You can use this business function to integrate SAP Jam in SAP ABAP applications. SAP Jam is the social collaboration platform from SAP. For integration, you use the Social Media ABAP Integration Library (SAIL) delivered with this business function.
SAIL is an API library with several features providing the integration with SAP Jam. The features can be used by each SAP application in the ABAP environment. The integration with SAIL is already available in some SAP applications, for example:

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