Hi support, on https://www.umh.app/solutions/sap-umh we see that UMH can integrate with SAP DM. Howerever until now I was unable to find any documentation, blogs, connectors or best practices around this topic. Is there any form of in depth information available?

There are some use cases with SAP. Not documented in the official documentation. We are looking into this and i hope we can have an answer for you soon or some updated documentation. Are you just testing it out for fun or are you interested in a larger solution?

We want to discover which capabilities comes out of the box from UMH in a SAP DM context. To see if we can position this as a solution with our customers.

Hi👋 , For SAP integration we use a bidirectional HTTP-based approach: Inbound (SAP → UMH): - We expose an http_server endpoint where SAP pushes iDocs via HTTP POST - The iDoc XML is then converted to JSON using a to_json processor - After conversion, we route messages to UNS topics based on the iDoc type (e.g., umh.v1.{enterprise}._sap.{IDOC_TYPE} or other structures based on the usecase) Outbound (UMH → SAP): - We use an http_client to POST data back to SAP - The JSON data is converted back to XML format (iDoc structure) before sending For SAP DM (which uses OData instead of iDocs), you could skip the XML↔JSON conversion step since OData typically uses JSON natively.

oke, clear! Are there any topics on the roadmap to integrate more closely with SAP DM? E.g. standard iDocs will be out of the box integratable
