Using LiveCycle Data Services ES to invoke ABAP function modules.

[Former Member]

Hello,

I've been doing a little research and here's my scenario:

I want to build a flex application which will invoke an ABAP function module (RFC) for data retrieval.

The only thing I can think to make this possible is to write a Java class which will use JCo for the invocation. This Java class then has to be consumed by the LiveCycle Data Services which will then use AMF (ActionScript Message Format) to pass the data into the flex application.

Has anyone done anything similar or offer any advice?

Closed. Sucessfully integrated BlazeDS into the NetWeaver AS, and Flex apps into portal without CE 7.1 or flash islands.

Hi Mathers,

Could you please let me know as to how you integrated Adobe Livecycle Data services to use your Java classes with Flex applications in Netweaver AS 7.0? If you have any documentation then could you please share the url?

Thanks and Regards,

Hi Sunaina,

A lot of this stuff I've already read. I should've mentioned that I'm not in a CE environment. I'm still in EP 7.0 using NWDS 7.0.18, so I can't really do any of the flash islands stuff.

The other thing is, we don't want to use web services as it doesn't give good performance on data retrieval, especially when we go into 500+ records.

So, bottom line, we have to somehow invoke ABAP rfc, and map the IMPORT/EXPORT parameters into the flex actionscript data.

I've heard it can be done using Adobe LiveCycle DS. But I think I will need an additional middle layer (Java program) to act as a translator between ABAP and FLEX.
