Issue/Introduction

TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks Adapter/Plugin-in for SAP has some more advantages than the SAP Web Services.

Environment

All supported platforms.

Resolution

Below are some advantages of TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks Adapter/Plug-in for SAP:

1) From SAP point of view, SAP web services are no longer in the roadmap. Even though the usage of IDocs, RFCs, and BAPIs may seem legacy they are still being used by SAP even in the case of SAP OData services.

2) TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks Adapter/Plug-in for SAP provides connection management, error handling, and schema management. If you plan to do use SAP web services using BW then all of these features would need to be developed manually.

3) Performance is not suitable in the case of SAP web services.
