SAP Development Tools differences?

Dear all
I am new to SAP.
I want to learn development tools.
Why?
I want to create reports
I want to make new screens inside SAP
I want to make some validation on existing SAP screens
I want to integrate SAP with Other running application
I want to Send data to SAP
I want to get data from SAP
From my reading the tools I found are:
ABAP
.Net
Powerbuilder
May be there are other tools that I don’t know.
I need to know what are the limitation of ever tool in terms of the above points?
Thanks,

Hello Ramzy
You're actually approaching this from what I'd say is an incorrect angle. I think the first step is to determine what SAP product you are actually interested in. Then, see if the product has an SDK (not all SAP products have an SDK) and then see what development tool you need to work with the SDK (VS .NET, Java, PB, etc., etc.).
In this case you posted your query to the "NET SDK Application Development in BI Platform" Topic Space. Each SCN Topic Space has an Overview. The Overview in this Space:
As you can see, the products are; SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise, SAP BusinessObjects Edge, and SAP Crystal (Reports) Server. Therefore if you are interested in these products, you would post your queries here as Discussions. If you are interested in other SAP products, you will have to find the correct SCN Space for those. The following document should help you there:
Find Topic Spaces on SCN (Forums)
Happy coding,

Hi,
The newest and default version of Eclipse is Galileo which is version 3.5.x
According to the Widget development guide, widget developer tool covers Eclipse 3.3.x (Europa) and 3.4.x (Galileo).
The problem is solved by downloading one of those versions from http://wiki.eclipse.org/Older_Versions_Of_Eclipse and installing widget development tools.

Error while Installing and Starting SAP Widget Development Tools

Hi All,
I have downloaded Eclipse: eclipse-SDK-3.3.2-win32.zip from http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/download.php?file=/eclipse/downloads/drops/R-3.3.2-200802211800/eclipse-SDK-3.3.2-win32.zip
I am following the link: https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/c032ae0a-7d6b-2a10-14a1-cc6efb066dfc
for Installing and Starting SAP Widget Development Tools as an Eclipse Plug-in
I am very new to it, So I was following Step by Step procedure.
On the 16th step I am getting an error:
AP Widget Templates (0.12.0.1167) requires feature "org.eclipse.gef (3.3.0)", or equivalent.
I had download the SAP Widget Development Tools.zip file from https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/downloads?rid=/webcontent/uuid/b03b6544-c741-2a10-8999-ed04eb2b2c71
While unzipping the eclipse-SDK-3.3.2-win32.zip, there were two errors:
The System cannot find the file specified &
The file name or extension is too long.
I ignored them and continued the unzipping.
Please guide me as to how we can solve this error.
Ankur
Is it because I am using Eclipse 3.3.2 and not 3.3.0? If yes from where I can download Eclipse 3.3.0
Edited by: ankur malhotra on Jul 25, 2008 7:36 AM

Hi Ankur,
This happens sometimes because of the Eclipse that you use. Download the Eclipse JEE Version. When you go to eclipse.org and try to download eclipse you can do a comparision of the versions there, You download the version which supports all the web features.
http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/packages/eclipse-ide-java-ee-developers/ganymeder
Check the above link you will be able to see the package details. Please download this Java IDE for EE developers and try installing the SAP widgets foundation then, If you are facing any problems in installing the plugins thru local archived site please let me know.

Tools for SAP development work management?

Hi fellow SAP developers!
As you know, in a big software company the management of development work can be a challenge. Everyone should be able to see quickly who is doing what, who is available for new work, how did some old requests get solved and where is their documentation. We are talking about more than just some simple ticket management system here. It would be a central repository and work management tool for years to come.
I am interested to hear some suggestions for good tools that can be used for development work management in SAP world.
- It should be a tool where development requests can be input, reviewed, approved, documented and stored.
- It should support storing attachments
- It should support a project structure, under which the development items are created.
- It should be searchable and have different views to the development requests (for example by project, request raiser, developer, status etc.)
- It should have some kind of approval system or workflow.
- It should also support email notifications when the status or person assignment changes.
- It should run on large corporate network (accessible in intranet, perhaps via browser).
- A nice bonus would be a mobile client access for urgent cases
I'm keen to hear any proposals, even if not all the points in the wishlist are fullfilled
I'm interested to hear any comments on your exeperiences on various work management tools. What worked and what not?

Well, a SAP based product would be efficient as it is integrated and there would be no need for additional licenses etc.
I have to investigate the Solution manager offerings more, if that indeed could handle this task. Have you got any further information or experience?
Rally sounds interesting as well! Are there any other tools like that, proven good in SAP development?
For simply using Abap workbench, I'm afraid that is not good enough for what I'm after. How would you manage for example work queues, project based issue views and extensive solution documentation with it? And everything would have to be searchable and visible for also for non-technical managers who do not log in to SAP.

Tool to generate SAP Developer key (exists)

Dear Experts,
I have incident here from our consultant who got a proper SAP Developer key. After few questions, we found out he got it via a tool which can generate a proper SAP developer key. I have checked in Marketplace SCCR, there was no record for his user ID's.
Anyone ever encountered this incident? I still don't believed people can generate exact SAP Developer key (I registered his ID's from SAP Marketplace and more surprising got the same number). I just curious how this possible.
Thanks a lot,
Best Regards,
Achmad

Hi Glen,
I am agree with you and raised complain to the consultant. I know there are some way to hack requirement for developer key but my current issue is he got the proper (exact) SAP developer key without generated via Marketplace. How that is possible?
My opinion, only person who got in touch with SAP kernel developer (or hacker of SAP kernel) you know exactly how to generate SAP developer key.
I just curious because this is the first time I got this incident from my 15 years SAP life. hacking ABAP program to avoid developer key are one thing, but generating proper and exact SAP developer key without marketplace is totally differently level of hacker.
Best Regards,
Achmad

What's the difference between the Application Developer Tools and Server Applications CD

I have 2 questions about Sql Server 2005.
1. I have 2 sets of CDs, one is called Sql Server 2005 Developer Edition, Applications Developer Tools, and another one called Sql Server 2005 Developer Edition Servers Server Applications.
I installed the Applications Developer Tools on my development pc, and I was able to use create and populate a database, and use Sql Server Management Studio fine. I wonders what 's the Servers Server Applications set of cds for.
2. I just like to install Sql Server 2005 on a test pc also. Can I use my Developer Edition Applications Developer Tools to install it ?
Thanks.

NW and NW CE development tools

Hi,
What is the future of the current 2 versions (in regular NW and NW CE) of development tools? Will it stay like this or be merged into 1 version?
Regards,
Tamas

Hi,
In essence, Netweaver is mainly an application server while CE is intended to be more from a development perspective.
Check Netweaver versions differences
1.- If we have running a SAP Netweaver Portal 7.0 with ESS/MSS, Could we upgrade to NW CE 7.2 and still running ESS/MSS?
This would not be possible. To upgrade to CE 7.2 you should be on a corresponding CE lower version.
2.- Is it possible install SAP NW CE on a same server that SAP ERP (for example HCM)?
Yes it would be possible, but depends on the hardware also. For productive systems, it would not be recommended.
3.- In a clean installation, Is SAP NW CE 7.2 enough to run SAP Portal ESS/MSS? I mean, Is some software unit/usage type (for example EP Core) necesary? or just deploy the Business Package for ESS and that is all.
You could deploy the ESS/MSS business packages and perform the necessary configuration. The corresponding technical usage required on CE side would be Composition Environment which include the EP.

HI
If i remember correct , Installation will ask you for MaxDB user ids , it will give errors latter if you give lengthy user ids ( i think >8 or 9 ) . So try not to give lengty ids also check your host name. Looks like that also too long
Thanks

Alternatives to SAP GRC Tool to monitor compliance & automatic provisioning

Hello Gurus,
Not sure if this would be the right forum to ask this but surely there exist tools in the market which are viable alternatives to the SAP GRC Tool. We are a large semiconductor firm and currently manage role assignments, user provisioning and auditing manually.It is a huge cost overhead and is labor intensive.
Looking at possible alternatives?
SAP GRC Tool is a strong contender but I am trying to weigh in other options with it and their comparisons.
To your minds, what would be the biggest advantage of implementing GRC versus any other third party tool? What is the distinctive edge it provides? This is also to help me build a strong business for pushing GRC to the management.
Appreciate any thougts/ideas/suggestions, at the earliest!! Much appreciated.
-Tan
Edited by: Tania Nijhawan on Jul 21, 2011 2:19 AM

Hi Tania,
GRC is a convenient grouping of solutions that have been developed and acquired over time. There are pros and cons in every application and no one can say that SAP GRC is 100% best and un comparable with any other compliance product in the market.
But, I can strongly say that GRC gels well with all the SAP flavours such as ECC and BI, and it is easy to implement, incorporate, and manage.
With the introduction of GRC 10, SAP is looking at more features and easy to manage compliance solutions. I bet you can't get A to B product comparision anywhere. I rather suggest you to look at the top ten features and advantages in different products in terms of deployment, adaptability, user friendlyness etc., and opt for the right one.
