Searching in SAP NetWeaver Enterprise Search using Microsoft Windows Desktop Search
While the desktop of a user is searched by desktop search applications such as Windows Desktop Search, the data of an enterprise can be searched by SAP NetWeaver Enterprise Search. SAP NetWeaver Enterprise Search provides search capabilities through all connected sources of an enterprise. Since every Search technology comes with it's own UI it would be advantageous if a user could perform a search in all storage areas using just one UI thus avoiding the need of entering the same data into different UI's. Therefore I describe in my blog how one can search SAP NetWeaver Enterprise Search with the Windows Desktop Search frontend using appropriate configuration settings for the Windows Desktop Search client.  Apr. 26, 2007

Exception handling for Web services based on Business APIs (BAPI) using Visual Studio 2005
Using the Web Service Creation Wizard it is possible to create a Web service for every BAPI. Each BAPI returns status information about its execution in a complex parameter named RETURN in its output message. This parameter returns exception messages or success messages to the calling program. When published as a Web service the return parameter can be retrieved from a .NET Web service client. In this article I would like to introduce a set of C# classes that can be used to check the different return parameters of such a Web service for BAPI errors. If the return parameter contains an error messages this error is thrown as a .NET exception. The classes reside in their own namespace and can easily be added to any existing project.  Feb. 7, 2007
