  • To use this business function, the following prerequisites also have to be met:

    • After activating the business function Enable Social Media ABAP Integration 3 (this business function), we recommend deactivating the following business functions (if active) as the new business function also contains all of their features:

      • Enable SAP StreamWork ABAP Integration 1 (BC_SRV_STW_01)

      • Enable SAP StreamWork ABAP Integration 2 (BC_SRV_STW_02)

    • You need access to SAP Jam as SAP Jam integrations with SAP applications require the SAP Jam Enterprise Edition. For more information, contact your account executive.

    • You have made the required settings in Customizing for the application components that you use. For additional information on specific Customizing for this business function, see the following release notes:

      • BC_SRV_STW_03: Business Function Enable Social Media ABAP Integration (New)

      • BC_SRV_STW_03: Social Media ABAP Integration - Compatibility Mode (New)

Features

ABAP Integration with SAP Jam

By switching on the business function, additional Customizing activities are available under   Application Services   Basis Services   Collaboration  . These Customizing settings are the prerequisites for applications using the programming interface of the Social Media ABAP Integration Library (SAIL) for SAP Jam.

ABAP Integration with SAP StreamWork for SAP Jam (Compatibility Mode)

You can also use the ABAP integration with SAP StreamWork for SAP Jam in a compatibility mode. As SAP Jam is the successor platform to SAP StreamWork, you can continue to use SAIL with the new SAP Jam platform. Those applications that already provide the Social Media ABAP Integration with SAP StreamWork will also run with SAP Jam as the platform.

Gateway Notifications

You can send SAP NetWeaver Gateway notifications to a collaboration platform, as SAP Jam also works as a feed aggregator. The additional Customizing enables you to determine for which OData service notifications will be sent.

User Mapping

SAIL needs an e-mail address to link user names between the back end and SAP Jam. You can use the BAdI: E-Mail Addresses for Back-End Users to define the mapping between the back-end user name and the e-mail address (and vice versa).
