Netweaver Releases Support Packages Stacks
SAP naming has always been complicated and SAP Netweaver is no exception. There are 2 main releases of SAP Netweaver;
SAP Netweaver 04
This was the first major release of SAP Netweaver, providing a consistent set of the technical applications, receiving support packages in Stacks, tested across all components
SAP Netweaver 7 (Previously called Netweaver 04S)
This was originally planned as a minor release of Netweaver components to deliver all the functionality necessary to support the mySAP Business Suite for that runs on Netweaver 04. Subsequently this version of Netweaver has been confirmed as a full release and is now called SAP Netweaver 7 Traditional Support Packages
In the old component days of SAP, applying support packages was relatively easy. You picked your product, you downloaded the latest patches and applied them. Now with the increasing interconnectedness of SAP Applications, this is no longer feasible in practise.
Support Package Stacks
To ensure consistent patching across a landscape, Support Packages are now released in Stacks. These ensure that the component applications you use (eg mySAP ERP 2004, Enterprise Portal and MDM) are all brought up to a compatible level of support package. SAP supply tools for determine the packages necessary across the components in the application landscape, more information can be found at http://service.sap.com/sp-stacks. These stacks are particularly relevant to landscapes based upon SAP Netweaver 04 and 04s.

WHAT IS SAP?
WHAT IS SAP
SAP was founded in 1972 as Systemanalyse und Programmentwicklung by five former IBM engineers in Mannheim, Germany (Dietmar Hopp, Hasso Plattner, Klaus Tschira, Claus Wellenreuther and Hans-Werner Hector).
The acronym was later changed to stand for Systeme, Anwendungen und Produkte in der Datenverarbeitung ("Systems, Applications And Products in Data Processing"), in 1976 SAP GmbH was founded; the next year its headquarters was moved to Walldorf and since the 2005 annual general meeting the company's official name is just SAP AG. Henning Kagermann became the sole CEO of SAP in 2003.
Reputation
SAP is the largest software company in Europe and the third largest in the world[citation needed]. It ranks after Microsoft and IBM in terms of market capitalization. SAP is also the largest business application and Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) solution and software provider in terms of revenue.
Oracle Corporation, SAP's major competitor in the USA, filed on 22nd March 2007 a case against SAP for malpractice and unfair competition in the Californian courts.
The complaint alleged that a Texas subsidiary, SAP TN (formerly TomorrowNow before purchase by SAP), which provides discount support for legacy Oracle product lines, used the accounts of former Oracle customers to systematically download patches and support documents from Oracle's website and appropriating them for SAP's use.
Some ERP market analysts suggest the suit could be part of a strategy by Oracle to decrease SAP's presence in the software maintenance market, in which Oracle and SAP compete (the latter through its subsidiary TomorrowNow).
Products
SAP's products focus on Enterprise resource planning (ERP), which it helped to pioneer. The company's main product is mySAP ERP. The name of its predecessor, SAP R/3 gives a clue to its functionality: the "R" stands for realtime data processing and the number 3 relates to a 3-tier architecture: database, application server and client (SAPgui). R/2, which ran on a Mainframe architecture, was the first SAP version.
Other major product offerings include Advanced Planner and Optimizer (APO), Business Information Warehouse (BW), Customer Relationship Management (CRM), Supply Chain Management (SCM), Supplier Relationship Management (SRM), Human Resource Management Systems (HRMS), Product Lifecycle Management (PLM), Exchange Infrastructure (XI), Enterprise Portal (EP) and SAP Knowledge Warehouse (KW).
The APO name has been retired and rolled into SCM. The BW name (Business Warehouse) has now been rolled into the SAP NetWeaver BI (Business Intelligence) suite and functions as the reporting module.
The company also offers a new technology platform, named SAP NetWeaver. While its original products are typically used by Fortune 500 companies, SAP is now also actively targeting small and medium sized enterprises (SME) with its SAP Business One and SAP All-in-One.
According to SAP AG[citation needed], there are over 100,800 SAP installations serving more than 38,000 companies. SAP products are used by over 12 million people in more than 120 countries[citation needed].
SAP holds a partnership with Hewlett-Packard. This partnership will expand around new services linked to NetWeaver and Enterprise SOA (service-oriented architecture).
The software infrastructure for business applications developed by SAP is to be upgraded by Hewlett-Packard. One of the services to be upgraded is the Discovery System which was launched by SAP earlier this year. Among other services there are assessment, government and architecture for R3.
