Viewing Application System Objects
After you are connected to SAP ERP, iWay Explorer enables
you to explore and browse business object metadata. For example,
iWay Explorer enables you to view SAP ERP BAPI, RFC, and IDoc metadata
stored in the SAP ERP Business Object repository.
Note: Depending on the release or service pack installed,
certain RFCs may not exist in your particular SAP ERP 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 SAP ERP application environment.
