I need to connect to SAP Systems via standard BAPI calls. I already installed JCo (sapjco3) and added the .jar to my build path in Eclipse.

But due to the fact that I am rather a beginner regarding network/server programming, I have no idea how to setup a connection between Eclipse and the SAP Systems...can anyone provide a basic solution or some ideas for that?

Thank you and greetings!

I solved the question by myself after having found a good documentation with examples regarding that topic on the SAP homepage. First you need to define a destination, basically setting up your host and all other relevant information for the network connection. You can find it here: http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwes72/helpdata/de/48/5fb9f9b523501ee10000000a421937/content.htm

Then you can test your connection by creating a method that gets attributes of the server you are connecting with. You can find the code here: http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwes72/helpdata/de/48/840186ab5a2722e10000000a42189d/content.htm?frameset=/de/48/874bb4fb0e35e1e10000000a42189c/frameset.htm&current_toc=/de/b4/3f9e64bff38c4f9a19635f57eb4248/plain.htm&node_id=498

The site provides good examples for working with a SAP System in Java.
