Quintiq Technical ThoughtWorthSharing
SAP is the leading ERP solution in the world and as a result, the implementation of DELMIA Quintiq quite often involves integration with SAP. This integration can be quite challenging due to the differences between the DELMIA Quintiq and SAP world. To bridge the gap, an initiative has been launched to standardize this integration. A first step in this initiative is the launch of LibSAP for DELMIA Quintiq. LibSAP is a development framework designed for integrating a DELMIA Quintiq solution with SAP. LibSAP supports the following usecases:
- Sending a request to and receiving a response from SAP
- Receiving an Idoc from SAP
- Sending an Idoc to SAP
- Minimize the implementation effort by the use of code generation.
The strong point of the framework is that it does not require any coding nor configuration on SAP side. To communicate with SAP, the framework uses the SAPJco endpoints that are implemented in the DELMIA Quintiq QIntegrator component. LibSAP comes with a standard GUI that allows the user to see the request sent to SAP and received result. It also already implements 10 standard APIs that are most common in the scheduling domain.
The Alpha release of LibSAP Alpha Release can be found here. Please contact me if you any question related to SAP Integration in general or LibSAP in particular.
