UI Technologies in SAP NetWeaver

SAP provides a wide set of user interface (UI) technologies for different purposes. The UI frameworks provide capabilities for developing applications tightly integrated into the respective landscapes.

The frameworks and tools available include several that are focused on developing transactional applications, as well as others that help business experts create appealing, state-of-the-art user interfaces without the need for development skills. In the ABAP environment in particular, there are many options available for extending or adapting existing applications on a code-free basis. The user interface clients provide a consolidated access to all of these different applications. They provide structured access through role-based navigation, and a harmonized look and feel across the various underlying UI technologies.
