Sap Bw / R3 ?

[my2002lightning]

Anyone here familiar with the BW / R3 ABAP / BAPI transports and how they all communicate?

From what I can tell it's all about listeners and ports, etc. What were those Crazy-SAP-Krauts thinking?:D

I have an opportunity to dive into it and would appreciate any input.

Many thanks,

Ronald

and in English, you meant what?

All you Old-School IBM Big-Iron main-framers are all the same. ;)

It's like how Oracle 10g communicates via tnsnames.ora and odbc.ini files amongst other 10g boxes..

SAP BW/R3 uses the same setup in their saprfc.ini files and how one SunOS 5.8 box "talks" to another.

Fun stuff.

I used to work on SAP R3 in the Warehouse Management portion, but it has been almost 6 years since I did it.

I think they have forums for that stuff somewhere. :) I think you have breached the Off Topic fabric of TALON with this one. :D

I'm just glad you really cleared it up with that jibberish!

Simple answer: SAP sucks dead donkey appendages. That is all you need to know. :d

Be that as it may, consulting rates for the SAP BW/R3, PeopleSoft and Siebel rates with my software-suite are staving off the effects of low-buck off-shoring for us state-side IT guys. :rolleyes:

Wow, Garett. There are internet-based chat boards for other than Lightning related topics? What a novel concept.:D

SAP: straight from Germany, so where's the real money going?
PeopleSoft: I remember this form SMU: talk about a total "Charlie-Foxtrot", they could NEVER get it to work right to save their (PeopleSoft's) necks, to the point where the software crashed hard thanks to the "Y2K Bug". :nono:
Siebel: no idea, but sounds furrin.

My question is: why can't US programmers and IT guys make software here in the good ol' USofA, that works as advertised and keeps Americans employed?? Of course, this was a similar question asked about the SMU/PeopleSoft situation: why couldn't SMU write their OWN software, with all that programming brainpower they ahve over there?? :hammer:
