Integrating non-sap dms with SAP for HE&R

[Former Member]

Hi,

We are looking to integrate our java based document management system to SAP for

Higher Education & Research. We have used web service sin the past for similar projects and also used URL based approach for oracle forms based applications.

Has anyone had similar experience?

Do we need to use SAP NetWeaver Integration broker or are there better/easier ways to do this?

Hello,

simplest way is to connect from your Java application to SAP directly via ICF and send/receive idoc-xml / rfc-xml via HTTP. ICF has standard handlers for converting that to/from Idoc/RFC.

Java Connector (JCo) also is a good option, but I consider ICF easier because you do not need to learn a new API.

Both solutions avoid middleware (like XI, BC).

Hello,

Yes - I've used both sap business connector & seeburger to connect sap to .net (java and c) via xml. It's not too hard to do either - I managed to maintain the SBC myself.

Kind regards
