Needless to say, security is one of the important factors to make web services ubiquitous both whithin and beyond your enterprise boundries. There exists a myriad of WS security standards either approved or in the works by the standards bodies, and SAP is behind every one of the them (see OASIS Web Services Security (WSS) TC). But their basic goal is to enable applications to exchange SOAP messages securely. Specifically, the standands define security tokens that can be used to authenticate SOAP messages, maintain message integrity and confidentiality. This include Username Token, X.509 Token, Kerberos Token, and etc.

Introduction

The IT senario Enabling Enterprise Services belongs to the IT Practice ESA - Design and Deployment. SAP’s Enabling Enterprise Services IT scenario is a way of packaging the required capabilities, tools, infrastructure, and knowledge that companies require to extend their solutions by providing and integrating enterprise services into their business processes. 

At the heart of every business is a constant drive for growth.Companies can achieve this growth by adopting two fundamental strategies. They can drive top-line growth through innovation to realize a competitive advantage; and they can achieve bottom-line growth through efficiencies and increased productivity.

Using alerts can help us so much with the monitoring of the Exchange Infrastructure.
But why are they so avoided (aren’t they)? It’s true that they can be a little hard to configure at the first place
but if you succeed it can save a lot of your valuable time by telling you only about the events/errors you have to take care of.Alerts within XI give us a simple way to monitor only those errors that we want and send alert messages
to different people depending on the alert category. You can send alert to alert inbox, mail an even on SMS
if your cell phone operator gives you the possibility of sending an sms through a web service.

SDN has very limited information about Mobile Sales Application for Laptops. This was one of the main motivations for starting this WebBlog. My plan is to give more information about the application, the features and simple steps to customize the application. I will also be sharing some tips and tricks. To start off, this article deals with the basics of Mobile Sales Application.

So SAP NetWeaver 2004s is finally out in the open in unrestricted shipment (as of the 6th of June 2006). After a joint Ramp-up with mySAP ERP 2005, we are finally happy to make the software available to everyone. I can assume that you have a lot of questions about this release, and I hope this weblog will be a good introduction to this latest release. Just remember there are SAP NetWeaver 2004s highlight pages on SDN and the official SAP NetWeaver product homepage on the SAP Service Marketplace (http://service.sap.com/netweaver)

One of the major challenges Business Intelligence (BI) customers face today is the integration of different source systems in one Enterprise Data Warehouse landscape. Not only different heterogeneous technical platforms must be interfaced, but also different master and transaction data semantics must be consolidated. In addition, an Enterprise Data Warehouse must provide flexible structures and layers in order to adapt quickly to new business challenges (such as changed objectives, mergers, acquisitions, etc.) Beyond these designtime aspects, Enterprise Data Warehousing should facilitate the administration and monitoring of all processes (such as load processes, distribution of data etc.) and proactively help coping possible performance issues – especially regarding increasingly sophisticated data volume requirements.

Does NetWeaver support WS-security? Does NetWeaver support WS-I Basic Profile? What version of SOAP is supported in NetWeaver? … I’ve already lost track about how many times I have been asked these kind of questions.It has been in my to-do list for a long time to write a blog to provide a complete list of standards supported in various NetWeaver components, so I don’t have to repeat the answers again and again. However, kind of embarrassing, as a standards architect for NetWeaver, I realized that I could not provide a comprehensive list of the standards NetWeaver officially supports or will support. Well, I can tell you what I personally think are already supported or should be supported, but it only counts when product management teams of each component have “officially” verified the compliance status.
