Exchanging RFC for API

former_member784016 — Fri, 17 Dec 2021 09:00:13 GMT

Hello,

Is it possible to exchange RFC(BAPI/IDoc) for API(REST/OData/SOAP) by NetWeaver Gateway?

Internet ---RESTful API---> Web Dispatcher ---> Fiori(NetWeaver Gateway #DMZ) ---RFC---> S/4 HANA(#MZ=Local)

#S/4 HANA Onpremise

With SAP Gateway you can wrap RFC into an OData Service. But you have to implement the wrapper. As you mention that you have an S/4HANA System you should first check at https://api.sap.com if there is already a ready to use OData API for your use case.

Hello Gregor,

Thank you for reply.
I resolved.

We have to access with RFC interface to our S/4 HANA System.

Our engineer does not have the skill of API(OData/REST/SOAP) on ABAP Addon(we need).

But I have to provide API(OData/REST/SOAP interface) to the outside.
Internet ---(OData interface)---> SAP Gateway(OData->RFC) ---(RFC interface)---> S/4 HANA System(including ABAP Addon)

I will try to wrap RFC into an OData Service with SAP Gateway.

Thanks
