Challenge 08 - Azure integration, Logic Apps and EAI
Introduction
At this point we will talk about other methods of streaming and sending data to and from SAP systems using Azure as an integration ‘Broker’.
Description
We can use SAP’s gateway services and Logic Apps to directly call existing code from Azure services in a convenient manner.
Install a new Virtual Machine into your vnet or use an existing already running Windows VM and install the Logic Apps On-premises data gateway instructions here Once installed, connect it back to your logic apps account to authorize it. Create a new Azure Logic App using the request trigger and use the SAP connector to invoke an SAP business process. There is a tutorial on this here)
Success Criteria
- Working logic app invoking an SAP RFC or BAPI module remotely and returning data.
Stretch Goals
- An Integrated application remotely calling the SAP Connector and reading/updating data using an RFC/BAPI
- Insertion of an SAP IDoc via the SAP Connector.
- Protect your logic app with Azure API Management to avoid potentially opening an additional attack vector into your SAP system.
