Extracts:
Extract 1 -
SAP’s Business Connector (SAP BC) is a business integration tool to allow SAP
Customers the ability to communicate with other SAP customers or SAP
marketplaces. The Business Connector allows integration with R/3 via open and
non-proprietary technology. This middleware component uses the Internet as
the communication platform and XML/HTML as data format
thus seamlessly integrating different IT architectures with R/3.
Extract
2 - SAP
communication is achieved through Idocs, BAPIs, and RFCs. These documents must
be made compliant with Internet. This conversion is achieved using the Business
Connector. Business Connector converts SAP documents into XML so that they can
be exchanged using Internet protocols.
Extract 3 -
Customizing the Business
Connector is an 8-step process. Step 1 - Start the
Business Connector by calling <BC_dir>/bin/server.bat. If you want to have a
debug output, enter server.bat –debug <debuglevel> –log <filename>. debuglevel
cannot be > 10.
