Introduction to SAP Connector

You can use SAP Connector to integrate with SAP systems in batch, asynchronous, or synchronous modes based on your requirements.
Use SAP Connector to read data from or write data to SAP through the Intermediate Documents (IDocs) or BAPI/RFC interface. You can choose an SAP connection type to connect to SAP systems based on the interface requirements.
SAP integrates multiple business applications and solutions, such as Customer Relationship Management (CRM), Advanced Planner and Optimizer (APO), and Bank Analyzer. Developers can add business logic within SAP using Java 2 Enterprise Edition (J2EE) or Advanced Business Application Programming-Fourth Generation (ABAP/4 or ABAP), a language proprietary to SAP.
You can use the SAP connection in mappings and mapping tasks. Create a mapping task to process data based on the data flow logic defined in a mapping or integration template. You can switch mappings to advanced mode to include transformations and functions that enable advanced functionality.
