SAP Assistant

SAP Assistant is a stand-alone executable program that provides an online tool for users to access R/3 objects and RFC (Remote Function Call) information from outside R/3. This tool allows you to perform various tasks related to SAP business objects and RFCs. You can view and search for information on SAP RFC function modules, and on business objects and their BAPIs (Business APIs, the methods of the business objects). You can call RFCs and use them directly online.

BAPI Wizard, another feature of SAP Assistant, enables you to generate either Java or C++ classes, which you can use to create and manipulate SAP business objects using their BAPIs.

System Requirements

To run SAP Assistant on your PC, you must have the following:

  • SAP R/3 release 3.1F or higher

  • SAP DCOM Connector

  • Windows NT 4.0, Windows 95, or Windows 98

You cannot use SAP Assistant to call an RFC that invokes a SAPGUI screen, be it a dialog box or a window. You can determine whether SAP Assistant fails as a result of calling such an RFC by using transaction SE37 in R/3 and checking for a SAPGUI screen.
