Standards-Based Interoperability between SAP NetWeaver
and Microsoft .NET Framework

Summary

This document provides .NET Framework and SAP NetWeaver developers with information about how to set up standards-based Web services communication between Microsoft .NET Framework applications and SAP Application Server ABAP-based consumers and providers.

Interoperability scenarios for setting up reliable and secure end-to-end communication are also described.

This document describes ABAP implementations delivered together with the SAP NetWeaver Application Server and .NET Framework implementations available for download. The purchase order/confirmation service (PO/Confirmation) simulates the request from a purchaser to a supplier to deliver a specified quantity of goods.
