Portal - UWL vs. SAP Business Workplace

[Mark Pyc]

G'day Sherman,
In my opinion the UWL is still incomplete. I saw the latest version atASUG in April and it's a vast improvement (not sure if it's releasedyet) but it's still lacking. No secondary methods, no advance withdialog and none of the maintenance you mention.
Stick with the workplace if you can at this stage.

Have fun,Mark
