| ABAP Development Guidelines |
ABAP is a vibrant, evolving language which is almost 30 years old. New developments in ABAP are introduced either through additions to the existing feature set or replacement (and thereby making superfluous or obsolete) of current features while SAP's practice of maintaining strict downward compatibility prevents the total extinction of obsolete features from the language. This issue of superfluity and obsolescence can be troublesome. The ABAP programming guidelines help you to find your way through that jungle of possibilities and to create programs that are correct, robust, readable, maintainable, and up-to-date. |

| Next Generation SSO for SAP Applications with SAML 2.0 |
SAML 2.0 is a security protocol that enables the exchange of user identity information across and within enterprise domains. The deployment of SAML 2.0 in enterprise applications draws parallels to SSO in regards to user productivity enhancements; however, it also holds potential for streamlining utilization of identity management infrastructures and addressing user data privacy issues, associated with user work in separate identity domains. This session takes a closer look at the capabilities of the SAML 2.0 technology in regards to user authentication, enabling enterprise SSO, and identity federation in SAP applications. The session will also feature an overview of the SAML 2.0 capabilities and configuration approach, as planned for support with SAP NetWeaver 7.2. |

Optimize Your Information Infrastructure with
SAP NetWeaver Information Lifecycle Management |
In this lecture we focus on compliance, efficiency, and sustainability. We will show you how you can maximize TCO and legal compliance benefits through an end-to-end information management strategy using SAP NetWeaver Information Lifecycle Management. We will present the two main scenarios: retention management and system decommissioning. Retention management enables you to manage the retention time and location of your SAP data based on policies and rules, and provides e-discovery and legal hold support. System decommissioning is a standardized method for shutting down legacy systems, allowing you to continue to use the data from the decommissioned system in auditing and reporting operations. Learn how our first customers implemented these scenarios and benefited from the experiences of these projects. Find out important tips and tricks for your own information lifecycle management strategy using SAP NetWeaver Information Lifecycle Management. |
