Making BAPI (RFC) calls to s/4 hana cloud

[former_member31012]

We have an application that pulls a number of SAP tables such as USR01, Agr_1251, etc.. On application is a .net windows service using the SAP .NET Connector 3.0. Is this interface still supported with the cloud versions or is there another method for pulling now the data from these tables?

Hi Brad,

Using the SAP cloud connector you can perform RFC calls from the on-premise system to SAP S/4 HANA Cloud, see the online help for details and the required configuration steps:

Best regards,

Hi, Brad,

With cloud connector , you can call RFC from S4 hana cloud . But the RFC are only limited to some white listed RFC(I think a sap note have listed the related RFC ), not all . But RFC in the future maybe replace with BAPI or ODATA . Sap will provide 1 year for customer to convert RFC based interface to SOAP/ODATA based interface .

You can use JCO NCO or ABAP on OP to call RFC in S4 hana cloud .

Best regards!

Thanks for the response. I have been going through this documentation and have not found exactly what I was looking for. Do you know if the cloud API SDK has a endpoint or method that would allow me to read the usr02 table like RFC READ_TABLE? I will keep search for that answer in the sdk documentation

Hi Brad,

Welcome to the cloud: you can't call RFCs to S/4HANA Cloud. You have to use the public APIs.
I would recommend you or your development team to look into the corresponding SDK.

• SAP API Business Hub
  https://api.sap.com/
• SAP S/4HANA Cloud SDK

I hope this helps.
