Connect SAP rules are based on Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP) over HTTP protocols. Connect SAP rules allow Pega 7 applications to work with SAP R/3 (ECC) and NetWeaver systems.

Use Connect-SAP rules in your PRPC application to connect to an existing SAP SOAP web service.

Access

Use the Application Explorer or Designer Studio > Integration > Definitions > Implementations to list the Connect SAP rules in your application.

Select Designer Studio > Integration > Connectors > Connector and Metadata Wizard to start the Connector Accelerator to create a Connect SAP rule.

Use the Records Explorer to list all Connect SAP rules that are available to you.

To create an SAP connector, start the Connector and Metadata accelerator. Identify the URL of the WSDL file that describes the processing and methods of the SAP Web service you want to connect to. See About the Connector and Metadata accelerator.

To debug your application when the external Web service is unavailable or lacks a test environment, you can use a connector simulator. See Creating Connector Simulations.
