Hi,
after a long time of engaging with caf I'm certain that it is possible to create xApps with CAF (of course therefor the certification of SAP is nessasary). But my questions now is, if it is possible to create xApps without CAF, too? For example xRPM was release before CAF was available. Moreover I've received a mail of an SAP employee who have written that its possible to realised xApps in ABAP, too. But how? What is the exact defintion of SAP xApps? What are the development tools and qualities of SAP xApps?
Thanks a lot!
Martin
Ok - now you are talking about CAF-GP again, right? I tought the CAF is not nessasary for CAs and xApps!?
Thanks again. It seems that xApp is an very flexible defintion. As a result of your last answer it's no problem to call an classic ABAP Application xApp, as it is in the position to consume web services, too. Right!?
xApps are packaged Composite Applications that are sold separately from mySAP Business Suite and Business One, with their own price tag and release schedule.
xApps are stand-alone, packaged composite applications that deliver innovative, differentiated business processes
Composite Applications are built and deployed on top of the service operations provided by components, combining these service operations with new application logic, user interfaces, and business process orchestration.
Composite Applications are loosely coupled to the components on which they are based, resulting in a new logical application tier which can be deployed and upgraded independently of the component infrastructure
Sure it's possible to create xApps without CAF. Look here for more on certification criteria http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn?rid=/webcontent/uuid/faa25845-0a01-0010-e6a5-d447229c9e8c [original link is broken]
"Usage of SAP composition tools, such as CAF or VC, is not required for this option of composite certification. Therefore, this option serves the purpose of accommodating those ISVs who have already built composites without using SAP's composition tools, and offers them a transition path to start adopting SAP's composition tools"
Thank you for your answer. From my point of view Web Dynpro for ABAP does not support Web- and Enterprise Services and ESA at all. Does this mean, that Web Dynpro for ABAP is not a tool to create xApps?
Kind regards
Martin
