SAP StreamWork is an online collaborative environment that to helps people make better decisions based on shared data, and feedback from colleagues. StreamWork exposes a lot of its functionality to the outside world via REST APIs. This is great, as all environments which support sending HTTP requests can integrate with StreamWork. By doing so, you can easily convert you application into a collaborative application.
So far so good. NetWeaver and ABAP provide some class libraries which allow you to send and receive HTTP requests. So it should be possible to integrate an ABAP system with SAP StreamWork. However, when I talk to ABAP developers they very often tell me that a) they do know ABAP very well but b) they have only very basic knowledge in HTTP and therefore do struggle in making REST calls out of their ABAP coding. They would be very interested in sample coding and a step by step instruction on what they need to do. And - very important - this coding and the sample should also help them in understanding in what is required to master OAuth (which is used by SAP StreamWork REST API Authentication, Authorization, and OAuth).
That's why I have decided to enhance the "Integration API" section of our SDN Wiki space and include some pages on how to integrate with StreamWork out of an ABAP System.
During TechEd 2011 in Bangalore and Madrid we will have sessions which cover the integration of StreamWork out of an ABAP system. The session "PMC223 - Developing Collaborative Solutions with SAP StreamWork" will use ABAP samples to demonstrate how to integrate via the REST API with SAP StreamWork. You don't have to be an ABAP developer to be able to understand the session. The basic concepts and steps are independent of the programming language and it should be simple to translate the ABAP coding into your language of choice.
If you want to know more about StreamWork itself you should attend "PMC113 - Collaborative Decision Making in the Enterprise with SAP StreamWork "
You will find the sessions mentioned above by following the links below:
