You are currently viewing documentation for CompuTec AppEngine 3.0 (.NET 8).
If you are working with older environments, you may need the documentation for CompuTec AppEngine 2.0 based on .NET Framework, which is still supported: https://learn.computec.one/docs/appengine/2.0/.
As CompuTec AppEngine 3.0 introduces a new architecture, all CompuTec components must be updated together to ensure full compatibility.
Please review the CompuTec AppEngine 3.0 documentation before starting your installation or upgrade process.
Introduction to CompuTec AppEngine 3.0
CompuTec AppEngine is a solution for managing and extending SAP-based applications in one place. It helps administrators control plugins and updates, while giving developers a structured way to build and extend SAP Business One functionality.
The goal is simple: reduce complexity in application management and make development more predictable and scalable.
About Framework
CompuTec AppEngine is part of the Computec.Core2 ecosystem. This framework standardizes how extensions are built, deployed, and maintained across SAP UI and SAP web-based business applications.
It focuses on three key areas:
- Consistency: one approach for all extensions
- Scalability: support for growing environments
- Maintainability: easier updates and troubleshooting
As a result, teams spend less time solving infrastructure problems and more time working on business features.
Key Capabilities
The Computec.Core2 Ecosystem brings a suite of powerful features, specifically crafted to simplify and enhance the management and development of SAP applications.
For Administrators
- Central logging: Track activity across all extensions in one place. This makes troubleshooting faster and more reliable.
- Plugin updates and delivery: Manage plugins from a central location and roll out updates in a controlled way. Users always have access to the latest version.
- Licensing management: Control access to applications and features without manual effort.
- Job scheduling and automation: Run background tasks on a schedule or trigger them based on events. This reduces manual work and improves system efficiency.
- Single Sign-On (SSO): Users log in once and access multiple applications without repeated authentication.
For Developers
- Simplified SAP integration: Standard SAP APIs (DI and Service Layer) are abstracted. This reduces boilerplate code and lets you focus on business logic.
- Modern .NET development (.NET 8): Build faster with a clean and efficient development stack.
- Custom APIs: Create custom OData/API controllers with built-in authentication features, supporting a flexible and secure development process.
- Shared business logic: User-defined objects are automatically available in both backend code and API endpoints. This ensures consistency across applications.
- SAP UI5 support: Develop UI5 applications using TypeScript and built-in libraries aligned with modern web standards.
- Modular extensions: Extensions can depend on other extensions. This allows you to reuse functionality and build modular solutions.
Why CompuTec AppEngine?
Using CompuTec AppEngine leads to measurable improvements:
- Less manual administration through centralized management and automation
- Faster issue resolution with unified logging
- Shorter development cycles due to reusable components and simplified APIs
- More consistent solutions across projects
- Easier scaling as your system grows
CompuTec AppEngine provides a structured way to manage and extend SAP Business One capabilities. It helps administrators manage configuration and operations, and developers focus on implementing functionality. This structure improves consistency and maintainability, especially in larger or more complex environments.
