IBM Adapter enables Rapid SAP IntegrationSimplifies integration and eliminates custom coding. Improves reusability IBM WebSphere Adapter supports all flavors of SAP

Interface mechanisms, such as IDoc, BAPI, Table query and RFC Server– Wizard driven approach to discover SAP functions and

generate reusable services in just few steps– Code free interface development (No coding in ABAP or Java)– Supports synchronous and asynchronous interaction– Supports bi-directional interaction and events– Single or Packets of IDoc; Parsed or Unparsed IDocs– Single BAPI or Combine multiple BAPI calls– Well integrated with WebSphere (Message Broker,

WebSphere Process Server/ESB, WAS)

IBM Adapter for SAP - What it takes to develop SAP integration?

– Step 1• Generate Service Component for the identified SAP function (BAPI, RFC, IDoc, Table,

etc). This Service Component can be reused across projects, SOA applications.– This is done using Adapter Service Wizard in IID, no need for any coding in

ABAP or Java.– No need to be highly skilled in SAP, just minimal knowledge of SAP

function name, connection info is enough to complete this step.– Step 2

• Use graphical tool to develop Data mapping to handle data transformation as needed.– Step 3

• Unit test the Service Component using IID Test facility by connecting real-time with SAP dev / test system to validate the Service functions as designed.

– The generated Service is ready for use in any BPM applications across the projects. • Generate once, reuse in any number of applications in different interaction styles, such

as Web service, JMS call or plain old Java call• This can be wired with any other Service Component to form a Composite application
