SAP NetWeaver

Main Use Cases and Corresponding Key Areas of SAP NetWeaver

From a top-down point of view, the documentation provides information for the following use cases of SAP NetWeaver:

In order to find information based on specific roles or key areas in the SAP NetWeaver library there are two entry points:

• The role-specific entries Development Information and Administration Information

  This entry is aimed at administrators (technical operations) and developers.

• The key areas of SAP NetWeaver (individual sections, for example, SAP NetWeaver Mobile ).

  This entry is allows to drill down into the documentation for each key area independently. It is aimed at readers who mainly work with one specific key area within SAP NetWeaver.

In addition to these entries, the SAP NetWeaver Security Guide provides an overview of the security-relevant information that applies to SAP NetWeaver.

While these sections focus on the documentation that is specific to a role or to a key area correspondingly, the Function-Oriented View includes all component documentation of SAP NetWeaver.

How to Find the Information You are Looking For

When using the navigation structure, you can drill down to the information you are looking for either from the role-specific entry or from the key area of SAP NetWeaver. Each key area provides documentation specific to a role as far as necessary. As a consequence, the role specific entries link directly to subsections of the key area documentation, or to the function-oriented view if this makes more sense. To summarize, you can look for information in one of the following ways:

• Drill down from a role specific entry to tasks within a key area, and further down to component documentation in the function-oriented view

• Drill down from a key area to component documentation in the function-oriented view

• Navigate to the corresponding component documentation in the function-oriented view directly

• Use the search function

Developers can, for example, drill down to the information they need by starting in section  SAP NetWeaver Library  Development Information . This section links to all of the development-relevant sections of each individual key area, for example, to Developing Composite Applications (where all component documentation for developers that is related to SAP NetWeaver Composition Environment can be found by following corresponding link).
