Thanks Rob,

You are right. I don't know Java and when I looked at JCo stuff, I got all confused.
Thnaks for recommending bTalk. I will be talking to them soon.

Hi Mo,

If you don't know Java, working with the JCO stuff is probably going to be painful. I know a few people at Macromedia/Adobe have done it. That said, if you have budget, you might want to look at third party connectors. Here's one that works specifically with ColdFusion that I've read many people have used successfully:

Hi Mo,

There are several ways to do this. One is to use web services if your SAP instance is using NetWeaver and has web services enabled. Baring that, you might want to look at SAP's Java Connector (JCo). It's a set of Java API's that you can connect to (with CF) that allows you to execute SAP RFC's and BAPI's.

Hope that helps...

Thanks Rob,

I was hoping that I could find a step by step instructions on how to Connect the Java APIs with ColdFusion.
I know this process has been done using JSP by someone at our company, but I didn't know how I can coonect to CF.

Any guidance would be much appreciated.
