how to create interface from non-SAP portal with SAP system (no SAP portal)

[Former Member]

Hi all,

we have a requirment that our client uses non-SAP portal as a frontend and SQL database as backend and the entire application is developed in ASP.NET...now we need to implement SAP for our client. and the existing SQL database needs to be removed but the frontend needs to be maintained as it is so that client can use his existing functionality....so can you please tell me how we can manage to intergrate the old portal with the SAP database.. is there any way/technology by which the requirement can be fulfilled.

we can not implement SAP portal here...

Thanks...

Hi Sreeni,

The main issue is the 3^rd party application is developed in the ASP.NET technology and we do not have XI/PI component.

Thus we can’t use XML/IDOCs.

Is there any other alternative to it.

If I understand, you want to integrate your .NET Portal with a new SAP System.

One option could be to use Web Services.;Publish the functionality from SAP Systems (RFCs/BAPIs) as Web Services based on SOAP/HTTP protocol..you can then consume them in your .NET application.

Do you have any documents for the process which you mentioned, so that i will go thorugh the documents and will check the feasibility of the option.

Sreeni has shared you a good document, that details how to publish SAP Functionality as web services..Of curse, you should take help of a SAP Technical consultant for this.

Once the web service is published and configured, accessing it from .NET application is a normal business as usual.
