RESTful Adapter for SAP PO/PI

The rise of cloud computing, software as a service (SaaS), mobile access and new web frameworks has made integration by Web APIs and REST enabled web services popular. These REST Services rely on formats like JSON, XML and Atom Pub and are exposed via resource links and HTTP methods.

Our KaTe RESTful Adapter for SAP PO enables you to leverage and publish such REST Services & APIs with SAP Process Integration to integrate SAP and non-SAP systems or BPMN processes.

The RESTful Adapter now (starting with v 1.0.7) also supports the OpenAPI 2.0 (also known as Swagger 2.0) API description specification

Benefits of the RESTful Adapter

Integration
Integrate any REST Service of cloud / SaaS vendors outside your company.
Web & Mobile Connection
Publish existing SOA Services or integration logic as REST Service for public or in house consumption from lightweight web applications, mobiles or PDA’s.
Simple Programming
Enable BPMN processes to interact smoothly with ‘non typical’ integrations like web links and forms in a managed fashion which is otherwise often done by ‘hand programming’.

So Safe and so Comfortable: Our RESTful Adapter!

This allows you to bridge the new world of Web APIs and existing assets easily with the familiar SAP PI development and configuration tooling instead of hand coding tasks or applying ‘hacks’, resulting in faster implemantation time, better visibility and therefore a lowered TCO.
