INTEGRATION AND
CONNECTIVITY
Real-time monitoring and Industrial IoT with ABAP Channels
SENSORS /
ABAP PUSH CHANNELS – CONNECTING THE WORLD USER INTERFACE MACHINES
Direct communication with sensors/machines
Push sensor data directly to UIs or to the Cloud
Extended protocol support:
WebSocket
native TCP/IP protocols (AS ABAP 7.50)
MQTT (ABAP Platform 1809) ABAP Push Direct TCP/IP
Channel communication
ABAP MESSAGING CHANNEL – COLLABORATION

Transport sensor data across ABAP sessions ABAP Messaging
User session Channel (pub/sub) User session
Publish sensor data to bound WebSocket connections immediately
Application Application
Server Server
Check out ABAP Connectivity ABAP SYSTEM

Supportability and security for ABAP Channels
TCP log
SUPPORTABILITY
Standard ABAP supportability tools for debugging, runtime analysis
and performance, kernel trace
Transaction SMWS shows active WebSocket, TCP Socket and
MQTT subscriptions on each app server
Supportability tools integrated into SAPC, SMWS transactions
TCP log
SECURITY
SMWS
Virus scan profile for messages, authorization for involved
addresses and domains
Secure communication using SSL (TCPS for TCP Sockets and
WSS for WebSockets)

ABAP Daemons
Always available ABAP sessions to handle real-time events
Implement a daemon application

FEATURES
Daemon session with event handling capabilities
Similar to Windows Services or Linux cron jobs
Long-lived: once started, there is no limit for the lifetime
Robust against errors (E/A/X messages)
Event-driven programming model (ABAP Channels like)
Monitoring & Supportability
USAGE EXAMPLES
Events scheduling Monitor active daemons with SMDAEMON
Tracing & Logging
Health Check, clean up of resources, synchronization
of caches and error handling
Proxy-Session for external communication
Check out ABAP Daemons

WebSocket RFC
RFC IS READY FOR INTERNET USE

WebSocket RFC uses standard HTTP infrastructure: Reverse WebSocket RFC
proxies, HTTP routers, etc. instead of proprietary SAP router
VPN tunneling no longer needed for RFC connections across
business networks
Same CALL FUNCTION statement for RFC over WebSocket and
CPIC
Use new destination type “W” for RFC calls via WebSocket
Security: HTTPS enforced and UCON protection for WebSocket
RFC with dedicated allowlist to make Function Modules
accessible from the internet.
Limitations by WebSocket RFC: RFC callbacks
and calling function modules that open SAP GUI-based user
interfaces not supported
Check out WebSocket RFC

AMQP support
AMQP-based message exchange via a broker
AMQP SUPPORT IN ABAP

API to implement AMQP Clients (AMQP specification 1.0)
Communication
Point-to-point or publish-and-subscribe (via a message broker)
ABAP to ABAP, ABAP to non-ABAP
Based on ABAP Push Channel technology
Connection types: WebSocket and TCP Socket
Event-driven programming model (ABAP Channels like)
APC Security and Supportability
System-internal RFC function module
SYSTEM-INTERNAL RFC FUNCTION MODULES

Develop RFC function modules for purely system-internal use

Integration and connectivity – ABAP Platform 2021 feature scope
HTTP SERVICE
Create and activate an HTTP service based on the ABAP Internet Communication Framework
HTTP Service editor in ABAP Development Tools in Eclipse
OAuth AUTHENTIFICATION FOR SOAP, HTTP

New option in SOAMANAGER to select OAuth as the login method in the logical port
Option in SM59 to refer to an OAuth configuration
SERVICE CONSUMPTION MODEL FOR SOAP AND RFC

Create and consume proxies to trigger operations on remote SOAP and RFC services
Service Consumption Model editor in ABAP Development Tools in Eclipse

SECURITY
Security – ABAP Platform 2021 feature scope
SECURE BY DEFAULT FOR SAP S/4HANA 2021

See the list of new secure by default settings and configurations
LOGGING & AUDITING
