- 11. Introduction to integration technologies SAP NetWeaver Gateway Session title Confidential / NDA Required 11
- 12. SAP NetWeaver Gateway: Goals ● No SAP knowledge required ● Use of open, non-proprietary technologies ● Language independent ● Embrace mobile and tablet devices ● Data-centric approach Session title SAP Integration with JBoss Technologies Non -confidential 12
- 13. SAP NetWeaver Gateway: Characteristics ● A set of add-ons to existing SAP ABAP stack ● Embraces REST architectural style – – ● HTTP(S) XML or JSON data formats Tools for Eclipse, Visual Studio and Xcode – Find exposed services and generate code Session title SAP Integration with JBoss Technologies Non -confidential 13
- 14. SAP NetWeaver Gateway: Pros and Cons ● Pros – – ● Familiar tools and technologies for Java devs Existing ABAP functions/dialogs can easily be exposed as a Gateway service Cons – NetWeaver Gateway needs to be installed in SAP backend or separately – Creating services in ABAP not trivial for more complex scenarios – Not transactional Session title SAP Integration with JBoss Technologies Non -confidential 14
- 15. SAP Enterprise Services Introduction to integration technologies Session title Confidential / NDA Required 15
- 16. SAP Enterprise Services: Goals ● No SAP knowledge required ● Use of open, non-proprietary technologies ● Language independent ● Process-centric approach Session title SAP Integration with JBoss Technologies Non -confidential 16
- 17. SAP Enterprise Services: Characteristics ● Expose existing ABAP functions as Web Services – – SOAP – ● HTTP(S) XML In SAP ERP, a WS wrapper can be created for existing functions Session title SAP Integration with JBoss Technologies Non -confidential 17
- 18. SAP Enterprise Services: Pros and Cons ● Pros – – Familiar tools and technologies for Java devs – Use WDSL to generate client code – Trivial to create Web Service wrapper in SAP – ● Work well with SOA platforms No additional installs / hardware Cons – SOAP / WS* hell ;-) – Not transactional Session title SAP Integration with JBoss Technologies Non -confidential 18
- 19. Introduction to integration technologies Remote Function Calls Session title Confidential / NDA Required 19
- 20. SAP Remote Function Call (RFC) ● Call ABAP functions in SAP ERP ● SAP Java Connector (JCo) – Java library – Uses the binary SAP RFC protocol, supports ● Connection pooling ● Transactions ● Security ● Process-centric approach ● Does not fit very well into Java EE... Session title SAP Integration with JBoss Technologies Non -confidential 20
- 21. Java EE Connector Architecture (JCA) ● Interaction of Java EE apps with Enterprise Information Systems (EIS) – ● … such as SAP ERP A Resource Adapter – is deployed in a Java EE application server – implements the JCA for a specific EIS ● Defines inbound and outbound connectivity ● Takes care of connections, security, transactions, configuration Session title SAP Integration with JBoss Technologies Non -confidential 21
- 22. Resource Adapters for SAP: Availability ● SAP's own RA only runs on SAP NetWeaver Application Server ;-( ● Open Source alternatives: – Cuckoo Resource Adapter for SAP ● ● – Status: Stable (LGPL) http://sourceforge.net/projects/cuckoo-ra/ JBoss SAP JCA Connector ● ● ● Status: In Development (LGPL) https://github.com/punkhorn/jboss-sap-jca All these use the SAP Java Connector (JCo) under the hood Session title SAP Integration with JBoss Technologies Non -confidential 22
- 23. JCA + JCo: Pros and Cons ● Pros – – No additional installs on SAP backend – Bidirectional communication possible (Java calls SAP, SAP calls Java) – ● Fits well into Java EE world Transactional Cons – Proprietary protocol – JCA Common Client Interface (CCI): overly generic, lots of glue code Session title SAP Integration with JBoss Technologies Non -confidential 23
- 24. Hibersap ● “O/R-Mapper for SAP” ● Mapping of ABAP functions to Java objects – with Java annotations ● Lean API ● On top of JCA Resource Adapter or JCo ● Open Source (LGPL) Session title SAP Integration with JBoss Technologies Non -confidential 24
- 25. Where to go? Session title Confidential / NDA Required 25
- 26. The data-centric approach ● When you expose data from an SAP ERP system to your application – ● Use SAP NetWeaver Gateway The JBoss Data Services Platform with NetWeaver Gateway gives you – … a common way to unify virtualized view of information combined from multiple disparate sources (SAPs, …) – … the ability to enable users and applications to query and manage the integrated data as if it were located in a single database via a single uniform API Session title SAP Integration with JBoss Technologies Non -confidential 26
- 27. The data-centric approach: Example 1 ● ● ● Web app for S&D for use by mobile and desktop devices Search, view, change and create customers and related data Customer data resides in SAP ERP Session title SAP Integration with JBoss Technologies Non -confidential 27
- 28. The data-centric approach: Example 2 ● ● ● Reporting App for an online credit platform Aggregate and virtualize credit request customer's data Customer's data resides in different sources (DB, SAP, Salesforce) Session title SAP Integration with JBoss Technologies Non -confidential 28
- 29. The process-centric approach ● ● When integrating business processes into your Java EE app, consider using Hibersap with JCA This makes sure – ... your data stays consistent in all systems – … you are ready for complex scenarios – … your code remains expressive and maintainable Session title SAP Integration with JBoss Technologies Non -confidential 29
- 30. The process-centric approach: Example ● Hospital Information System ● Java EE application w/ Rich Client ● ● ● Invoices are created in Java EE application Further financial processes take place in SAP ERP Distributed transactions guarantee data consistency in both systems Session title SAP Integration with JBoss Technologies Non -confidential 30
