Difference between Netweaver 7 SR2 and Netweaver 7 SR3

Guys,
Can anyone tell me the difference between Netweaver 7 SR2 and Netweaver 7 SR3, I have a question out with SAP regarding the supportability of SCM 5.1 on Windows 2008.
The response I got back was that SCM 5.1 is based on Netweaver 7 SR2, but it was my understanding that the SR designation was for the level of support packs and kernel upon vanilla installation. Have I missed something fundamental, because my SCM installation is patched to the highest level and therefore surpasses the patch and kernel levels provided by Netweaver 7 SR3.
TIA
Chris

Hello Chris,
The main difference between these releases is the initial SP level that comes with each media kit:
NetWeaver 7.0 SR3: 14
NetWeaver 7.0 SR2: 9
NetWeaver 7.0 SR1: 6
For more details, you can check note:
#789220 Support Package level for NetWeaver Installations/Upgrades
Other differences relate to the (new) installer with some bugs corrections and a few additional features and restrictions:
- the Unicode restriction in SR3: "Only Unicode support for new installations" - "Every newly installed SAP system is a Unicode system. However, non-Unicode is still supported for copied and upgraded systems." So a new install based on SR3 must be UNICODE. On the other way, if you upgrade your, say, SR1 system to SR3, you can still run it NON-UNICODE.
- SR3 supports only 64bit new installs on the Central Instance. However, if you need to add dialog instances (application servers), they can be 32bit ones (albeit 64bit is always recommended). When upgrading your system from SR1 to SR3 (for example), you can skip this restriction. That is, you can keep your CI in 32bit, although this is highly not recommended.
A common workaround for these restrictions (if you want to keep your system NON-UNICODE and/or if you want to keep it 32bit) is to:
1) Install a SAP NetWeaver 7.0 SR2 (SAP ERP 2005 SR2, SAP CRM 5.0 SR2, SAP SCM 5.0 SR2, SAP SRM 5.0 SR2) system.
2) Patch this system to SAP NetWeaver 7.0 SR3 (SAP ERP 6.0, SAP CRM 5.0 SR3, SAP SCM 5.0 SR3, SAP SRM 5.0 SR3).
There are more features / restrictions on the installation guides for SR3 in section: "1.1 New Features"
Also, there is many more minor differences like, for example, that you can only install a SAP system in a Windows 2008 from NetWeaver 7.0 SR3 and up - see note #1054740.
I hope this information helps.
Best regards,
Tomas Black

Difference between ecc6.0 AND Netweaver 2004s

HI all,
I want to understand the basic difference between ECC 6.0 and netweaver 2004s.ECC 6.0 is abap and stack and if we want to java stack then do we install netweaver 2004s java stack seperately or we have a java addin for ecc 6.0 facility.If we install netweaver 2004s abap stack only does that mean that we have ecc 6.0 installed?

Hi,
Ecc 6 is Comes under the ERP
While Netweaver 2004s is Sepereat component under which BW.XI Portal come.
You can install ABAP+ JAVA in both the Cases.
If you install Netweaver 2004s only ABAP it does not become ECC6.
Thanks Rishi Abrol

Difference between ecc6.0 and netweaver

Hello Friends,
Kindly explain me the below
Our ISU and CRM were configured and installed at the same time.
The component version in ISU is SAP ECC 6.0 where as the component version in CRM is CRM 5.0.
Is net weaver the platform for ECC6.0?
I understand ecc6.0 is r/4 with internet.
Why is CRM an another version and not part of ECC6.0
Kindly clarify,
Thanks
Regards,
Rasiq Khan

Hi ,
ECC 6.0 is just the core ERP system. It has been changed from R/3 to ECC. It runs on top of the WebAS 6.40 which is a component of the netweaver platform. Just remember that ECC 6.0 is the same as the ERP system R/3, its just been renamed and improved.
MySAP refers to the classic ERP package, whereas Netweaver is the platform.
Check also
http://www.sap.com/solutions/business-suite/index.epx for mysap
and
http://www.sap.com/solutions/netweaver/index.epx fro Netweaver
Netweaver is the platform....EP , PI(XI),BI(BW),MDM are the main components in netweaver.

Difference between NetWeaver 2004 and NetWeaver 7.0 or 7.1

I am little confused and curious to know the recent changes happening in SAP.
Can you please tell me the differences between NetWeaver 2004 and NetWeaver 7.0 or 7.1
NetWeaver 2004 is named because SAP has released it in 2004
and then we have XI 3.0, XI.7.0(that is PI right) , EP6.0 etc as individual components have different versions released in NewtWeaver suite.
But what is this NetWeaver 7.0.
We have EE5 or ECC6 and WebAs 6.4 or GUI 6.4 or recently GUI 7.o or WebAs 7.0.
How does all these differe, is individual component of NetWeaver upgraded with higher versions or total NetWever is upgraded with a higher version.
Can any one please tell me the exact difference between versions.
If some one has ECC6 installed in their environment does it mean that they have Netwaver components like XI, EP, MDM.. etc are installed or its only R/3, BI etc...
How it works exactly?
Thanks,
Kiran.

NW04 is a 'Java version' which means you can develop applications using Java and export them to portal.
NW04s is a 'ABAP version'.Here you can develop ABAP reports and transactions and export them to portal. There you can create iViews using them.
Netweaver 04s, includes both the ABAP and Java stacks. The Sneak preview for NW04s is only for the ABAP stack, and the Sneak Preview NW04 SP15 is only the java stack. If you are using the sneak preview for ABAP, you can develop WDA applications and BSP applications, they run directly in the engine, not in a portal. But they can be embeded in an iView in some portal. You don't have to have a portal to run your application. If you are using the java side, you can develop WDJ applications and JSP applications. Same applies here, they run on the java engine, not in a portal, but can be embeded into an iView which runs on the portal. But you don't need a portal for your application to run. The portal is just a frontend UI, the apps themselves run on the underlying engine, whether its ABAP or JAVA.

Difference Between Netweaver 6 and Netweaver 7 and Netweaver 7.2

Dear all,
Right now my company uses on SAP ECC 6.0.
can any body tell me that what is the difference between these versions of netweaver.
Plz. reply me or give me some links .

Thanx in advance

There is nothing like Netweaver 6. [There is only ECC 6.0]. Netwever is the technology Platform of SAP Business suite ( Coponents of it include ECC 6.0, CRM, SRM ). Hence, the underlying Technology platform of ECC6.0 is Netweaver 7.0.
As more capabilities are added to Netweaver 7.0, they (NW components like PI, MI, Portal) are versioned and released as NW7.1.
SAP NetWeaver 7.2, the next platform release delivering innovations for all major technology capabilities, including SAP NW BW, SAP NW Portal, SAP NW PI, and SAP NW BPM.

Difference between Smart Forms and Adobe Form

Hi all,
What are disadvantages of Smart form in SAP ,
What is difference between Smart Forms and Adobe interactive Form.
I heard from someone that in future Adobe interactive Form will repalce smart forms. Is it true or not
Best Regards
Srikanth

Hi,
Companies depend on formal documents that reflect their corporate identities and contain critical business information from live systems. SAP and Adobe partnered for automating and streamlining forms-based communication to support customers who create reusable forms for their business processes.
SAP Interactive Forms by Adobe will be used more and more as a way of simplifying and automating manual processes.
There are various advantages of Adobe forms.
SAP Interactive Forms by Adobe provides all the features and functions you need to create form-based output, such as order confirmations, invoices, or pay slips. You can either print such documents or send them by email or FAX.
Online Interactive Forms
A user logs on to the company intranet to fill in a form required by the HR department (for example, a Non-Disclosure Agreement to be signed by a new employee). The form is displayed in the browser.
As the user is logged on in the background to the company's HR system, his master data is displayed in the form. The user enters the required information in the fillable fields of the interactive form, and sends the data back to the system by pushing a button. The system extracts the data from the form and saves it in the database.
Offline Interactive Forms
The purchasing department of a company creates a bid in its Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system and selects the potential vendors. Based upon this data, the system automatically creates interactive bidding forms with specific vendor information, such as the address or contact person.
The forms are transmitted to the vendors by email. The vendors can fill out the forms offline (without being connected to the system that created the forms) and transmit them back to the company. The company then processes the forms automatically, and the data provided by the vendors is written to the ERP system. The purchasing department uses the data to evaluate the quotation and then issues an order.
With the integration of Adobe PDF technology into its solutions, SAP will be able to further extend its offerings of end-to-end business solutions by:
Providing for the first time the capabilities of Adobe's interactive PDF-based forms.
Integrating PDF documents into business processes that are driven by SAP applications.
Automating the process of moving XML data from SAP applications into interactive forms and vice versa.
Reducing time to design, manage, and maintain extended forms-based processes through easy-to-use forms design and deployment tools.
Offering its customers enhanced printing capabilities, in particular for interactive Web applications.
The focus of new forms technology from SAP is interactive PDF-based forms that can be created in SAP systems as a result of the integration of Adobe technology with Web Dynpro and the SAP NetWeaver Developer Studio. This integration means that adobe is the future technology.

Kate

Difference between 4.6 and 4.7 vesion in MM point of view

Hai,
can any body tell me the difference between 4.6 and 4.7 version. Please treat it as Urgent

SAP BW 7.0 is called SAP BI and is one of the components of SAP NetWeaver 2004s. There are many differences between them in areas like extraction, EDW, reporting, analysis administration and so forth. For a detailed description, please refer to the documentation given on help.sap.com.
1. No Update rules or Transfer rules (Not mandatory in data flow)
2.Instead of update rules and Transfer rules new concept introduced called transformations.
3. New ODS introduced in additional to the Standard and transactional.
4. ODS is renamed as DataStore to meet with the global data warehousing standards.
And lot more changes in the functionalities of BEX query designer and WAD etc.
5. In Infosets now you can include Infocubes as well.
6. The Re-Modeling transaction helps you adding new key figures and characteristics and handles historical data as well without much hassle. This facility is available only for info cube.
7. The BI accelerator (for now only for infocubes) helps in reducing query run time by almost a factor of 10 - 100. This BI accl is a separate box and would cost more. Vendors for these would be HP or IBM.
8. The monitoring has been improved with a new portal based cockpit. Which means you would need to have an EP guy in your project for implementing the portal !
9. Search functionality has improved!! You can search any object. Not like 3.5
10. Transformations are in and routines are passe! Yes, you can always revert to the old transactions too.

What's the difference between XI basis and regular basis?

I am an SAP basis admin for years.
Now my corp starts to use XI.
What is the difference between XI basis and regular basis if there is any?
Thanks!

Hi,
No difference... Basis is Basis (Technical consultant)... According to me its just terminology changed. i.e. SAP Administrator instead of SAP basis.
For XI you may need to additionally control the Java stack administartion along with ABAP stack.
Please go thourgh the below link to know about SAP NetWeaver Administrator, then you may compare with regular Basis activities

Difference between Guided Procedures and Business Workflow?

Hi,
I'm new to workflows, so this question could be easy or absurd.
Is there a difference between Guided Procedures and Business Workflows? Or is this
the same thing with two names?
If it is different, when do I use which of them?
Could both use UWL?
Thanks a lot
greetz
chris

Workflow is a technology used to support business processes. You can make workflows without thinking/doing business processes. When you do business processes you will always wind up using workflow technology. All business process execution tools should by principle use a workflow engine at least SAP ones do. Not sure about others like Oracle BPEL tools for example.
SAP tools like GP and BPM/XI use either Netweaver Java or Abap workflow embedding the technical aspects of workflow design and runtime into the Netweaver stack simplifying the business user experience as it relates to designing and running business processes. But designing and running workflows using workflow tools directly still is very muc an IT challenge.
