The beta phase for our new SAP Gateway Demo system that was announced by Jonathan Baker in his blog Netweaver Gateway Demo – ES5 now in Beta!  is now over and we can thus announce the availability of our new “production system” ES5.

As Jonathan already wrote we look forward to your feedback and encourage you to use our new system since ES4 will be shutdown in the future.

What’s new?

The new SAP Gateway System is based on SAP NetWeaver 751 and thus comes with several new features as opposed to the predecessor system ES4 which was based on SAP NetWeaver 740.

SAP Fiori Launchpad and SAP Fiori Reference apps

For all users we have configured SAP Fiori Launchpad where you will find four applications that have been deployed.

Demo services for SAP Fiori development

You can use SAP Web IDE to develop SAP Fiori applications on top of the demo services that are provided in the SAP Gateway demo system.

SAP Fiori Sample Applications
