How to connect to SAP AS JAVA?

[Former Member]

Hi,

I am developing an JAVA application, which will connect to SAP AS Java dataSource. My environment don't have ABAP installed. So, I believe use of JCo connector is not an option.

Is ther any other connector API jar available to connect to SAP AS JAVA Datasource?

Could anyone please help me with a detail guide to connect to SAP AS Java Datasource using any APIs provided by SAP?

Thanks

You may use the SPML (service provisioning markup language) service to create users remotely in UME.

See service.sap.com/security -> security in detail -> secure user access -> identity management -> SAP Identity Management APIs pdf

I have a SAP NW Portal 731 installed with only Application Server Java stack. No ABAP stack available.

My JAVA application is in a different system but in same network. My JAVA standalone programme need to connect to Netweaver portal and then do the user add or delete operation from that JAVA application.

I have the UMFactory UME APIs with me for User administration but I don't have any API to make connection to SAP AS JAVA.

Thanks

Hi Aligan,

Sorry for delay in response.

I think the better way to deploy that standalone java application on Netweaver only.

Hi,

I came to know that below webservice is available in AS JAVA for UME.

http://<host_name>:<port>/irj/servlet/prt/soap/UMWebService

Can I use this to access user data from UME of AS JAVA?

Which API or method I need to use to create a connection to AS JAVA?

Do I need to do anything more then creating webservice to provide Admin user Name and password for authontication?

Thanks

Hi Aligan,

Thant's correct, you have to develop a service on your EP and then you can change the UME persistence (user creation etc).

Now you can write a J2EE app which will call your service to cater your requirement.

Please go through the below links which will help you to achieve the same

Could you please let me know for any further information.

Hi Hamendra,

Is there any blog available to explain the steps needed to create a service in EP for UME?
