SAP TCP Port Listener setup/configure

[Former Member]

Please see my requirement.

I am looking to setup TCP Port Listeners on SAP to an MQ(message Queue system) to listen on a specided Port conteniuously

Whenever a message comes to MQ system on the specified port, SAP TCP Port Listener should run a shell script or some JAVA code

Will this be possible ? How ?

Thanks,DeeJ

Hi DeeJ,

plain TCP programming is not available in SAP R/3.

One possibility is to install the SAP Business Connector in front of the R/3 system and open the port there, using standard java.net.ServerSocket functionality. When a message from MQ arrives in the Business Connector, you can then forward the data to R/3 using an RFC call, IDoc or HTTP request.

The Business Connector is a light-weight middleware tool that can be downloaded for free from here:

https://service.sap.com/sbc-download

There is also the necessary documentation on the same site.

Is the MQ system IBM MQSeries by any chance? I know that for this queueing system there are already existing Java libs that could easily be plugged into the Business Connector.

Best Regards, Ulrich
