For those of you who were following our roadmap sessions at teched and other events, you were probably eagerly awaiting this announcement. I am more than happy to tell you that we have finally shipped our own so called REST (Representational State Transfer) adapter with the latest SP of SAP Process Integration / SAP Process Orchestration.
