SAP Netweaver® - Composition Environment

SAP NetWeaver Composition Environment (CE) is a platform that enables building and running applications based on Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) principles. It offers a set of capabilities for integrating new and existing services – both by SAP and proprietary, into business-specific solutions. You can develop portable standard-compliant applications based on the latest Java Enterprise Edition (Java EE) 5 technologies and integrate them with existing SAP and third-party solutions using a central enterprise service registry. SAP NetWeaver CE increases development productivity by providing model-driven composition tools for creating services and user interfaces and orchestrating them into collaborative user-centric workflows.

SAP PI is more than just an Integration Broker - it delivers cross-component BPM functionality

The SAP NetWeaver CE IT Scenarios

To address the business needs of the customers, SAP NetWeaver CE enables the implementation of a set of IT scenarios, which map the software capabilities to real business cases. The IT scenarios include scenario variants that support customers in the entire process of building and running solutions specific to their requirements.

The SAP NetWeaver CE focuses on the following IT scenarios:

1. Developing Applications Using Java
   This scenario provides the process-oriented view of the typical activities that you can perform to craft your custom applications in a short timeframe and at a low cost using the Java technology that best fits your overall IT strategy. With SAP NetWeaver CE you can choose to develop a fully standard-compliant and portable Java EE 5 application, or benefit the model-driven, pattern-based approach of the Web Dynpro technology to boost your development productivity.
   
   
2. Creating Composite Applications
   This scenario offers guidance through the process of creating composite applications, which make use of data and functions provided as services by back-end systems and other underlying applications, and combine these into user-centric processes and pages, supported by its own business logic and specific user interfaces. To enable fast and efficient development process, SAP NetWeaver CE comprises a set of design-time capabilities for model-driven user interface development, service composition, and process orchestration, as well as the runtime environment required for running the composites.
   
   
3. Enabling Enterprise Services
   This scenario focuses on the service consumption aspects of SOA-compliant applications. It employs the SAP NetWeaver CE capabilities for service discovery and classification and explains the process of integrating services in your Java or composite applications.
   
   
4. Mobilizing Business Processes
   This scenario helps you mobilize your existing and new business processes. You use the development and runtime environment that SAP NetWeaver CE offers to build and run voice-enabled applications, which allow customers and employees to interactively access SAP or non-SAP solutions from a telephone.
   
   
5. Enterprise Reporting, Query, and Analysis
   This scenario shows how business experts can use the Visual Composer available in SAP NetWeaver Composition Environment to provide business intelligence data and capabilities directly in operational processes and to provide user-specific BI data directly in a given business context. This approach enhances the BI capabilities of SAP NetWeaver by providing a flexible modeling infrastructure that makes it possible to embed BI directly into applications for strategic and operational decision making.
   
   
6. Running an Enterprise Portal
   This scenario focuses on the configuration of the SAP NetWeaver CE portal as a development or test environment for running your composite applications, through the use of its advanced administration tools. Optionally, you can use the SAP NetWeaver CE portal as production environment by utilizing its federated portal network capabilities that allow you to integrate its content and applications into a remote corporate portal running on SAP NetWeaver 7.0. You benefit by taking advantage of the advanced composition capabilities offered in SAP NetWeaver CE, while keeping the central corporate portal in a stable and less frequently updated environment, ensuring a consistent end- user experience.
