IBM Databases also
    Regards,
    Balaram

    SQL Server only works on Windows-based platforms, including Windows 9x, Windows NT, Windows 2000 and Windows CE.
    In comparison with SQL Server , OracleDatabase supports all known platforms, including Windows-based platforms, AIX-Based Systems, Compaq Tru64 UNIX, HP 9000 Series HP-UX, Linux Intel, Sun Solaris and so on.
    The SQL Server  advantages:
    SQL Server  holds the top TPC-C performance and price/performance results.
    SQL Server  is generally accepted as easier to install, use and manage.
    The Oracle  Database advantages:
    Oracle  Database supports all known platforms, not only the Windows-based platforms.
    PL/SQL is more powerful language than T-SQL.
    More fine-tuning to the configuration can be done via start-up parameters.

  • Basic difference between stateful and entity beans???

    Could anyone please explain the basic diff between stateful bean and an entity bean.as per my understanding,stateful beans are extensions to clients.they perform a job of a client and they r not persistent.also their state goes off when the server crashes or the machine is reeboted.while in contrast,an entity bean can retain its session coz' they represent a persistent field in the DB.What i have seen in few books(O'reilly,etc)where a session bean can insert some values into the DB,which means it also represents a persistent object in the DB,which contradicts the statement that "stateful session beans dont represent any persistent object in the DB".Could anyone please elaborate on this.Thanks in advance.
    Jameel

    Thank u very much crackers for ur valuable
    suggestions.I'll throw a different one in here for free: clarity of writing is a highly-valued and useful skill in a software professional. This is especially true these days when concepts need to be clearly explained to a variety of technical peoples from all over the world. And then there's the other side of the coin: Management.
    You have to get your thoughts across in a very precise manner and, unfortunately for those who have to learn it as a second lanugage, English seems to be the overall preferred medium. Which makes it even more important to use "correct" English in written communications. If you don't, your credibility diminishes and you appear to be (horrors!) unprofessional It's not that much harder to type "you" than it is to use a single letter. Besides, most people that "pay by the byte" appreciate the clarity, as well (as I've seen on Usenet, by way of covering my ass).
    Now, back to our regularly scheduled post...
    Is this wat u were trying to say if i
    understood u correctly.Yes, the EntityBean is directly related to the data being persisted: in this case, a database table. So, using your example from below, the DB table would have two fields: a VARCHAR 'Name' and an INT 'Age.' The EntityBean would have corresponding fields/properties/variables, String name and int age.
    "WHICH BEAN (Entity
    or Sateful Session) SHOULD I GO 4???"No easy answer. The best one is: it depends. On what? It depends upon what you're trying to do with the data, how it's presented/manipulated, load requirements, environmental requirements, caching strategies, and about another dozen or so other high-level requirements.
    My personal preference is if I need caching and the number of EntityBeans actually in existence is pretty "low" (another nebulous and arbitrary value, depending), I'll use a StatelessSessionBean as a Facade (search for "patterns" here in the forum), with the persistence in CMP EntityBeans. Which is influenced by the fact that I like playing with CMP. ;D

  • Difference between "Export" and "Export form Fact Table" package

    Hi experts!
    Could you tell me what is the difference between "Export" and "Export form Fact Table" package?
    Tkanks
    Gabriel

    Hi,
    Basic difference between Export and Export from Fact Table is
    In standard package "Export" : We can perform this function when we are online and we have adequate amount of data to be exported. We can run this package eg: weekly or monthly. Here we use u201CExport Packageu201D to pull the data
    And in the administrative package "Export from Fact Table"   Mostly it is used to do the backend data loading  basically bulk data , also any formula logic has to be implemented on the data in that case we use the administrative package.
    Hope this helps.

  • Difference between view and window ?

    Hi All,
    Can you tell me a basic difference between view and window , maybe you can correlate your answers with concepts of HTML.
    Rajeev

    Hi Rajeev,
    A window is a place for displaying your views. Your view is not available to the outside world. View is available only to your component. However, your window is an interface view, which can be displayed in other components.
    A view contains your UI elements. It has a layout (a window does not). A window contains embedded views.
    In the window, you can define how navigation between views takes place (by creating navigation links).

  • Any basic differences between AT&T and Verizon, & other questions

    I am thinking of buying an iPad mini with retina display (32gb). This would most likely be the only iPad I would ever own. I would use it mostly at the house with wifi, but would like to have one with cellular for when we travel in the US and Canada, and for when the electricity goes out. We currently live in a location where both AT&T and Verizon are viable options, but sometime in the next year we hope to move. The state is rural and mountainous, so as we drive around, my spouse's iPhone (with an AT&T plan) often loses service, but so does my Jitterbug phone, which is not tied to any one carrier (as far as I know). A phone can get a signal in one locaton, but then lose it a few feet down the road. So, there is no way I can choose between AT&T or Verizon based on coverage because both are options right now and there is no way to predict which one(s), if any, might provide service to wherever we end up moving to. Therefore, I'm wondering if there are any basic differences between AT&T and Verizon (or any other of the possible carriers) in what they offer or how they work or what they charge and so on that can help me decide which one to choose since it is my understanding that once I pick one of them for an iPad, that decision can never be changed without purchasing a new device. (e.g., I had read somewhere that Verizon does not allow for voice and data at the same time, but since an iPad is not a phone, is that even an issue?) Also, will the iPad work if there is only regular 4G or 3G service? And will a cellular iPad work without signing up for a data plan since I expect to start with only wifi and then add a data plan later? Thank you.

    Alfred DeRose, Thank you for answering the second and third questions. Judging by what you wrote, I am assuming there are no differences between what AT&T and Verizon offer that affects iPads, other than looking at coverage area and the cost of "pay as you go" plans. And, as noted, coverage is not something I can base a decision on at this time. So, I either flip a coin to choose between AT&T and Verizon and hope the result is the right one after we move to wherever we end up finding a place to live, or I continue to wait for another year or more until we actually find a new house before I buy an iPad (or maybe a Kindle Fire HDX 8.9"to save money, but I think I've probably settled on an iPad mini retina 7.9" despite its smaller screen). That does not move me along the decision-making process at all, but it is what it is.
    Greatcall has not answered my question about what carrier(s) the Jitterbug Plus phone uses. If, in fact, it uses just the Verizon network, I will try to pay better attention to any possible differences in service areas between that phone and my spouse's iPhone as we travel around the state to see if that helps at all. But coverage is so location specific here that I don't think it will.

  • Difference between ITS and WAS server

    difference between ITS and WAS server

    Hello Pradeep,
    The ITS is the Internet Transaction Server.  WAS is Web Application Server.  I'm not sure how to compare the two because the WAS from Basis 6.40 and higher includes the ITS.  I think the question you wanted to ask is the difference between the Standalone ITS and the Integrated ITS???
    The Standalone ITS is installed on a web server (IIS or Apache usually).  It could also include another server that we call the AGate. 
    The Integrated ITS comes with the WAS Basis 6.40 and higher.  Therefore not needing a separate web server.
    There is also a note that lists some differences of the two.
