“For these SAP Business Suite systems, a separate ramp-up started in November 2008 which as part of SAP Business Suite 7 comprises SAP ERP 6.0 EhP4, SAP CRM/SRM/SCM/PLM 7.0, … .
All relevant parts of enhancement package 1 for SAP NetWeaver 7.0 are included in the respective SAP Business Suite 7 ramp-up packages and will be installed automatically underneath the SAP Business Suite systems.”
Advantages of the Switch Framework
Leveraging custom BAdis, switches, enhancement packages, and namespaces
Value Scenarios and Best Run now packages
SAP is going from a back office suite only to a business process library for casual users, and the customers agree
Next Thursday, January 22nd, my colleague Oliver Mayer and myself will host a free webinar on the usage of the ABAP Enhancement Framework. We will actually cover a little bit on the history of all the enhancement technologies in ABAP as well as talk about how the Enhancement Framework is used in the Business Suite Enhancement Packages.
More importantly, we will go beyond past demos and learning materials on the Enhancement Framework. In the past we have mostly seen the source code enhancements or maybe the class pre and post method enhancements. In this session we also want to show you how to get the full power out of the Enhancement Framework for your own applications. We will demonstrate how to implement kernel badis (with filters) and how to attach any enhancement to a switch. We will also look at the process for creating switches, attaching them to business functions and how to activate and deactivate switches.
