Hi everyone,
I'm new to SAP and in the last month i've been trying to complete the following scenario:
- Install SAP ERP with HCM
- Create a new Org. structure in HCM
- Create employees and assign them positions in OU structure
- Retrieve the Org. structure data from SAP to be consumed in MS Sharepoint (either by javascript WS calls or C# code)
I've been looking at various options i can use to retrieve the data from SAP, here are the major ones:
- OData service via NW Gateway Service builder
- MBO via Sap Mobile Platform
- OData service via Sap Mobile Platform
- Enterprise web service via SOAManager
I've succesfully completed the desired scenario using OData with NW GW Service builder but the problem is that this approach requires configuration of the OData service on the SAP side. From what i know, going SMP way, a customer Will need to have a runtime SMP server in order for the exposed web services to work?
Is there any way to extract this information from SAP without any additional configuration on the SAP side, if we are only accessing standard BAPIs?
Thank you for your time,
Primož
