Hi

Yes, I think we can run it from ABAP, provided if both are connected with a proper Interface

Try using the function module below:

call function 'RFC_REMOTE_PIPE' destination 'SERVER_EXEC'

exporting

command = w_command

read = 'X'

tables

pipedata = it_ret

exceptions

inv_winsys = 1

no_batch = 2

selection_cancel = 3

selection_error = 4

others = 5

Hi,

You can use CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES->EXECUTE to start an external application from SAP.
