CD206 (Intermediate)	“Pimp mySAP” – Top Five Cool Technical Developments to Impress Your Boss	Here's a list of the Top 5 ubergeek developments that were done using our new SAP NetWeaver platform. 1) Utilized SAP's shared memory functionality to create our own custom "buffer" of data. This allowed us to easily retrieve large amounts of customer and material data for real-time processing, while eliminating the concerns over performance. (Note: I actually came up with this idea while attending an SAP TechEd hands-on session last year in Las Vegas!) 2) We needed to provide programmatic access to real-time SAP NetWeaver Business Intelligence (SAP NetWeaver BI) data within an MVC BSP application to seamlessly display both SAP Customer Relationship Management (SAP CRM) and SAP NetWeaver BI information in one screen. To accomplish this, we generated a Web service using standard SAP functionality now available in SAP NetWeaver which allowed us to remotely execute a regular SAP NetWeaver BI query and consume that data within our MVC BSP application in SAP CRM. 3) Multiple SAP NetWeaver Portal developments were done to eliminate dual administration for portal and back-end system setup. By linking the back-end SAP security role to a portal role or LDAP group, we automated the assignment of portal users to their proper groups. We also made use of SAP NetWeaver Portal's dynamic system alias functionality to dynamically change the back-end system destination based on this automated assignment. 4) We needed an easy way keep the report channels in SAP NetWeaver BI in-sync with the SAP NetWeaver Portal roles, without having to ask the portal administrator to update the portal content each time a new report was created. Therefore, we developed a simple one page BSP which reads the SAP NetWeaver BI report channel and presents this information using an HTMLB Tree – a simple development which saved huge amounts of administration. 5) We have implemented some interesting ABAP/Java pricing user-exits for Internet pricing within mySAPCRM 2005 (uses the VMC). These two BADIs allow customers to pass any amount of additional information into a pricing document for any purpose necessary.

You will understand how the new framework makes the Enhancement Package strategy work and you will learn how you can use this framework to realize modification-free enhancements in your own system.
CD213 (Intermediate)	Using Open Source Frameworks on SAP NetWeaver	Since its introduction in 1999, the Java EE technology has constantly emerged. On the other hand, some other technologies have been introduced following the same programming paradigms or answering the same questions as the Java EE industry standards. These technologies coexist with the standard technologies – and sometimes even impersonate a competition to them – since they provide a real alternative to standard solutions. Some of them have been very well embraced by the community, thus becoming de facto standards – think about Struts or Hibernate. The Employee Management Demo Application or sometimes called the Open Source Demo is a simple demo scenario using solely Open Source products and frameworks and the SAP NetWeaver Application Server as a development and runtime platform. The Open Source Demo application is implemented with Struts and Hibernate. It also consumes a web service hosted on a Tomcat server by using the AXIS API. The application can also send JMS messages to a (possibly remotely hosted) JORAM JMS provider. The key finding of this is that the SAP NetWeaver Application Server is an open platform for integration of Open Source de facto standard Java EE technologies.
