This IBM® Redpaper™ publication describes how to get started using WebSphere® Adapter for SAP Software with WebSphere Message Broker. These products enable processes and components to be integrated to include the exchange of information with an SAP server, without special coding.

This paper shows how to use an adapter, an application component, to send requests to the SAP server or to receive events from the server. The adapter creates a standard interface to the applications and data on the SAP server so that the developer of the application component does not have to understand the lower level details (the implementation of the application or the data structures) on the SAP server.
