Connect SAP Retail using Java

I am new to SAP Retail, got a task to connect and interact with the SAP Retail system using java in order to retrieve promotion, offer data.

I am looking for ways to do so, either using any Java API or Web services.

Please give me some ideas to achieve this.

There are several possibilities.

  • SAP functions can be easily turned into webservice, in which case you "just" have to call the webservice as you do for any other one.
  • Another possibility is to use the JavaConnector (JCO) provided by SAP. The current version is 3, and really differs from previous version. The connector is available at http://service.sap.com/connectors, but you need a marketplace account (something that the SAP people in your company/customer should be able to provide)

In both case, you will have to work with your SAP Expert(s) / Consultant(s) to get the info on what you have to call, or to develop specific code in the SAP system.

The SAP system is complex to interface to. You need to use a file structure called IDoc.

You can get an idea of the scope of your problem here.
