PowerExchange for SAP NetWeaver Overview

PowerExchange for SAP NetWeaver Overview

SAP NetWeaver is an application platform that integrates multiple business applications and solutions, such as Customer Relationship Management (CRM), Advanced Planner and Optimizer (APO), and Bank Analyzer. Developers can add business logic within SAP NetWeaver using Java 2 Enterprise Edition (J2EE) or Advanced Business Application Programming-Fourth Generation (ABAP/4 or ABAP), a language proprietary to SAP.
You can use the following integration methods to extract data from or load data into SAP systems:
  • You can use the ABAP, Application Link Enabling (ALE), BAPI/RFC functions, data migration, or business content integration methods.
  • You can also extract data from or load data to the SAP Business Information Warehouse.
PowerExchange for SAP NetWeaver and PowerExchange for SAP NetWeaver BW require separate licenses. PowerExchange for SAP NetWeaver includes the license for PowerExchange for SAP Dynamic ABAP Table Extractor.
SAP NetWeaver is the basis for SAP solutions. Because PowerCenter works with the SAP NetWeaver application platform, you can integrate PowerCenter with any SAP industry solution or mySAP application that provides BAPI/RFC or ALE integration methods.
The following figure shows how PowerCenter integrates with SAP NetWeaver:
The SAP system contains ABAP, ALE/IDOC, RFC/BAPI, DMI, and BCI integration components that can work with PowerCenter. PowerCenter has bi-directional connectivity to the SAP Netweaver BI Enterprise Warehouse.
