This blog tries to list all the new features(major) available in Netweaver Portal 7.0.
I was searching SDN to find some blog/article outlining new features in Netweaver Portal 7.0 which doesnt exist in Netweaver Portal 6.0, couldnt find a comprehensive listing.
This delta feature list is based on the release notes (till NW2004S SPS 14 and NW 2004 SPS21) and you will find links to more information availabale in help.sap.com. The feature description is taken from release notes.
For me these are the major changes since Netweaver Portal 6.0, My next blog will list the new changes which I consider as minor.
