THE CHALLENGE! • Majority of enterprise data is still stored in on-premise applications. • Moving all the legacy applications to cloud is not a viable option. • Concerns around security and legal challenges warrants the need for an on-premise architecture. but…there is a need to expose enterprise data securely with external vendors, cloud & SaaS solutions, as well as API consumers. On-premise applications need to have the capability to integrate outside the enterprise.
IPSEC VPN • Secure “always ON” connection between sites. • Relatively easy to manage and one time setup requirements (in most cases). • If trusted end points then this option suitable. • Additional infrastructure may be required on-premise to manage secure connections. VPC Application A Application C Application BIPSec VPN On-Premise IPSec VPN Key Watchpoint: Security vulnerabilities that exist at the IP layer in the network could be passed to the on- premise network across the IPSec tunnel.
PROXY SERVICES • Reverse proxy exposed over the internet as the single access point which will perform authentication • Routing rules ensure that only predefined systems are given access to • Ability to revoke access on an individual application/partner basis Application A Application C Application B On-Premise Key Watchpoint: Higher effort in maintaining the service due to connection configuration requirements.
MULE ESB ON-PREMISE • All connections routed via on-premise Mule ESB • On-premise Mule application ensures that only predefined systems are given access to • Ability to revoke access on an individual application/partner basis • Allows full abstraction of the legacy applications. Application A Application C Application B On- Premise Key Watchpoint: Higher effort in implementing/maintaining the service on both CloudHub and MuleESB.

ENTERPRISE FUNCTIONS AND INFORMATION. Functions What Business Services Composite Business Services How User Experience • Analyse the AS-IS business process and identify the Enterprise Functions and Data that are to be exposed via an API • Define the data model that should be used while exposing the functions and information from the backend system(s) • Define the functions that will be responsible for interacting with the backend system(s) • Build a layer of abstraction between the backend system(s) and the exposed services by grouping the functions and information that serve a specific process • Build an orchestrated process layer that utilises the defined functions, data and/or services. System Process Source Systems
INTEGRATION OPTIONS WITH SAP NETWEAVER. IDOC – Intermediate Documents. An SAP document format for transferring data within SAP and non- SAP applications. IDoc works with both master data and transactional data. IDoc transfers are asynchronous in nature and they use XML representation. There is an IDoc available to support most of the business processes in SAP, and they are generally well supported across versions. RFC – Remote Function Calls. A standard SAP interface for communication between SAP systems. The RFC calls a function to be executed in a remote system. A function module in SAP can only be accessed from an external system if its remote enabled. BAPI’s – Business Application Programming Interfaces. These are essentially API’s written and supported by SAP to enable integration between SAP modules and between SAP and third-party applications. BAPI interfaces provide access to precise business application data and processes while facilitating external SAP application programming communication. Each BAPI is assigned to an object in the Business Object Repository and underneath it’s a remote function enabled Function Module. ABAP Interfaces – With expertise, developers can write their own custom interfaces using ABAP. This is the most direct option to integrate with SAP when dealing with bespoke requirements. The disadvantage is that SAP doesn’t support these interfaces and they can present a problem at upgrade time. Programs can be developed to consume external SOAP/REST services. SAP NetWeaver – For SAP ECC, NetWeaver is the preferred tool for moving data and triggering actions between SAP modules and third party software. The ABAP Workbench offers an environment where one can develop, configure, publish, find, and call Web services. It enables the SAP Web Application Server to act both as a server and client for Web services.
