There are many ways to communicate with SAP Netweaver Platforms.
A direct access to the database management system should not be done directly.
We have used the old classical RFC interface (librfc32.dll) from SAP. Now we changed to the SAP Netweaver RFC library (sapnwrfc.dll).
All this could be downloaded at the SAP Service Market Place from SAP (service.sap.com), if you have access to it.
It is also possible to do this by using the Enterprise Services (WebServices) provided by SAP Netweaver. In some case we used it, too.

There are many ready methods (BAPI) and remote functions (RFC) to use for data access. What is your special interest on SAP DATA?

Best regards

My client is setting up SAP HR Module and there are some external applications (developed in CTD) that need up to date data that the SAP HR will handle, such as current salary, current position, etc.. We are evaluating reading this info from SAP and storing in the external application database.

Thanks
