Hi Marco, if you have a moment could you elaborate on what issues you encountered with soap web services? Im working on a project which will be using web services, not a SAP integration, however was wondering if your issues were with SAP API or just processing XML in general?

No for the moment the project with this requirement is paused so i didn't investigate more on the solution.

Meanwhile I have started and completed another project where we had to integrate SAP directly with Appian and we used a Soap integration because SAP's people were not able to create a rest API in SAP.

Avoid in any way a soap integration.

Searching the web for SAP PI documentation I found that the supported integration methods are:

FTP/SFTP
JDBC (sql server/my sql/oracle)
Soap/web service calls

Choose between the first 2 and only if you don't have any chance choose the last one

Hi Marco,

You can integrate SAP PI with Appian via two ways :

1) Create a rest API in Appian and provide the url to the SAP PI and integrate there

2) Create a rest API in SAP PI( not sure weather it is possible or not) and integrate API in Appian.
