Latest Sap Netweaver Version

[Paulette Dzurilla]

TheSAP Product Versions listed in the tables below are supported by support package stacks. Each support package stack has one leading software component version. The support package level of this particular component version is a key part of the stack and a unique identifier for the support package stack level.

is there no corresponding Windows installation file (QlikSap_x64Setup.exe) for the Qlik SAP NetWeaver Connector in version 8.0.3. like for all other versions? In this case, which Server windows version can i use?

I also have the same question: where is the installer for this version? Looking at the documentation, I only see version 8.0.2, which is compatible with the May 2023 version of Qlik Sense. I want to update to February 2024, and I am not sure if, by doing so, the SAP connector will show up as an unknown data connection.

It runs showing " Preview is evaluating" for almost 30 mins and then gives a dump " Datasource.Error: SAP Business Warehouse : Error occured when starting the parser: timeout duing allocate / CPIC-CALL: 'ThSAPCMRCV' "

I installed latest version SAP Net Weaver 7.3 and BW client tools . still I got an error message ("Details: "Access to SAP Business Warehouse requires SAP client tools to be installed, including the latest version of SAP Netweaver RFC. See here for more information: =824666"")

In your scenario, you can get SAP Netweaver library from the SAP Support Portal. Then you can take a look at this article: Microsoft Power BI and SAP BW Data Warehouse Connectivity step by step. You can also take a look at this thread about finding SAP Netweaver library: In my opinion, the best way is to get help from the SAP administrator.

S/4HANA is short for SAP Business Suite 4 HANA. As the fourth version of the SAP Business Suite, it is the latest offering from SAP. It runs only on the HANA database, which is an in-memory database developed and tuned by SAP for faster performance and real-time reporting.

SAP S/4HANA Private Cloud is like having an exclusive cloud space where you host your S/4HANA systems. It's all about control and security, as you get to customize it to fit your needs perfectly. Whether you want to convert your existing SAP ECC or ERP systems to the cloud or start fresh, both options exist. While it may need a bit of investment upfront, it's great for big companies needing their own dedicated resources. Plus, it's ideal for businesses with strict security or compliance needs.

SAP revised the naming convention in 2020. Going forward, On-Premise releases will be named for the year only (YYYY), starting with S/4HANA 2020 in October 2020. Cloud releases will continue with the YYMM naming convention.

SAP will provide Maintenance Revisions for SAP HANA 2.0 SPS05 for a period of five years after RTC. These Revisions after SPS05 are not scheduled but delivered on demand. Bug fixes and security patches are released for every Support Package Stack (SPS) for two years after RTC.

SAP NetWeaver (NW) is the underlying technology layer or software stack that ECC is built on. SAP NW can be used for custom development and integration with other applications and systems and is most commonly build using the ABAP programming language. As of 2019, the most up to date version of NetWeaver is AS ABAP 7.54.

To identify the version that your business is operating, check the SAP_BASIS component version in the system stack info (More > System > Status > SAP System Data > Installed Software Component Versions).

SAP Fiori is the new SAP user interface, which includes a set of apps addressing the most frequently used SAP functions. Functions previously completed in SAP GUI using transactions codes are now composed into user-friendly Fiori apps accessed from a customizable Launchpad.

On the development side, the SAP user interface for HTML 5 (SAPUI5) is a collection of libraries that are used to build desktop and mobile applications. UI5 versions must be considered for Cloud only and On-Premise deployments.

SAPUI5 is switching from a quarterly to a monthly cloud delivery via SAP Business Technology Platform (BTP). This means every four weeks a new version is provided for productive usage and version numbers will increase by one instead of by two. Additionally, every 12th version will become a long-term maintenance version.

On February 4, 2020, SAP announced a new maintenance commitment for SAP S/4HANA and SAP Business Suite 7 (see press release). SAP has committed support for SAP S/4HANA until end of 2040 enabling customers to invest into their future and build the intelligent enterprise.

In addition, SAP helps the installed customer base for a safe transition from existing deployments of SAP Business Suite 7 towards SAP S/4HANA, both Cloud and on-premise. Customers need the full flexibility to plan their digital transformation. Therefore, SAP has added an additional maintenance timeframe for SAP Business Suite 7. Mainstream maintenance will be provided until end of 2027, followed by an optional period of extended maintenance lasting until end of 2030.

SAP has thoroughly discussed together with its customers and partners the need for aligning the other products of the SAP portfolio that are closely related to SAP S/4HANA and SAP Business Suite 7. As a next step to the February announcement, SAP is giving a follow-up product and maintenance strategy update, especially for SAP NetWeaver and SAP BW/4HANA. SAP has decided to align the maintenance strategy of SAP NetWeaver 7.5 with SAP Business Suite 7 for a safe transition to SAP S/4HANA. This means that SAP NetWeaver 7.5 will be supported in mainstream maintenance until end of 2027.

Extended maintenance for SAP NetWeaver 7.5 will be offered until end of 2030 at the same price and conditions like with SAP Business Suite 7. In addition, SAP has decided to fully align the product and innovation strategy for SAP BW/4HANA with SAP S/4HANA. Like SAP S/4HANA, SAP BW/4HANA will be maintained until end of 2040 through a sequence of releases.

SAP Business Suite 7 is based on SAP NetWeaver components such as the Application Server ABAP, Application Server Java and embedded components of the SAP Business Warehouse. SAP NetWeaver therefore serves as a foundation and integration platform for SAP Business Suite 7.

The various SAP NetWeaver usage types (often called the SAP NetWeaver hubs) such as the SAP Enterprise Portal, SAP Business Warehouse and SAP Process Orchestration provide the required integration and interoperability capabilities in terms of people, data and process integration.

The existing on-premise solution landscapes of the installed SAP customer base contain both SAP Business Suite systems and SAP NetWeaver systems that interoperate with each other based on well-defined interoperability rules. The additional maintenance timeframe for SAP Business Suite 7 covers the latest three enhancement packages (EhP 6, 7 and 8 for SAP ERP 6.0 and EhP2, 3 and 4 for SAP CRM 7.0, SAP SRM 7.0 and SAP SCM 7.0).

To provide the most up-to-date SAP NetWeaver release in conjunction with best interoperability to SAP Business Suite 7 SAP fully aligns the maintenance strategy for SAP NetWeaver 7.5 with SAP Business Suite 7. SAP NetWeaver 7.5 is based on the AS ABAP and the AS Java based on the SAP JVM 8 which conforms to the Java 8 standard.

Previous releases of SAP NetWeaver such as 7.4, 7.3, 7.31 and 7.1x will run out of mainstream maintenance end of 2020. These versions are based on Java 6 and therefore are not suited for interoperability with SAP Business Suite 7 within the next decade.

Extended maintenance will not be offered for these versions. SAP will, however, support the Application Server ABAP 7.4 and 7.31 (which is identical to 7.03) to fulfill the maintenance commitment for the ABAP-based parts of SAP Business Suite 7 in addition to Application Server ABAP 7.5.

The SAP NetWeaver stack builds on the foundation of operating systems and databases. Database platforms for SAP NetWeaver and SAP Business Suite 7 run on database platforms of SAP such as SAP HANA, SAP ASE or SAP MaxDB, and on database platforms offered by third party vendors. The valid platform combinations are documented in the Platform Availability Matrix (PAM).

Customers are in a transition from existing SAP NetWeaver and SAP Business Suite landscapes towards the intelligent enterprise powered by SAP S/4HANA, SAP BW/4HANA and SAP Cloud Platform. The existing SAP NetWeaver deployments are centered around the following usage type of SAP NetWeaver: AS ABAP, AS Java, Enterprise Portal, Process Orchestration, Business Warehouse.

The end of mainstream maintenance dates for BW versions 7.4 and older remain unchanged and maintenance for these products will end this year (31.12.2020). Maintenance extensions for embedded BW and stand-alone NetWeaver have also been updated in SAP Note 1648480.

Existing SAP BW 7.5 and SAP BW/4HANA add-ons will provide their own maintenance strategy to be documented in the Product Availability Matrix (PAM). The corresponding communication to SAP customers will be rolled out through the PAM and corresponding SAP notes for each SAP BW 7.5 and SAP BW/4HANA add-on.

In alignment with the announced maintenance extensions above SAP also extends the maintenance of SAP Enterprise Portal: mainstream maintenance for SAP Enterprise Portal 7.5 will continue to the end of 2027, with extended maintenance to 2030.

Note that no functional enhancements are planned anymore for SAP Enterprise Portal on SAP NetWeaver 7.5 (only bug fixes will be available). This is also the case for Knowledge Management as part of SAP Enterprise Portal 7.5. The mainstream maintenance for SAP EP versions 7.4 and older already ended on December 30, 2020.

As a general strategic approach, we recommend planning a transition of your SAP Enterprise Portal use cases to SAP Business Technology Platform (SAP BTP), multi-cloud environment. As SAP puts major investments in SAP Business Technology Platform and customers automatically get the latest innovations.
