Course Registration Self ServiceA flexible user interface for course registration allows students to manage their course planningand booking via self-service in one place. During course registration, the software checksstudents’ schedules for time conflicts, pre- and co-requisites, or other requirements.
Student Portal RoleA student role including iViews, Pages & Worksets and a service map for the student is available
Academic Work User Interface ChangesAcademic Work of student will be accessible as direct transactions (standard and extendedmaintenance) outside the student file‘Student Search’ in both transactions allows for quick navigation from student to studentIMG task allows for derivation of credit assignmentsAvailable BAdI helps to perform overall validation of all data entered
Appraisal Self-Service ('Online Grading') available as Web Dynpro for ABAP application
Graduation records can be created directly from ‘student view’ (previously only possible in‘program view’)

Attendance Tracking:A Web UI is offered to record absence/attendance of students for each occurrenceof an event.Attendance results can be incorporated into overall appraisals.
Degree Audit EnhancementsReusability of academic work: sub-requirements can be designated as being able toshare academic work with only specific other sub-requirementsSub-requirement evaluation can be prioritizedIncremental academic work assignment: sub-requirements will not use moreacademic work than is necessary
Module booking performance improvementsSwitch to disable capacity check at Module Level (pSwitch to bypass rule checks during waitlist move-up report
SAP Student Lifecycle Management EHP4Student Auditing & Tracking
© SAP 2009 / Page 11
New Prerequisite FrameworkComplex groupings of pre-requisite requirements can be created and combined withBoolean ‘OR’ logic.Significant performance improvement from previous VSR pre-requisite framework
Post Processing FrameworkInstitutions can configure completely automated follow-up processes for certainactions, such as admission, course booking, and grading. Automation of follow-upactivities or the enablement of integration scenarios can take place across systemcomponents that either cannot be supported at all without a correspondingfunctionality or can be otherwise implemented only at a much higher cost for thecustomer.
Fee Calculation enhancementsFee calculation can be done for specific Period Key, rather than date.Booking Statuses can be mapped to other Booking Statuses for pricingConfiguration for credit type (e.g. booked vs. optimal) to use in pricing.

Enterprise Services for Learning Management System integration
BAdI for many-to-many transfer articulation grade/credit distribution
Stored Performance IndicesResults of performance index calculations can be stored persistently, rather thanalways calculated on demand.A Business Intelligence extractor is provided for stored performance indices.
Event Planning BAdiThe delivered BAdi allows customers to implement their own validation rules anddata entry defaults based upon their academic rules in the Event Planning UserInterface
SAP Student Lifecycle Management EHP4Integration & Implementation
© SAP 2009 / Page 13
Blackboard (LMS) – SLCM Integrationat University of Maastricht
Goal of the integration:
Interface will be established between SAP Student Lifecycle Management andBlackboard to transfer data via PI and the Post Processing Framework (PI=ProcessIntegration) to Blackboard’s Learning Management system. The data includes, e.g.,
Relation Modules – Students (ENROLL)Modules (COURSES)Organizational units - Modules (ORG)Users => Students (USERS)
Characteristics of the Integration:At the University of Maastricht the integration will be one way only. Technically, theintegration is possible in both directions.SAP SLCM provides “out of the box” Enterprise Services to establish the connectionbetween SAP SLCM and PI. These XML-files, which include the relevant information, arecreated in SLCM and sent over to PI. Customers can enhance existing services in orderto add customer data.These services are generated each time when there is a data change in SAP SLCM.
Planned Go Live: July 2009

Netweaver Identity Management (IDM) IntegrationSAP Student Lifecycle Management can provide an initial load of student useraccounts to IDMCreation of user accounts in SAP Student Lifecycle Management for studentsautomatically invokes user creation in IDM insteadChanges to Student Master Data (including Business Partner changes) are sent toIDM; relevant changes are determined via BAdI implementationsChanges to student statuses (including admissions and registration) can be sent toIDMDeletion of students and locking of student users in SAP Student LifecycleManagement will update IDMNOTE: Using IDM, Portal users can automatically be created for all student users
Degree Audit EnhancementsThe BSP user interface is replaced by a Guided Activity Framework (Web Dynprofor ABAP application) for better usabilityModule exceptions for subrequirements can be persistently stored

Student File EnhancementsObject Manager has new student search capabilities: Search by Specialization andSearch by Organization UnitDirect navigation from the Academic Work Overview to the Individual Work details(including maintenance) for a module is possibleDirect navigation from the Academic Work Details to the Appraisal Note (includingmaintenance) is possible
Admissions EnhancementsAdmissions Code field can be ‘intelligent’ (i.e. user can only select fixed valuesbased on admissions status, rather than free-form entry)Requirement Profiles for Admissions Audits can be re-generated dynamically via theGUI (primary use case is change of specialization for admissions)

Event Planning EnhancementsRoll-forward of academic offerings can be based upon a selection method ofmodulesEvent Packages can be directly related to Module Groups
Use case 1: grouping of related sections to form a designated ‘LearningCommunity’Use case 2: ability to designate only certain sections of a course as being‘honors’ or ‘distance learning’ (via the Special Course Category modulegroups)
Events without schedules can have multiple instructor assignments (withpercentages)“Eventless Events” can have capacities, (relative) start/end dates

Conclusion and Recommendation
All innovation and development in the BI front-ends is now focused onthe SAP BusinessObjects BI solutions while the BI front-end tools withinSAP NetWeaver will no longer be the strategic direction
SAP will continue to protect your investments in SAP NetWeaver BIfront-end tools (SAP BEx Suite) through SAP’s Enterprise Supportofferings.
However, SAP recommends that customers adopt the new SAPBusinessObjects Intelligence Platform for enhanced and strategic BIneeds
The SAP BusinessObjects Intelligence Platform fully leverages the SAPNetWeaver Business Warehouse (BW) and SAP NetWeaver BWAccelerator meaning there is no reason to disrupt current SAP datawarehouse projects
