Netweaver ABAP CE 7.1 EHP1

[Former Member]

Hi,

Is there any installation for ABAP stack CE 7.1 EHP1? It seems like what i found is Java-only stack.

If yes, what are the new features in there?

Hi,

Looks like this is available only for JAVA.

Hi,

I've read that brfPlus is available in NW 7.10 EHP1 for ABAP stack.

Is it equivalent to the NW CE 7.1 EHP1 Java-stack?

If not, what is this NW 7.10 EHP1 ABAP stack?

Hi,

Business Rules Framework plus (BRFplus) is a business rules engine developed in ABAP. BRFplus has been shipped with SAP enhancement package 1 for SAP NetWeaver 7.0. Netweaver CE on other hand is for JAVA Rules.

Please have a look at the below URL for complete description of BRFplus and CE. There a quite a lot of information there and release dates.

Hope you find it useful.

Thanks Nirmal

Hi,

Yes, the brfPlus is delivered with NW 7.0 EHP1, as well as NW 7.1 EHP1, please refer to this blog /people/carsten.ziegler/blog/2008/10/20/important-information-for-using-brfplus .

Can someone kindly elaborate what is NW 7.1 EHP1 and its relationship with CE 7.1 EHP1?

Hi Julius,

Within SAP NetWeaver there is a Usage Type known as AS Java. SAP also produces a standalone Java enviornment as part of NetWeaver for developing composite applications called the Composition Enviornment ([CE|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/nw-ce]). Although both of these enviornments are Java, the Java engines have slightly different focus and contain some differing software elements, as well as some common software elements.

Both AS Java and CE have their own version numbers and release cycles. The version number for AS Java follows the overall version of the NetWeaver stack it is deployed with. That is, AS Java 7.0 is part of NetWeaver 7.0 and the Java in NetWeaver 7.0 is AS Java 7.0. CE also has version 7.0.

There are separate Enhancement Packages for both NetWeaver and CE. Applying EhP1 for NetWeaver will upgrade your AS Java to 7.1 and, if you also have AS ABAP, will upgrade your ABAP to 7.1. Applying EhP1 for CE will upgrade your CE to 7.1.

Hi Matt,

Thanks for the response.

 Applying EhP1 for NetWeaver will upgrade your AS Java to 7.1 and, if you also have AS ABAP, will upgrade your ABAP to 7.1. 

Is there such installation as NW 7.1? What i found in Service Market Place was NW 7.0 EHP1. Or should it called NW 7.01 ?

Applying EhP1 for CE will upgrade your CE to 7.1

All i found was CE 7.1. Applying EHP1 to CE 7.1 will upgrade it to CE 7.11?

Hi Julius,

Thank you for catching my typo!

There is both a 7.0 and 7.1 for NetWeaver, and I left a significant digit out of my response. It is the second digit after the decimal that desingates the EhP level.

NW 7.0 + EhP1 = NW 7.01

NW 7.1 + EhP1 = NW 7.11

CE7.1 + EhP1 = CE 7.11

There is such a thing as NW 7.1. PI 7.1 (which includes ABAP and Java) and CE 7.1 make up the currently released parts of NW 7.1. It is planned to have a fully unified (all usage types) NW 7.2 release.

Best Regards,

Hi,

No CE 7.1 is complete JAVA installation. CE is a BPM tool and an addon sitting over JAVA Application server.

You have different edtions for it. But there is no ABAP version. But you can get it connected to an External ABAP system for other factors like UME.

Thanks Nirmal
