Update III: Some speaker changes and an excellent new session added: Understanding how Web Dynpro models use JCo connections  with Chris Whealy from SAP.
Many Web Dynpro applications are built using Adaptive RFC Models to connect to back end SAP systems.  The whole area of model object design is one where bad design decisions can lead to inefficient use of system resources - especially JCo connections into the back end SAP system.  This session aims to clear up the misunderstandings and help people design Web Dynpro applications that consume the minimum number of JCo connections.

Update II: Scripting Language lineup finalized, looks very strong and some presenters updated.

Update: Some presenters and session themes were changed. I especially am looking forward to Gregor Wolf's Connecting Typo3 to R/3 Enterprise via Web Services (see further down) Keep you eye on this post as there are some minor improvements still in the works.

I am still beaming from the great time I had at the SDN Day in Las Vegas. I don't see why we can't repeat that for Amsterdam. First ingredient are excellent sessions from the community and man do we have great sessions. Here is the lineup.

You know already about the 6 hour SAP Discovery System during SDN Day where you get 3 full hands on exercises: 1. Using SAP NetWeaver Visual Composer to create an iView. 2.Using SAP NetWeaver Master Data Management to consolidate master data. 3. Using SAP Interactive Forms by Adobe with enterprise services. Great success in Las Vegas.

SDNers also liked Matthias Zeller and Enrique Duvos doing two hour classroom session introducing Adobe Flex possibilities in an SAP world (Don't forget your laptop). They liked it so much, that they had to repeat the session.

Creating Rich Internet Application UI's using Adobe Flex and SAP ESA
I would like to demonstrate how you can use Adobe Flex Builder to create very compelling and engaging User Interfaces in Flash which connect back to SAP applications using the SAP ESA.

He is not only presenting this very interesting workshop, but he also got Adobe to sponsor part of the event. Which we are endlessly grateful, we were able to afford the excellent band in the Hofbrauhaus that night. So be extra nice to him when you see him 🙂

An alternative approach to E-recruitment with Eddy De Clercq
Due to its specific circumstances and requirements, the implementation of an e-recruitment system at the K.U.Leuven required an alternative, rather than off the shelf, approach. It is clear that things cannot be achieved via a simple form or Word template, the applicant needs to fill in and upload the data together with their CV. The result is a unique project that makes use of various SAP technologies such as SAP Netweaver Portal, Web Application Server Business Pages, Workflow, iXOS, etc. This is not just a ?simple? front-end application to R/3 Recruitment; it takes things a step further encompassing R/3 modules such as Campus Management and Personnel Administration. This session will elaborate on the project?s philosophy with a strong focus on the end result, including a live demo from both the applicant, and the recruiters, point of view. This is a session suitable for both BPX as technical audience.
