Which is better Abap or Netweaver

Hello friends
I am dotnet developer with 2+ yrs experiance ,i developed web and windows applications using c# ,
now i want to move towards SAP ,as a developer i have to choose technical module
but my dout is in that technical which is best as per my experiance in C#
either ABAP  or  NetWeaver  which is most related to a developer point of view
can any one give the pre requsites for  learning ABAP or NetWeaver
Thanks

Hi,
please go through the following material...
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/db22242d-0701-0010-28a2-aeaa1fefd706
Also, I have the official Web Dynpro for ABAP documentation. Please let me know if I should send it to you.
Hope that the following also helps you.
Web Dynpro for ABAP (WD4A, WDA) is the SAP standard UI technology for developing Web
applications in the ABAP environment. It consists of a runtime environment and a graphical
development environment with special Web Dynpro tools that are integrated in the ABAP
Workbench (SE80).
Web Dynpro offers the following advantages for application developers:
● The use of declarative and graphical tools significantly reduces the implementation
effort
● Web Dynpro supports a structured design process
● Strict separation between layout and business data
● Reuse and better maintainability by using components
● The layout and navigation is easily changed using the Web Dynpro tools
● Stateful applications are supported – that is, if the page is changed and the required
data remains intact so that you can access it at any time throughout the entire
application context.
Note that stateless applications are not possible.
● Automatic data transport using data binding
● Automatic input check
● Automatic operation of the Web Dynpro application using the keyboard
● User interface accessibility is supported
● Full integration in the reliable ABAP development environment
Web Dynpro Architecture
Definition
Web Dynpro is the SAP NetWeaver programming model for user interfaces (UIs).
The Web Dynpro model is based on the Model View Controller paradigm, and has the
following features that build on the classic dynpro model:
● Clear separation of business logic and display logic
● Uniform metamodel for all types of user interfaces
● Execution on a number of client platforms.
● Extensive platform independence of interfaces
Structure
Metamodel Concept
Web Dynpro provides support for developing Web representation of a business application.
You use specific tools to describe the properties of a Web Dynpro application in the form of
Web Dynpro metadata. The necessary source code is then generated automatically and
executed at runtime. In addition to the events offered by the framework, you can also define
your own events for a Web Dynpro application. However, the event handling must always be
programmed in separate source code areas which are executed automatically when the event
is triggered at runtime.
In Web Dynpro, each user interface is always made up of the same basic elements. These
elements of the metamodel can be statically declared using Web Dynpro tools.
It is also possible to implement elements of the metamodel at runtime and to change them or
reintegrate them at runtime. Using these implementations, you can make any changes or
enhancements to a user interface that has been created by declarative methods by
generating new interface structures at runtime.
This means that you can combine declarative processes and the implementation of source
code.
Graphical Development Tools
To support this declarative concept, both the SAP NetWeaver Developer Studio and the
ABAP Workbench contain a range of Web Dynpro tools. You can therefore generate a large
proportion of a Web Dynpro application using the tools provided, without having to create your
own source code. This applies to the following parts of the application:
● Data flow between the front end and back end
● Layout of the user interface
● Properties of user interface elements
The Web Dynpro tools enable you to create source text areas manually within generated
source texts. These areas are not changed if the source code is regenerated.
Separation of Business and Application Logic
Using Web Dynpro enables a clear separation of business logic and display logic. A Web
Dynpro application runs on the front end and has local or remote access to the back end
system via a service. This means that the display logic is contained in the Web Dynpro
application, while the business logic and the persistence of the business objects run in the
back end system. The following options are currently available for connecting Web Dynpro
applications and the back-end system:
● An interface generated using adaptive RFC, through which BAPIs of an SAP system
can be called
● An interface for calling Web services
● A self-generated interface
The source code required for connecting the Web Dynpro application can be generated
from a UML definition of the Web Dynpro interface. A UML definition can be imported
into the Web Dynpro tools as an XML file.
Conversion of the Model-View-Controller
Conversion of the Model-View-Controller Programming Model
Every Web Dynpro application is structured according to the Model View Controller
programming model:
● The model forms the interface to the back end system and thus enables the
Web Dynpro application access to data.
● The view is responsible for the representation of the data in the browser.
● The controller lies between the view and the model. The controller formats
the model data to be displayed in the view, processes the user entries made by the
user, and returns them to the model.
/people/thomas.jung/blog/2006/06/20/web-dynpro-abap-demonstration-videos
Just to add to what has been mentioned, please understand that the "Netweaver" name is just a name for the technology layer which includes amoung other things the Netweaver Application Server, ABAP stack, and Java Stack. All other SAP solutions run on these stacks. For example, ECC(previously R/3) runs on the ABAP stack. So ABAP is not going away. There are literally millions of lines of ABAP code that make up the ECC component. This code runs most of the major companies of the world. So you could say that ABAP runs the world businesses. SAP has enhanced the ABAP language as well as the runtime over the years, and does not seem to be slowing down.
Hope this helps

  • Which is better External View OR Database procedure Proxy ?

    Hi Jasmin and Kilian,
    Creation of External View in HANA and consume in ABAP.
    Which is better External View OR Database procedure Proxy.

    Message was edited by: Jens Weiler
    Branched from http://scn.sap.com/thread/3498161

    Hi Pravin,
    that depends on your application logic and use case. There is no general recommendation for one or the other.
    If, for instance, you have input parameters, you would go for a DB procedure proxy, since the external view does not allow to pass input parameters from the ABAP to the HANA column view.
    On the other hand, if you would like to consume the result in an ALV with integrated data access (the "next generation ALV"), you would rather go for an external view... so - like the answer to so many other questions - it depends... .
    Cheers,

  • Regarding which is better

    Hi to all iam santhosh kumar .i have compleated ABAP/4 now i want to learn other module either BW or XI some r saying learn XI,but some r  saying learn BW. which is better iam unable to decide which i choose.actually iam B.Tech 2007 passed out.and tell me how is openings for BW...and i know some other coding languages C,C++ .pls help me.........

    What's better:
    peanut butter or BMW?
    What I'm trying to say is that you can't compare XI to BW.
    They are two different products from the same vendor (SAP).
    BW is data warehousing, which means working with large databases. 
    XI is system integration and is focused on communication between systems.
    Depends on what you like...

  • Hi friends , in mapping program ,which is better one.why? explain me.

    1)In mapping program ,which is better one.why? explain me.

    Actually the sequence is
    Graphical
    Java
    XSLT
    ABAP
    graphical mapping can prove to be the simplest of all mappings and easy to so also as u have a mapping editor and standard functions available.
    when this becomes too complex v generally opt for java / xslt mappings.
    when u are much comfortable with abap u may also opt for abap mapping.
    still the choice depends on scenario. performance wise graphical and java mappings have
    good results (also depends on ur code in java mapping).
    refer this:

  • Diff. bet ABAP  and SAP Query

    HI
    Anybody can explain in detail about ABAP  and SAP Query.....
    And tell me what is the main diff. bet ABAP  and SAP Query...
    Regards
    S.Baskaran

    SAP Query
    Purpose
    The SAP Query application is used to create lists not already contained in the SAP standard system. It has been designed for users with little or no knowledge of the SAP programming language ABAP. SAP Query offers users a broad range of ways to define reporting programs and create different types of reports such as basic lists, statistics, and ranked lists.
    Features
    SAP Query's range of functions corresponds to the classical reporting functions available in the system. Requirements in this area such as list, statistic, or ranked list creation can be met using queries.
    All the data required by users for their lists can be selected from any SAP table created by the customer.
    To define a report, you first have to enter individual texts, such as titles, and select the fields and options which determine the report layout. Then you can edit list display in WYSIWYG mode whenever you want using drag and drop and the other toolbox functions available.
    ABAP Query, as far as I Believe, is the use of select statements in the ABAP Programming. This needs a knowledge of Open SQL commands like Select,UPdtae, Modify etc. This has to be done only by someone who has a little bit of ABAP experience.
    To sum up, SAP queries are readymade programs given by SAP, which the user can use making slight modification like the slection texts, the tables from which the data is to be retrieved and the format in which the data is to be displayed.ABAP queries become imperative when there is no such SAP query existing and also when there is a lot of customizing involved to use a SAP Query directly.

  • Which is better to use: BEx query or Web Application as an iView in portal?

    Hi gurus!
    Are there any experienced opinions, which is better - publish a BEx query in portal or publish a BEx Web Application in portal? Is it easier to alter the layout attributes etc. if I create a BEx Web Application first before publishing?
    What is the way of fixing for example filter item height if I publish BEx query in portal - is there a Web Application that it uses anyhow which I can fix? Or can I use in that case iView -properties in portal?
    Thankful for advice
    Sari

    ok, means i can use jsp:useBean tag for all my
    classes that are not actually bean. so it will be
    instantiated at run time and provide efficiency .No. Jsp:useBean is used for java bean components.
    >
    but when should i use import statement in my jsp and
    it happen at translation time so will it create any
    type of burden for my code if i import multiple
    classes.For non-java beans, you need to import the classes, period.
    It's not a burden, it's a necessity.

  • Which is better for performance Azure SQL Database or SQL Server in Azure VM?

    Hi,
    We are building an ASP.NET app that will be running on Microsoft Cloud which I think is the new name for Windows Azure. We're expecting this app to have many simultaneous users and want to make sure that we provide excellent performance to end users.
    Here are our main concerns/desires:
    Performance is paramount. Fast response times are very very important
    We want to have as little to do with platform maintenance as possible e.g. managing OS or SQL Server updates, etc.
    We are trying to use "out-of-the-box" standard features.
    With that said, which option would give us the best possible database performance: a SQL Server instance running in a VM on Azure or SQL Server Database as a fully managed service?
    Thanks, Sam

    hello,
    SQL Database using shared resources on the Microsft data centre. Microsoft balance the resource usage of SQL Database so that no one application continuously dominates any resource.You can try the 
    Premium Preview
    for Windows Azure SQL Database which offers better performance by guaranteeing a fixed amount of dedicated resources for a database.
    If you using SQL Server instance running in a VM, you control the operating system and database configuration. And the
    performance of the database depends on many factors such as the size of a virtual machine, and the configuration of the data disks.

  • Which is better??????

    which is better?Dam really confused which speaker to buy??
    i currently have a creative m2600.but am not getting enough performance or that feel while watching movies like avatar,step up 3 etc......so am planning to buy a 5.1.......not planning but i have decided to buy a 5.1....so..
    which is better? the 6160 or 6060 or 6100.
    which of these will provide me relly great exprience while playing games and most importantly while whatching hd movies and while listening to music.......
    and other than this what i have to ask is...what is this "db" in speakers. i mean while looking at a speaker specs we can see it..like 65db,85db,75db..etc........
    and when i compared specs of the three speakers i mentioned above i saw that the 6160 has low "db"........why is that?

    The specs is just a guide, you won't be able to tell the slight difference in db using just your ears. Besides, it is just a comparison between the level of a music to the level of background noise, it does not necessary mean which speaker sounds better. If possible, please make a trip to your local electronics store and try out the speakers system yourself.

  • Which is better an android or apple

    Which is better getting an android smart phone or an Apple I Phone?

    As the poster Horses 547 said its a matter of personal preference. However I own and use both. Printing via air print is smooth and easy on an iphone. Printing on a android phone is iffy and tedious and you will have to find an app to print since there is no native app to do so. I purchased http://www.printhand.com which costs around $12 from the app store. but it is in my opinion the best printing app out there for android. I use it on my android tablet as well and its great. This company is the maker of the print app on iphones.
    The iphone is a little harder to put your own ringtone on the device. However very easy from the Itunes you put on your computer and hook into.
    Another thing an iphone does is if you use their cloud service or pay for a song it is available on all your ios devices. Iphone, ipad, or ipod or up to five computers registered through itunes on those computers.
    Google play music also can sync with all your android devices.
    Iphone don't have external Micro SD card slots, so the storage on the phone is all you have.
    Iphones use imessage which does not count against your text allotment  to another iphone or ipad user. it send regular text to non iphone users.
    Another thing is Face Time but I found a better program called oovoo at http://www.oovoo.com or in the Google Play Store for free.
    Iphones are paper thin but I have an android that has a larger view area and is also paper thin and light. Depending on the android phone it may have a removable battery, whereas iphones are sealed as are some new androids. I have found the sound for music better on my iphone, and videos are crystal clear. Again on some better androids the music and video is comparable .
    There is really not many differences but it up to the user.
    One last good thing is iphones are updated via Apple, no long waits for OS updates like is done with Android devices, and android devices on Verizon.

  • Which is better for bulk message scenario in sap xi RFC or Proxy

    which is better for bulk message scenario in ( RFC or Proxy ) ?
    Edited by: prabhatxi on Aug 6, 2010 4:44 PM

    Proxy will alwaays be better option in this case, as it is adapter less framework, and communication happens directly with XI central integration engine. So it is always fast communication and gives good performance.
    But still you should consider other factors, you may consider using RFC as well, as sometime we go for RFC/IDOC as this are the standard interfaces already available rather than creating structure...
    May be you can share more info on what type/volume data are you planning to send via XI?
    Hope this cleart your doubt..

  • Which is better - Add a dimension or create more members in an existing

    Which is better - Add a dimension or create more members in an existing dimension?
    We are trying to figure out which can give us better performance in terms of calculations and retrieving reports - to add another dimension (entity/country) or add about 500-800 more members in an existing location/division dimension?
    Thank you!

    If you have BSO cube i would recommend to add in the same dimension where as ASO you can add members in a new dimension. Adding a new dimension is like creating a new cube you have to change each and every single calc scripts,report scripts,FR reports,Webforms and your rule files .... all the dependencies has to be changed manually . I think 500 members in the exsting BSO dimension will not impact the calc or retrieval times that much .
