react on a transaction with user specific code

70 Views

Hello,

I am new in the field of SAP development and I have some questions about the general strategy.

It's the task to react on a transaction in SAP (an order generated by a user in the SAP system). After the order is done I have to control a Lego train (It's for a university project for education purposes). Therefore it's necessary to call own code.

I searched a little bit in the SAP help and found these possible solutions: BAPI's and RFC or the IDOC-Interface. So my first question: where can I find the BAPI C++ library for download? There is no clue in the help.

And my second question: is there a way to inject own functions e.g. via DLL? When I understand the BAPI/RFC right, than I have to program a stand alone server and SAP system calls the server. So I need a "real standalone, external" program. That's a little bit overhead for my concerns I think. So is there a way to insert a function like a plugin and than to call the function like a trigger?

And a third suggestion was to use a shared folder for data exchange via files. Is this (simple) solution possible? I found nothing during my searches about this.

Thx a lot for your help!

Best regards
