What i need to know to call a bapi in sap system using jco?

[andreiiz93]

Hello, i have to integrate a sap system E11. I want to read some data from sap and bringing them into my application using jco and camel. I would like to call some bapi of the sap system. Actually i dont have any information about the SAP system of my company, i have only the ip address of the Application Server, an user and a password. I would like to ask you, what kind of information i need exatly to connect to the sap system with JCO? I ask this in order to be able to ask the right information to my SAP admin. I think i need a RFC destination but i don't know where i can find it. Is it in charge of SAP admin to give me the RFC/BAPI endpoint or what?

What kind of techinal information i need to connect to the SAP server?

Have I other ways to read data from sap system using JCO without bapi? What you suggest?

Any information would be appreciated since i'm really new to SAP systems as u can understand.

Hi Andrea,

I suggest that you check the tutorial included in the downloads and read the documentation available from https://support.sap.com/jco. it will help you to understand more what it means to use JCo. Most of your current questions are very generic and not concrete and therefore tough to answer in detail

A BAPI is a remote enabled function module that follows certain rules, not a separate thing.

Best regards
Markus
