Hi Bobby,

The SAP Business Connector is a middleware product based on webMethods’ B2B Integration Server. It allows you to integrate with R/3 using open and non proprietary technology. SAP BC uses the Internet as communication platform and XML/HTML as data format. Thus it seamlessly integrates different IT architectures with R/3.

SAP BC allows for full bi-directional communication to and from R/3. On the one hand all SAP functionality accessible using BAPIs and IDocs can be made available to business partners over the Internet as secure XML-based services. On the other hand applications and information running on a remote web site can be instantly invoked by a simple SAP function call thus making the information of the Web available to an R/3 System.

SAP BC provides an XML layer on top of R/3 functionality so that other applications do not need any understanding of R/3 internal data structures or protocols. You can deploy SAP BC to simply but effectively achieve business-to-business integration between trading partners, thereby extending the reach of your SAP infrastructure to customers, partners and suppliers. Examples for applications may include real-time integration between supplier inventories and your SAP System or multi-vendor product, price and availability information and your purchasing application.

For further Information on the same see WHAT IS SAP BC ?

Hi,

Yes it is possible. You need to define routing rule first (BC Admin page) and then use the flow service in developer where you mapping logic exists.

Lets Say you are creating a flow service to chnage text to Idoc,

Step 1 Give Input Text

Step 2 . Browse your routing flow service for that Idoc

step 3 Connect the desired fields.

step4. do whatever you want.
