Different ways to integrate java app and r3

[former_member563787]

We have a spring-based java application and want to connect it directly to SAP R3 db. I want to know what options do we have.

Hi,

the best option is not to access the database directly, but to use the SAP Java Connector to access the data via the ABAP application server. Thus, the required authority checks can be done so that only authorized users can access the data they are supposed to access.

Find information under SAP Service Marketplace - Connectors and follow the link to SAP Java Connector. Please note that you need an SUser for accessing the SMP for that link.

Best regards,

Markus

Thanks you!

I will go with SAP Java Connector.

just out of curiosity, how do we access the db directly?

Hi Rohan,

I guess JDBC would be a valid option. But this requires that you know the fitting DB user credentials plus some more things that are not that obvious.

Best regards,
