SAP (Outbound)

A SAP Transport is used to connect to a SAP DI-Server service over the Internet or local network. You can send Files to the remote SAP service. You configure the SAP Transport with the appropriate details for connecting to the remote service and sending any files.

The SAP Transport sends XML files to the DI-Server. The structure of the XML files is defined by XSD schema that you can extract from the DI-Server. The Object Name field and Get Object Schema buttons are used for this purpose. Select the object you require a schema for and click the Get Object Schema button.
