CAP, BTP and node-rfc example?

[Srdjan]

Hello CAP Community,

node-rfc user is looking for an example of CAP on BTP using node-rfc and Cloud Connector, to exchange data with ABAP on-prem system: https://github.com/SAP/node-rfc/discussions/298

Does anyone have a working example to share?

Thanks,

Srdjan

Unfortunately not, I think the biggest question will be, did anybody successfully deploy the SAP NetWeaver Remote Function Call (RFC) Software Development Kit (SDK) as part of a Node.JS buildpack deployment in the BTP?

Writing the plugin for CAP is easy nowadays.

Using custom buildpacks pre-built binaries can be added, so the SAP NW RFC SDK binaries: https://docs.cloudfoundry.org/buildpacks/custom.html

The question is how to continue from there because RFC cloud connectivity is currently supported via Cloud Connector for Java runtime only.
