SAP BC on MySAP ERP

[Former Member]

Hi,

We have some existing processes that use the SAP Business Connector

Is it possible to continue to use the SAP BC after an upgrade to MySAP ERP?

Hello,

>> So does R/3 sit below MySAP ERP?

mySAP ERP 2005 is a complete solution offering containing several components. One component is "ECC 6.0", the successor of R/3. This ECC 6.0 also contains BAPIs, RFCs etc. and can communicate with SAP BC as the "old" R/3 systems.

>> Does the SAP BC connect to R/3 the same was as it would now...?

Sorry, I don't understand this. BC connects to all ABAP-based SAP components as before.

>> Does SAP XI support bXML i.e. BAPI XML?

It does not support the "BAPI"-view. With XI, instead of "Customer.GetDetail" you would call "BAPI_CUSTOMER_GETDETAIL". Please find further details in this <a href="http://www.sdn.sap.comhttp://www.sdn.sap.comhttp://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/17c5345a-0601-0010-05bc-a35317360dde">SDN Article</a>

Hello,

yes, it is possible, below you can find the official SAP statement regarding BC support:

"SAP note 571530:

SAP BC version 4.7 has been unrestrictedly available since June 2, 2003.

SAP makes SAP BC in versions 4.6 and 4.7 available to existing and new

customers according to the license agreement for the SAP BC. For details

of the agreement, see: http://service.sap.com/connectors.

Because the functionalities offered by SAP BC are or will in the short

term be provided by SAP NetWeaver components (for example, web service

functionality by SAP Web AS, IDoc conversion to an XML message by SAP

XI), no new version will be developed beyond version 4.7.

SAP will continue to provide new service releases (SR), bugfixes etc.

via http://service.sap.com/sbc-download for both versions, 4.6 and 4.7

of SAP BC.

SAP BC runs only on specific operating systems and JDK versions, see SAP

note 309834 about SAP BC implementation for more details. Note that it

is the responsibility of the customer to meet these requirements.

Any further details in regard to this strategy will be announced in this

note."
