API with SAP ECC6 ?

[former_member60837]

Hello,

I'm new in this topic. I don't know the API. We have the project to connect our SAP en premise with Peopledoc, by API.

I don't know it is possible with our SAP ECC6.

What I need to connect SAP with API ?

Thanks,

Iwona

Hi Iwona,

It depends on what you are trying to do in this situation - are you trying to expose ECC6 API to the other system, or you are trying to have ECC6 consume the API from the other system?

In the world of ECC you can expose the system through SAP Netweaver Gateway - even in ECC6 here are some deployment options available

Hi Iwona

You could connect via RESTFUL API services using a wrapper class

Using BAPis

Using SOAMANAGER

Using Odata

Also refer code here called to send data as a JSON file

The above link also explains the details of what the code does.

See and try it out if it works for you
