COMPREHENSIVE GUIDANCE
Best Practices and pre-configured scenarios:
Profit from Best Practices provided in form of documentation and preconfigured scenarios that make setup and maintenance of your system landscape easier New functions in the area of Implementation and Configuration of Business Content automate cumbersome configuration steps and as a result accelerate implementation of business scenarios that require business content Documentation and guides provide the information you require to understand and perform software life-cycle tasks (Master Guides, installation/upgrade guides, SP Stack Guide, target group/role-specific documentation, tool documentation, )

Tool support for landscape planning and visualization:

Thorough planning is the basis for every software life-cycle task, which can be quite complex due to all kind of interdependencies in your landscape Simplify software life-cycle tasks in your landscape:
Software Lifecycle Manager of SAP NetWeaver provides tool support for planning software life-cycle tasks in your landscape and validates your plans SAP NetWeaver 7.0 is the first product version that includes Software Lifecycle Manager from start Data stored in System Landscape Directory is the basis for tool support for landscape planning Automatically and consistently gather and update data of your systems in your landscape (now also for non-ABAP and non-Java systems, such as TREX) By providing the possibility to create system groups and sub-landscapes, you can handle especially large landscapes easier and more efficiently than before

Manage data of your system landscape easier:

EASY IMPLEMENTATION
Simplified installation process with minimized number of manual preparation and installation steps:

Reduces installation and deployment time to a minimum
Prepare Install Configure Post-Installation/ Configuration and System Validation

Start * 30 min 2 h

Prerequisite checker automatically validates minimum technical 2h prerequisites of the installation (RAM, swap space, kernel parameters, 2h 15 min etc.) Standard installation mode with default values 3h Usage-type-specific installation, High Availability (HA) options included Help and handling enhanced (retry, enhanced summary dialog, single master DVD ) SAP NetWeaver Rapid Installer complements SAPinst and offers easy, fast, and wizard-based installation and configuration for specific use cases

Log on to the System

Simplified, accelerated and less error-prone configuration

Configuration Wizard (new with SAP NetWeaver 7.0) is a central, uniform and simple configuration tool Provides automated configuration based on templates for usage types

Faster and Easier Upgrade Procedure:

SAPs Upgrade Technology bases on long years of experience of building robust and fast upgrade routines keeping production system outages to an absolute minimum Reliable and easy to use upgrade process lowers overall risk of your upgrade project Saves investment of all your customer-individual adaptations to SAP standard processes while equipping your business processes with up-to date new functionality

Enhanced Coverage + Improved Procedure for System Copy & Migration:

Systems with any SAP NetWeaver usage type can now be copied Copy with database-specific tools and advanced options integrated in copy procedure Incremental migration offers reduced downtime for very large ABAP systems
