About Connect SAP rules
Connect SAP rules support interactions between the Pega Platform and SAP R/3 (ECC) or NetWeaver systems over HTTP. Use Connect-SAP rules in your application to connect to existing SAP Web services and create connectors of SOAP or IDoc types.
The following tabs are available on this form:
Access
Select Designer Studio > Integration > Connectors > Create SAP Integration to create a Connect SAP rule. For more information, see Creating SAP integration.
You can also generate SAP connector rules by selecting Designer Studio > Integration > Connectors > Connector and Metadata Wizard .
Use the Records Explorer to list all Connect SAP rules that are available to you.
Development
For information specific to SAP Connectors, see the PDN article Pega Process Extender for SAP Business Suite.
To create an SAP connector, start the New SAP Integration wizard. Identify the URL of the WSDL file or IDoc XSD document that describes the processing and methods of the SAP Web service you want to connect to.
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.
Where referenced
Connect SAP rules can be referenced in an Integrator shape (
