Viewing Application System Objects

How to:

After you are connected to mySAP, iWay Explorer enables you to explore and browse business object metadata. For example, iWay Explorer enables you to view mySAP BAPI, RFC, and iDoc metadata stored in the mySAP Business Object repository.

Note: Depending on the release or service pack installed, certain RFCs, for example, RFC_CUSTOMER_GET, may not exist in your particular mySAP system. Therefore, the examples included in this documentation may not be relevant to your system. If this is the case, you should use the examples as a general reference for adapter functionality and choose an RFC that exists within your mySAP application environment.
