I will be attending the TechEd 2010 in Berlin.

One of the most asked questions is if this feature for searching in Sharepoint and SAP simultaneous is implemented in Duet Enterprise. At this moment this feature is not available.

This is scheduled to be implemented in the future. This will be a great improvement for Sharepoint and SAP.

This will be one of the key benefits for using Duet Enterprise.

When you’re making changes in the Netweaver for de Webservices for connection with Sharepoint, a few changes are needed. When changing parameters in Netweaver for services that are exposed. When you’re activating these services again in Netweaver, a new export is needed. When the Duet addon is installed, the function for making an BDC export is available in Netweaver.

When the export is done. First you have to delete the old BDC settings in Sharepoint. Verify that ALL bdc settings are deleted. Then import the new BDC settings in Sharepoint. This will provide the new and changed parameters which where changed. Everything should work then.

You need to have to add-ons installed for Duet on the SAP as on the Sharepoint enviroment.

I’m currently studing to get the certification for CISSP (Certified Information Systems Security Professional). By going to information evenings every 2 weeks. Between these evenings i’m reading the book to get more familiar with the different aspects about CISSP.

Well what can I say: THIS IS HARD. The book contains over more than 1200 pages of information what has too been learned if you want the pass the exam. Looking realistic , 2010 will not be the year i will be going to do the exam. Proberbly 2011, this will give me some extra time too get more into the different aspects.

But it has already been helpfull. I’m getting more insights in security in projects then before.

So if you’re thinking of starting, than YES go for it

What can i say, we’re very proud

SAP provides a really good backend solution for compagnies, but still can’t get de User Experience working.

Many people with SAP UI experience say that this may be the worst thing about SAP.

But how can we improve this? Looking at the opposite end, Microsoft is the leading User Experience technoloy provider.

Products like Sharepoint Server in combination with Silverlight will give a compagny the User Experience that such a system deservices.

Integration these products is not easy, but working with Microsoft experts on integration (and specially SAP integration) will help implementing these features.

Things like SSO, middleware integration, User Experience, but also Security can be done while integration SAP with Microsoft.

 Example for using SSO will give a compagny and it’s employees a big benefit, only one login one the desktop and no more logon screens on the different portals.

I will be posting more about this subject, so if you’re seeking answers. Don’t hesitate and send me an email.

There is a new beta (beta 2) available of AppFabric.
