Earlier this year SAP came
with their new UI technology called SAP UI5. Wait a moment don't they have
other UI technologies? Right they do have. Let's do some check and list some of
them:
SAPGUI,
NetWeaver Business Client (NWBC), browser-based classic dynpros (HTMLB),
Business Server Pages (BSP), webDynpro for Java and ABAP, SAP CRM web client,
SRM web client, Interactive Forms by Adobe,…
So why new UI? We can look
at SAPUI5 as SAP’s HTML5 controls library. SAP is using it as the standard User
Interface Control library in all their future applications that need a
“consumer grade” User Experience. From technical perspective UI5 is based on
HTML/CSS/Javascript and built on open libraries such as jQuery. SAP basically
took what was available in open source standards like JQuery, HTML5,
JavaScript, CSS and only enhanced it where there was lack of enterprise
functions. UI5 is optimized to consume REST/OData services as exposed by e.g. SAP
HANA, SAP Netweaver Gateway, SAP HANA Cloud Gateway etc.
SAPUI5 is bundled with
SAP NetWeaver Cloud (code name Neo or Project River) which is OnDemand offering
or Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS).
