Use

In order to use the new functionality found in SAP NetWeaver CE 7.1 and higher you need to migrate your SAP NetWeaver 7.0 Web Dynpro applications to the new architecture.

Note

Complete migration of Web Dynpro Java applications written for SAP NetWeaver 7.0 is not mandatory. In SAP NetWeaver CE 7.1 and higher, source code compatibility of Web Dynpro Java applications exists, but not binary compatibility. This means that the old source code must be imported, re-compiled, and redeployed to the new system. Applications created in or migrated to SAP NetWeaver CE 7.1, 7.2, or 7.3 are binary compatible to newer versions in that list. You can directly deploy an application built for CE 7.1 on a CE 7.3 runtime. However, this does not work in the opposite direction. You cannot deploy an application built for CE 7.2 on a CE 7.1 runtime.

Prerequisites

You have imported the Web Dynpro development components into the SAP NetWeaver Developer Studio.
