Introduction to SAP Integration

At times while working with an Adeptia product, you may come across a situation, where you may need to process information available in an IDoc format. For this, you need to use SAP Integration service. Problems like IDoc extraction, migration or synchronization between SAP and other systems can be solved through Adeptia's SAP Integration service. For example, let's say you have a partner who uses SAP as a platform for business, you need to exchange key business information with that partner. Adeptia's SAP Integration service enables you to do so by exchanging IDoc between SAP Server and Adeptia Suite.

Configuring Adeptia Suite for SAP Integration

Adeptia SAP Accelerator uses SAP Java Connector (SAP JCo and SAP IDoc) to communicate with SAP server. If you have a market place account, you can download SAP installation files from http://service.sap.com/connectors. After installing SAP Java connectors, you need to configure Adeptia Suite. To communicate with SAP Server along with trading partners and to process IDocs, Adeptia's SAP Integration service provides several business processes that work together. These business processes use activities to retrieve documents, perform IDoc translations, and send documents. These business processes must be used together in a sequence.

Prerequisites

• Bit version of both JRE and Operating System must be the same.
• Adeptia Suite v6.2 or later must be installed.
