Connect SAP ERP to SAP Cloud Foundry

1205 Views

Hi all,

We have implemented a custom API (REST Webservice) in SAP Cloud Foundry (SCF) which we want to use from SAP ERP. We already have a connection from SCF to ERP in place via SAP Cloud Connector, but we want to initiate the calls from ERP instead of current pull approach (initiated from SCF) via Cloud Connector.

Our API is protected in an app router and authenticating via User Account and Authentication service (UAA) with SAP ID service as user store.

Is there some guideline on how to connect such an use case in SAP ERP?

I have already tried to create a HTTP RFC destination with username / password, but it looks like that is not working (probably because UAA does not accept basic authentication?). We would also prefer to just use one service user for this instead of onboarding all users that will fetch data from API (if I understand pricing for this, that should be okay since pricing uses metric by API call and no user based metric). Do we just create a S-USER for this or is there some other approach to create a service user with SAP ID service?

Thanks a lot for your advice,

Alej
