The SAP Enterprise Connector 

 

Use

The SAP Enterprise Connector enables you to generate Java proxy classes from RFC function modules in the SAP NetWeaver Developer Studio. This lets you access a wide range of SAP business functions (BAPIs) in your Java applications, using a high-level API. In this way, the generated Java proxies hide the complexity of the relatively generic JCo API. Thus, the generated class names correspond to the names of the RFC function modules and the generated method names to the parameter names of the function module. The advantages of generated proxies over JCo calls are that they offer user-friendly, type-safe access to SAP data.

You launch the Enterprise Connector in the Developer Studio using a wizard. First, you specify the target address for the proxies you want to generate and log on to the required SAP System. After logging on, you need only to select the RFC function module in an integrated browser and finally start the generation process. The proxies are created, either as Java sources in the Developer Studio project you have chosen or as a JAR in a local data directory, based on the target address you entered.
