Importing with the SAP Import Wizard

By using the SAP Import Wizard, you define the web service object you are integrating based on a specified action.

Procedure

1. Select a connector action:

   1. Get — Set up a connector operation associated with a BAPI or RFM.

   2. Send — Set up a connector operation to send IDocs to SAP.

   3. Listen — Set up a connector operation to receive IDocs from SAP.

2. Click the Import button.

3. Choose the runtime and the SAP Connection component that connects to the SAP server instance.

   You must deploy a runtime before browsing the interfaces.

4. Complete one of the following options that corresponds to the connector action selected in step 1.

   1. Select Business Object or BAPI/RFM.

   2. If you selected Business Object, in the Filter field enter the Business Object. This is the Object Name as defined in the Business Object Repository (BOR). You can use wildcards.

      If you use the Business Object option and elect to use a wildcard in the filter, the performance associated with your BAPI retrieval can be impacted as all the released BAPIs for the associated objects is retrieved for preview and available for selection. If it returns multiple objects, you can expand the level associated with each object to view the available BAPIs.
