Description

The book gives a comprehensive introduction to SAP's Business Application Programming Interfaces (BAPIs). In the first section, it describes all important terms behind this successful new SAP®-Technology. It then describes a recommendable procedure for introducing and implementing a connection between SAP® R/3® and, for example, Lotus Notes. With the help of a generic customer-order process, the potential for this kind of combination is shown simply and comprehensively. The book is supported by an enclosed CD, which contains Lotus Screencams for better visualisation of this technology.

Report

"Diese 98 DM haben sich mehr als gelohnt! Meine Aufgabe, eine Anwendung unter Lotus Notes zu entwickeln, die sowohl Informationen aus einem R/3-System bereitstellt, als auch Funktionen im SAP-System durchführt, konnte ich alleine mit Hilfe dieses Buches lösen.Ein GEHEIMTIP für alle, die schnell eine Kommunikation zwischen Lotus-Notes und SAP aufbauen müssen und kurze aber prägnante Informationen zu diesem Thema benötigen."
