APIs from SAP

[Former Member]

Hi All,

We are getting a new third party tool(Middleware) to integrate all non sap systems with SAP.

I would be developing API's to be consumed by middleware to perform all required operations by other non-sap systems.(Eg- Create Customer from salesforce, post meter reads from other systems)

Can you please let me know how can we decide or what criteria needs to be taken care while deciding what needs to be developed in system( eg- BAPI, RFC, ODATA or RESTful)

Thanks for all inputs.

Cheers,

Anju

Your middleware provider needs to answer this question. Criteria is what will work for all the systems involved and what is technically feasible. That's just common sense.

The easiest way to build APIs for the consumption of services on SAP (in my view), is (SOAP) web services.
