I need some basic idea for how to integrate SAP Application with my PHP Application. And the client needs to get the employees list from SAP and after calculation send the resultant data against each employee in particular date...

But I have no idea about SAP:

  • What will be the initial requirements and what should I require from the client (SAP user)?
  • How will I communicate with SAP using PHP?

    to be of any help we'd first need to know what SAP application you're talking about. There is a few of them and some are based on completely different frameworks and technologies. – Dirk Trilsbeek Mar 09 '16 at 06:47
  • i just need to know how can we get data from SAP via Web Service , either user will give me a link to add ,update or there is some dependent application which i can get data – Nexgen Technologies LLC Mar 09 '16 at 07:46

    "SAP" is a software company, not a product. Are you talking about SAP ERP or CRM (which are netweaver based), maybe B1 (which is a product based on .Net technology) or even BusinessObjects, which is something different entirely. – Dirk Trilsbeek Mar 09 '16 at 07:48
  • Thank you for information , i am stuck here , my client will give me SAP employee data and i will integrate it in my APP (PHP and MSSQL ) , i just want to know that which technology i used to communicate with SAP ERP environment and share my own APP data with SAP , it may be ERP or CRM. – Nexgen Technologies LLC Mar 09 '16 at 07:53

    well, you need to know what your client means when he talks about "SAP". Because as I said, "SAP" is a company, not a product. It's like asking "how do I connect with Microsoft?". If your client is a big company, you're most likely dealing with SAP ERP or CRM and you would need some RFC client library to connect to the system. There is a RFC client for PHP, but it is really old and probably won't work anymore: http://saprfc.sourceforge.net/. Another option would be web services, but you'd need your client to create them for you first. – Dirk Trilsbeek Mar 09 '16 at 08:09
  • my client told me to do yourself , so i will go for RFC as you told , and i must have ABAP development Skills to develop API for communication – Nexgen Technologies LLC Mar 09 '16 at 08:57
  • you don't need abap skills, but you're going to need help from your clients SAP support team identifying the function modules you need to call and the parameters you need to supply for those function modules. – Dirk Trilsbeek Mar 09 '16 at 09:20

I you're getting data from a (SAP) ECC HR system, ABAP (SAP ECC programming language) function module can be web-enabled by encapsulating them into a web-service. there is a 'simple' button for this. If you're not competent into the ABAP language, then just ask you're customer for the web service informations. This should be a black-box for you.
