We are currently planning to communicate with a partner who works with SAP. The problem is that our ERP does not offer any connection with SAP, and we will need to extract the necessary information from the IDoc files themselves.
Is there an easy way to do this in .NET? How is a library (free / commercial) that does all the grunt work?
I'm just looking for something like "IDocLibrary.Parse (file)" and it will return me a collection of objects that translate directly to orders, etc. in the IDoc file.
I read about some kind of SAP.NET Connector. Is it capable of doing what I want to do?
edit:
The SAP.NET Connector is not an option. According to http://www.dataxstream.com/2009/07/introduction-to-the-sap-net-connector/
In particular, there is no functionality built into the SAP.Net Connector for parsing various field data from IDocs. It depends on getting the program to know what the IDoc format is, and how to extract data from the IDoc.
