On Oct 20th 2015
next version of SAP NetWeaver – 7.5 a successor of 7.4 was
announced. Main drivers for the 7.5 version are SAP S/4HANA;
SAP Business
Suite EhP 8 for SAP ERP (both on premise editions) and so called SAP
NetWeaver hubs (SAP NetWeaver Identity Management (IdM), SAP Enterprise Portal
(EP), SAP Business Warehouse (BW) and SAP Process Orchestration (PO) ).
From technology point of
view the 7.5 supports Java 8, it includes enhancements for integration with SAP
HANA Cloud Platform, contains innovations in ABAP, and it supports Internet of
Things (IoT), mobile, cloud, big data and analytics.
Of course the NetWeaver 7.5
will soon be followed by other of its components (or hubs) with same version
number. Therefore let’s look in more details to just technology – or so called basis
components of the 7.5. In case ODATA (SAP Gateway) it
supports OData version 4. With regards to HANA
there is obvious trend that continues of pushing code down to the database and
leveraging the information management capabilities of HANA.
Speaking of big data the 7.5 has support for Hadoop and multi tiering. In case
of Fiori performance
optimization is delivered within the 7.5. Lastly within cloud topic there is integration
with SAP HANA
Cloud Platform (HCP) and the 7.5.
Looking closer at ABAP of
the 7.5 the ABAP engine includes programming model via Core Data Services (CDS)
for support for web based communication in real time for IoT use over TCP protocols.
This is built on concept of the ABAP channels (already introduced in 7.4)
Currently
there are following SP of NW 75:
