Setup

Before you can use the SAP ECC Connector in Flowgear, some additional configuration is required.

Install a DropPoint on the SAP Environment

  • The DropPoint must be installed on the same environment where the SAP GUI has been installed.
  • This setup ensures the DropPoint has access to the SAP SDK provided by the GUI.
  • The environment must also have network access to the SAP server.

Once these steps are complete, the SAP ECC Connector will have access to the necessary SAP libraries and will be ready for use within Flowgear.

Dynamic BAPI Consuption

The SAP ECC Connector now supports dynamic BAPI consumption.

Previously, if a specific BAPI was not supported, you needed to report it to Flowgear so it could be added to the connector and a new version released. This is no longer necessary.

With the updated connector, any BAPI is supported.

  • You first need to identify the BAPI using transaction SE37, where you can also view the appropriate fields to pass for the BAPI.
  • These fields must be provided as a JSON document that you construct and pass to the Flowgear node.
  • Please feel free to contact Flowgear for assistance if needed.

The connector will then automatically read and consume that BAPI without requiring any additional development or updates.
