Looking for com.sap.rfc and com.ibm.sap.bapi Java Libraries

[Former Member]

Hi, I'm looking for com.sap.rfc and com.ibm.sap.bapi libraries for java.

At help.sap.com, chapter

"RFC Java Class Library (BC-FES-AIT) -> Installation and Setup" it's written:

"Locate the R/3 Presentation CD. You install the Java RFC components from this CD as part of the installation of SAP Automation."

At first, there're three of Presentation CDs. Second, is that there's no single installation, I mean,

there're a lot of products, no one named like "SAP Automation".

Does anyone know, what EXACTLY I should run from the CD?

Strange, I found already rfc libraries for a lot of languages, all but Java.

Next, in the "BAPI User Guide CA-BFA) -> Examples of BAPI Calls -> Calling BAPIs from Java" code example

the library com.ibm.sap.bapi is used.

Knows anybody, where to get it?

Hi Buckley,

You can download these libraries from

http://service.sap.com/connectors/

you need OSS ID for that.

Thanks, but I have already been there.

From http://service.sap.com/connectors/ you can download

only native OS RFC libraries which are used, for instance, by JCo.

But there's no trace of RFC Java packages.

Apologies if I misunderstand your problem, but if you simply want to call an RFC from Java then JCo is the answer.

On the other hand if you wish to call a Java app from ABAP, JCo is still the answer.

I believe this is true whether you are connecting to from SAP R/3 to a J2EE Server or to a standalone Java app running on a Windows workstation.

Quote:

"The SAP JCo supports communication with the SAP Server in both directions: inbound calls (Java calls ABAP) and outbound calls (ABAP calls Java)."

It follows that any libraries required for the communication will be shipped with JCo.

I understand SAP Automation to be a mechanism by which ABAP can control Windows applications using OLE (or vice versa).

You could check out http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/35/42e13d82fcfb34e10000000a114084/frameset.htm

There are examples supplied with JCo and the Javadocs are available in SDN.
