  • Web Dynpro ABAP including SAP List Viewer for Web Dynpro ABAP

  • Floorplan Manager (FPM)

  • The underlying unified rendering infrastructure called Lightspeed is now also part of SAP_UI.

The following new frameworks are part of this component:

  • User interface development toolkit for HTML5 (SAPUI5)

  • SAP NetWeaver User Interface Services
