SAP Snap Pack

In this article

Overview

This Snap Pack lets you interact with SAP.

 Use Snaps in this Snap Pack to:

  • Execute the configured SAP business API (BAPI) given input data
  • Read, write, or receive SAP IDoc requests.
  • Listen to incoming RFC calls infinitely, and either generate output documents from the import parameters, or trigger a child Pipeline.

Supported Version

This Snap Pack is tested against SAP version EHP6.

Breaking change for Pipelines using the SAP Snaps with Java Native Library

If you have any existing Pipelines that contain Snaps from the SAP Snap Pack, you must manually upgrade your SAP Java Connector (JCo) Native Library to 3.1.4 version. Learn more: SAP Configurations.
