Read one of our examples of a successful SAP and Windchill integration
“The integration for this large company was initially based on RFC calls in SAP via TIBCO. Despite this, the company managed to reuse the basic logic in SAP’s RFC function modules when transitioning to API services.
A key factor in their success was the strategy to avoid separate ‘Create’ and ‘Change’ RFCs. Instead, the company chose to implement a ‘Maintain’ RFC, which automatically determines whether an object should be created or changed. This ensured a more robust integration as it eliminated the need for Windchill to always have complete knowledge of whether an object already existed in SAP or not.
Another important factor was that distribution targets in Windchill were set to always send all data, not just the changed data. This resulted in the interface always performing a complete comparison of data in SAP with the entire dataset from Windchill during each transfer, further increasing the robustness and reliability of the integration.
These strategic choices enabled the company to optimize their workflows and achieve significant efficiency improvements.”
