SAP NetWeaver - Business Programming Java

[Former Member]

Hi.

I am new to SAP and see that NetWeaver has three branches. Can anyone please tell me if I were to follow the <a href="https://websmp204.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/011000358700003123382006">SAP NetWeaver - Business Programming Java</a> branch, what type of work in the SAP environment will I be doing?

it depends which netweaver module you work into...

1. if you are in UI development you can work on WebDynpro development + Enterprise portal , should also know NetWeaver development infrastructure..

you would typically be working in web enabling of your SAP backend and putting all your work under the secure environment of Enterprise portal..

2. If you are in XI, the there is a combination of XI work + Java development (Mappings / Adapter module development + Adapter Development) you can go for..

3. CAF is one area where you can in addition to pt 1. can work on the development of composites...

in almost all cases, you should be well versed with NWDI as a tool to have a source control system + transport mechanism...

Also...fair knowlegde on SAP WebAS as the application server (like WAS / WLS) would always be an added advantage..

Thank you. I will keep this in mind when trying to decide on my course of action. What would be the difference in work area between the <a href="https://websmp204.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/011000358700003123382006">Business Programming ABAP</a> and Business Programming Java? Both of these are branches under NetWeaver
