How to connect amazon alexa and SAP ECC ?

[Former Member]

Hi,

I have a requirement to connect SAP ECC and Amazon Alexa.

we are using amazon lambda services for Alexa.

In amazon lamda we are using Node.js 6.10. As we found few things to connect to sap ECC system from non sap system.

1. Using sapnwrfc sdk provided by sap for Node.js by using that we can able access RFC function module.

2. Integrating IDOC interface into Amazon API gateway and Amazon Lambda.

I have to know which is more feasible for my scenario or any other possibilities for this requirement.

Any suggestions please

Hi Sriram,

You can start with what homework have you done? What approaches have you considered?

That way this will be a useful conversation, rather than sounding like dumping your assignment here.

Hi Sriram,

IMO, third option or easiest option would be to expose a http REST/Gateway service from your ECC system and consume it within Lambda like you consume any other REST service.

In the First option were you able to connect to SAP from Lambda? If yes, that can be a very useful feature as there are many readuly available RFCs in ECC.
