Duet Enterprise Overview

Architecture

Duet Enterprise is built on top of SAP Netweaver and Microsoft Sharepoint Server 2010. Duet Enterprise an add-on on SAP Netwaver and Sharepoint 2010. In most deployments there is 3 system;

• SAP LOB Applications
• SCL (Service Consumption Layer)
• Sharepoint 2010

The most common integrated solution is SAP ERP but with Duet Enterprise platform you can also handle the other solutions on SAP like CRM and one of the benefit of using the Duet Enterprise system  is its standardized interoperability with backend systems.

SCL (Service Consumption Layer) is a framework that connects SAP systems to Sharepoint. Some of the features of SCL are;

• Connects to multiple SAP LOB System
• Aggregates different SAP systems
  • If the data needs aggregation the SCL calls multiple SAP LOB System and aggregates resulting data
• Serves as a proxy for Sharepoint system to access SAP business content and processes

As a component the SCL is an add-on for SAP Netwaver 7.02, ABAP Stack.

On Sharerpoint side Duet Enterprise uses core functionalities of SharePoint Server 2010 Enterprise, especially Business Connectivity Services (BCS) to connect to Web Services that are published on the SCL. Entities exposed through BCS are represented as external content types. The most common user interface type for representing external content types is the external list. SharePoint never copies the SAP data or stores it locally, but always retrieves it on demand from SAP LOB systems via the SCL.

How To: Get SPUser or SPGroup From SPListItem

While using a user or group field with user and group property on a list or content type, you can extract value using this snippet;

SPFieldUserValue userOrGroupValue = null;

if (item[Constants.FieldOlcumSorumlusu] is SPFieldUserValue)
    userOrGroupValue = (SPFieldUserValue)item[Constants.FieldOlcumSorumlusu];
else
{
    SPFieldUserValueCollection spfieldUserValCol = (SPFieldUserValueCollection)item[Constants.FieldOlcumSorumlusu];
    if (spfieldUserValCol.Count > 0)
        userOrGroupValue = spfieldUserValCol[0];
}

if (userOrGroupValue == null) throw new SPException("somw error");

SPUser _user=null;
SPGroup _group=null;
if (userOrGroupValue != null)
{
    // If User value is null it's a Group, if not User
    if (userOrGroupValue.User != null)
    {
        _user = userOrGroupValue.User;
        // TODO user operations
    }
    else
    {
        _group= m_web.Groups[userOrGroupValue.LookupValue];
        // TODO Group operations
    }
}
