Why SAP Net Weaver Int e roperabi l i t y w i th Mic roso ft .NET?

We at Akzo Nobel Chemicals have chosen SAP and Microsoft as ourkey software vendors. For us it is extremely important to understandhow both companies work together to give us the full technicalinteroperability between SAP NetWeaver and Microsoft .NET not only

today, but also in the future

Gerard HelminkGroup Information Officer, Chemical DivisionAkzo Nobel

60% of SAP solutions run on Microsoft servers

More than 90% of desktops use Windows and Office

Microsoft Windows is the only platform that supports all SAP products

Microsoft is one of our biggest partners:

Microsoft is 95% partner and 5% competitor. (H. Kagermann)

Therefore: SAP customers demand to understand interoperabilitybetween SAP NetWeaver with Microsoft .NET

The .NET Serv er

ASP.NET Networking process is used to run the .NET iViews. IIS is notbeing used

All ASP.NET objects (request, response, session, application) should

be available to the iView developers

The server could run as NT service

In teroperab i l i t y Fram ew ork

A framework that allows API calls from the Java stack to the .NET stackand vice versa

For each .NET object that can be called from Java a Java proxy objectis created and vice versa

On the the .NET side, .NET Remoting technology is being used

A new class is introduced SAP.Portal.Web.UI.iView

Derives from System.Web.UI.Page means it is similar to ASP.NET page

iViews inherit from it

Context objects are available through properties of the iView (Profile,Logger, User Information, )

SAP .NET c ont ro ls Provide a set of .NET controls that will be used to create .NET iViews in

an easy way

Support SAP unified rendering

Easy connectivity to connectors responsible for retrieving data

Use Portal User information Culture, Theme

Will be available through the VS.NET Toolbox
