Integrating SAP using the SAP IDoc Snaps. (Part 1/4)
I spent more than two decades working for SAP. When Matthew Bowen approached me about helping him understand our SAP Snaps better, we started digging into them immediately. After a while, we both felt it would be a great idea to not only share the knowledge inside Snaplogic but also start a blog series on integrating with SAP and help shed some light not only on the Snaps themselves but also on the SAP side. This article will kick everything off by looking at our SAP IDoc Snaps. The series will start with a general overview of the Snaps and the required prerequisites. We then look at creating IDocs from a Snaplogic pipeline and taking a peek at the processing inside SAP before continuing to show you how to send a status change back to SAP for a given IDoc you received in a pipeline. Finally, we close the series by looking at securing the communication between the SnapLogic GroundPlex and SAP with Secure Network Communication (SNC).
