Creation of a prototype for data export from SAP R/3 HR to Java applications. The two are connected via the Java Connector (Jco) made available as part of SAP NetWeaver. The prototype forms the basis for access by means of Java applications that are to be implemented in the organizational master data system.
Supplement
The prototype is made up of two main components. On the SAP R/3 side, a custom-developed BAPI is implemented; this selects the necessary data from the personnel management system, checks it for completeness and forwards it in the form of a table. A Java application appears as a substitute for the actual organization master data system application; this Java application calls the BAPI via Java Connector and adopts the data from the SAP R/3 system.
Subject description
In the course of redesigning the organizational master data system, as well as introducing voice over IP telephony, daily organizational data is needed for employees from the personnel management system, an SAP R/3 HR system. The interface implemented for data exchange should provide, among other information, the names of the employees and their association to an organizational unit. Together with the data from the organizational master data system, this should form the basis for telephone and address lists. The first step here is to implement a group telephone book for the voice over IP telephone switchboard. The aims of the project include improving internal communication processes and communication options, simplifying management of facilities and locations, and simplifying data storage and maintenance.
