Here you can find links to Installation and Upgrade (choose Downloads), the documentation, and to the Product Availability Matrix (PAM).

The following provides you with an overview of the SAP Gateway components available. You must install the core components. All SAP Gateway 2.0 components are non-modifying components. For more information, see SAP Note 1569624 Information published on SAP site.

  • Core Components

    • SAP NetWeaver 7.0 and 7.01

      • GW_CORE 190

      • IW_FND 240

    • SAP NetWeaver 7.02, 7.03, and 7.31

      • GW_CORE 200

      • IW_FND 250

    • SAP NetWeaver 7.40 and higher

      • SAP_GWFND 740: SAP Gateway Foundation 7.40

        This core component is available as standard in systems based on SAP NetWeaver 7.40 higher and provides the core functional scope comprising IW_FND 250, GW_CORE 200, IW_BEP 200, and IW_HDB 100. Consequently, if you have an SAP NetWeaver 7.40 installation, you can use SAP Gateway without having to install any additional software components.

        Note

        If you have an SAP NetWeaver 7.40 installation and you have previously created services for the Generic Channel that are still in use, you must install the software component IW_FNDGC 100. You only need to install this optional component if you have existing Generic Channel services.

      • SAP NetWeaver 7.50 and higher

        • SAP_GWFND 750: SAP Gateway Foundation 7.50

          This core component is available as standard in systems based on SAP NetWeaver 7.50 higher and provides the core functional scope comprising IW_FND 250, GW_CORE 200, IW_BEP 200, and IW_HDB 100. Consequently, if you have an SAP NetWeaver 7.50 installation, you can use SAP Gateway without having to install any additional software components.

    For more information about the systems in which you can install these core components, see Deployment Options

    For more information about the system prerequisites for these core components see, Installation Prerequisites

  • Business Enablement Provisioning Component

    • SAP NetWeaver 7.0, 7.01, 7.02, 7.03, and 7.31

      • IW_BEP 200

        Enables OData Channel programming paradigm and is required for SAP Gateway Service Builder to build OData services. While this component is, in theory, optional, you require an installation of it in either your SAP Business Suite backend system or your SAP Gateway system if you want to install the content adapter components.

    • SAP NetWeaver 7.40 and higher and SAP NetWeaver 7.50 and higher

      • SAP_GWFND 740: SAP Gateway Foundation 7.40 and SAP_GWFND 750: SAP Gateway Foundation 7.50.

        This core component is included in SAP NetWeaver 7.40 and SAP NetWeaver 7.50 and higher as standard and it contains the full functional scope of IW_BEP 200. Consequently, you do not need to install IW_BEP 200 in systems based on SAP NetWeaver 7.40 and higher or SAP NetWeaver 7.50 and higher.

  • Content Adapter Components

    • IW_HDB 100

      Provides business content adapter for SAP Gateway with SAP HANA that enables OData exposure of SAP HANA views.

      Note

      For systems based on SAP NetWeaver 7.40 and higher and SAP NetWeaver 7.50 and higher, you do not need to install this component since the functional scope is included in the core component SAP_GWFND 740 and SAP_GWFND 750, which is available as standard.

    • IW_SPI 100

      Provides a generic OData adapter for content based on the Service Provider Infrastructure (SPI).

    • IW_PGW 100

      Enables exposure for SAP NetWeaver Business Process Management (BPM) and Process Observer Task exposure for BPM and SAP NetWeaver Business Workflow.

    • IW_GIL 100

      Provides a generic OData adapter for content based on the Generic Interaction Layer (GenIL).

      For more information about the system prerequisites for the content adapter components see, Installation Prerequisites.

    For all SAP NetWeaver releases lower than SAP NetWeaver 7.40, the content adapter components IW_HDB 100, IW_SPI 100, IW_PGW 100, and IW_GIL 100 are dependent on an installation of IW_BEP 200. For SAP NetWeaver 7.40 and higher and SAP NetWeaver 7.50 and higher, the content adapter components IW_SPI 100, IW_PGW 100, and IW_GIL 100 are dependent on an installation of SAP_GWFND 740 or SAP_GWFND 750. The SAP Gateway Foundation component is available as standard in systems based on SAP NetWeaver 7.40 and higher (SAP_GWFND 740) and SAP NetWeaver 7.50 and higher (SAP_GWFND 750).

  • Content Components

    Content is provided in predefined groups. Examples of such content are customer, account, and leave request grouped under CRM (Customer Relationship Management).

    • IW_CBS 200

    For SAP NetWeaver 7.02, 7.03, and 7.31, the content components IW_CNT 200 and IW_CBS 200 are dependent on an installation of IW_FND 250. For SAP NetWeaver 7.40 and higher, the content components IW_CNT 200 and IW_CBS 200 are dependent on an installation of IW_FNDGC 100. For SAP NetWeaver 7.50 and higher, the content components IW_CNT 200 and IW_CBS 200 are dependent on an installation of IW_FNDGC 100.

  • Screen Scraping Component

    • IW_SCS 200

      You must install this component in your SAP Business Suite backend system if you want to create content using the Screen Scraping generator.

These installation packages have a compressed format, so first unpack them into your local file system. Next, import them using the installation tool. For detailed information on unpacking the installation packages, see the SAP NetWeaver documentation about Loading Installation Packages from the Application Server.

To install the SAP Gateway components:

  1. Log on to the SAP system in which you want to install the SAP Gateway components and enter the transaction SAINT.

  2. Import the installation packages. For detailed information on importing the installation packages, see the SAP NetWeaver documentation about Installing and Upgrading Add-ons.
