Connector for SAP Business Suite - SAP Script Generator

1. Installation

SAP function modules can provide very complex parameters. To prevent errors when generating the script, a script generator is provided with Intrexx. The application, which contains this, can be imported into your portal as usual. You can find the import file sap-business-suite-connector.zip in the installation directory adapter/sap. To be able to use the application, the Connector for SAP Business Suite needs to be installed and configured.

2. SAP RFC script repository

The SAP script generator generates an executable Groovy and Velocity script for Intrexx from the interfaces of SAP function modules. The script requires only minor adjustments (e.g. mapping of parameters). The generated script is stored in an Intrexx data group and is therefore still available even without a connection to the SAP system. Additionally, the SAP documentation of the function module is stored in this data group. Click on SAP RFC script repository on this page.



A new Groovy script can be generated by clicking on New script.



The following entries are required here:

• SAP connection
  Data source of the SAP system
• SAP function module
  You can search for a function module by clicking on Search. If the field is empty, every function module will be listed. For our example, the function module BAPI_SALESORDER_CREATEFROMDAT2 will be used.
• Language
  The language selected, e.g. English, modifies the generated comments and function module documentation. In our example, the language English is used.
• Script type
  Here, select whether the script should be generated in Groovy or Velocity. We will use Groovy in our example.
• Stateful
  
• Login type
  Select the applicable option.
• RETURN param
  BAPI functions usually contain a table parameter (with an export nature) from the structure BAPIRET2. Messages are returned to the caller in this table. If this is recognized or manually provided, special coding will be generated for the messages.
• Use BAPI commit
  The generated script contains the additional call BAPI_TRANSACTION_COMMIT of the function module. This setting is defined in our example.
• Tables: Analyze prefix
  With table parameters, it is not always clear whether these tables are used as import or export parameters. Therefore, code sections are generated for each table which depict the export and import. In some function modules, the nature of the table is denoted with IT_* or ET_*. The flag activates the automatism that superfluous code sections will be left out. This setting is defined in our example.
• Trace off
  The variable g_log will be used in the Groovy Script to write entries to the log file; the log file is available from the main menu Process / Analyze log file in the Processes module. If this setting is deactivated, the use of g_log will be prevented. This setting is defined in our example.

Click on Generate to generate the desired script.



The script will now be shown in the table.
