Introduction
The ABAP SDK for Azure is a result of several projects within Microsoft-IT. Out of several individual
projects that all wanted to connect from our SAP Systems to Azure a centralized ABAP SDK for Azure
was developed.

After using the SDK for several months internally Microsoft-IT decided to publish the code on GitHub.
We then enhanced the installation process and are currently working with several SAP Mentors and
SAP customer on new ideas.

The goal of the ABAP SDK for Azure is to simplify the consumption of service in Azure from ABAP as
best as possible.

In our scenario we will use the Microsoft Azure Event Hub to push information from SAP to Azure.
Once in Azure we will create a Logic App application that sends this information via Email to a user.
Although this could obviously be done directly from ABAP, the goal here is to introduce different
components and guide you through a full end-to-end process.

You will work with the Azure Portal (http://portal.azure.com) and the SAP Cloud Appliance Library
(http://cal.sap.com ).

Most of the files are available via GitHub. The abapGit can be found at
https://github.com/larshp/abapGit the ABAP SDK for Azure can be found at
https://github.com/Microsoft/ABAP-SDK-for-Azure

All other required files can be found https://aka.ms/sap/abapsdklinks

Activate Azure Pass
In this tutorial you are going to leverage an Microsoft Azure Pass. This pass allows you to use Azure
for one month free of charge for up to $100.
You can also run through this tutorial with your own existing Azure Subscription or get your own
Free Trial Subscription using http://azure.com/free The main difference to using an Azure Pass is
that you will have to enter a credit card information. Please keep in mind that this credit card will
not be charged unless you explicitly change this setting. The credit card information is just used to
make sure that you are a “real person”.

Click OK and wait.

Note: While
waiting for the
deployment,
continue with
step “

Configure Azure Event


Hub”

18
Configure Azure Event Hub
The Azure Event Hub is a Big Data streaming platform and event ingestion service, capable of
receiving and processing millions of events per second. Event Hubs can process and store events,
data, or telemetry produced by distributed software and devices. Data sent to an event hub can be
transformed and stored using any real-time analytics provider or batching/storage adapters.
In our example we will use the Azure Event hub to retrieve a very small number of SAP Flight
Information (based on the famous SAP FLIGHT (SFLIGHT) Model) and process it later on.
For more information on the Azure Event Hub check out https://azure.microsoft.com/en-
us/services/event-hubs/ More information on SFLIGHT can be found here
https://help.sap.com/doc/saphelp_nw70/7.0.31/en-
US/cf/21f304446011d189700000e8322d00/content.htm?no_cache=true
To retrieve information
from SAP you need to
setup an Event Hub in
Azure.

Log on to
http://portal.azure.com
with your Microsoft
User.

Note: The Azure portal


might still be open in
another Browser Tab.

Click on + Create a
resource and enter
Event Hubs (Hit Enter to
start the search)

From the list of results


select Events Hubs from
Microsoft

19
And click on Create

20
Enter details for

<yourname>

Note: Since the name


will also be part of a
URL, make sure it is
unique (e.g. add your
initials)

Pricing tier: Basic


Resource Group:
Click on Create New
and enter:
ABAPSDK_EH-RG
Location: West Europe

Note: Make sure to


write down the Name
(e.g. abasdk-
eh.servicebus.windows
.net). This is the Event
Hub Namespace that
we will user later on.

Click on Create

Once you get a


notification that the
deployment was
successful go to the
resource by clicking on
the provided link
‘ABAPSDK-EH’

Note: If the notification


is gone again, just click
on the bell-symbol to

In the Event Hub


Namespace screen click
on + Event Hub

Enter a Name:
SAPEvents
And click on Create

Note: Note down the


name for the Event Hub
Instance (e.g.
SAPEvents) as well.

22
Once the creation of the
Event Hub is finished,
click on Entities -> Event
Hubs

Click on the sapevents


Event Hub, that you just
created

In the sapevents Event


Hub instance click on

Make sure to note both


of them down.

Note: Since you will


need this information in
SAP later on, copy and
paste the Primary key
values in Notepad

24
Information you should
have in Notepad now

25
Connect to the SAP System using the SAP GUI
Go to the Instance you
just created and click on
Connect

Note: If you do not have


an SAP GUI Installed on
your laptop, please
follow the steps
outlined at the end of
the document to
connect via Remote
Desktop to a Front-End
System.
Select Client 001 and
click on Connect

A link to the SAP-GUI


with the required
connection details is
downloaded. Open it
and click on Accept if
required.

26
Login with user
DEVELOPER and the
Password you had
previously provided

Note: If prompted make


sure that Logon
Language is EN
(otherwise you might
have some wired issues
with abapGit)

Confirm the Copyright


agreement.

Note: Since this is the


startup of the SAP
System for the first
time, it can take a some
time before you see this
screen

Your own SAP System is


now available and ready
to use!

27
28
Setup SSL Trust
Unlike popular browsers an SAP systems does not come with preinstalled root SSL certificates for
security reasons. Administrators have to make a conscious decision and import the SSL certificate
that are required for individual scenarios.
In the following steps you will import SSL certificates from GitHub (required to use the abapGit
program) and Azure (to connect to Azure Event Hub).
In order to access site
from GitHub and later
on from Azure we need
to import SSL
Certificates.

We have downloaded
both Root Certificates
and made them
available for easier
access.

Go to Transaction
STRUST

Note: As before this is


the first time you are
calling this transaction,
so it might take some
time to open up.
Open

http://aka.ms/sap/GitH
ubSSL

to download the GitHub


certificate and

http://aka.ms/sap/Azur
eBusSSL

to download the
necessary Azure Service
Bus Site SSL.

29
In Trust Manager, Click
on the Edit Button, then
double click on SSL
client SSL Client
(Anonymous)
And click on the Import
Certificate button at the
bottom of the screen.

Select the GitHub


Certificate and click on
OK

Click on Allow

30
Click on Add to
Certificate List to add
the GitHub Certificate
to the Certificate List

Note: If the Add to


Certificate List button is
still greyed out, make
sure you are in the Edit
Mode

Repeat the same steps


and import the
remaining certificates:

Azure SSL Certificate

As a result you should


have two certificates in
the Certificate List.

Hit Strg-S to save all


changes.

31
Since GitHub is
abort/rejecting TLSv1.0
handshakes the SAP
systems needs to be
configured accordingly.

Go to transaction
/nRZ10, select the
Profile
NPL_D00_VHCALNPLCI,
Version: 1
Select Extended
maintenance
And click on Change
Click OK on the
Information screen

Click on Parameter to
add a new Parameter to
the profile

Enter the following


Parameter name
ssl/ciphersuites

Parameter value:
135:PFS:HIGH::EC
_P256:EC_HIGH

and click on Copy

Note: This configuration


is outlined in SAP Note
510007 - Setting up SSL
on Application Server
ABAP

32
Go back and Save the
changes.

You should see the new


parameter. Click again
on Create Parameter to
add another parameter

Enter the following


value
Parameter name
ssl/client_ciphe
rsuites

Parameter value:
150:PFS:HIGH::EC
_P256:EC_HIGH

and click on Copy

33
Again go back and save
the changes.

You should now see


both new parameters in
the list.
Click on Back

Note: Check again your


entries for typos!

Click on Yes to save the


changes.

Save (Strg-S) the


changes and Activate
(F6) the profile

34
Note: If you get error
message, just ignore
them and continue the
activation.

Note: You can click on


Yes to activate the
profile.

As a result you should


get an information that
the Profile was saved
and activated.

Note: Please make sure


that the profile is also
activated and not only
saved.
In order to use this
newly activated profile,
you have to restart the
application server.

Click on OK

Just keep this page as is


and continue with the
next step.

35
For this go back to the
SAP Cloud Appliance
Library, select your
Instance, if required
click on the three dots
and click on Reboot

Click on OK to gracefully
shutdown the SAP
system and restart it.

After a few minutes (5


or so) you should be
able to connect to the
SAP system again.

Just try to connect to


the System via SAP GUI
a few times 😊

Note: When
reconnecting just make
sure to select Client 001
again!

36
Install abapGit
abapGit is a git client for ABAP. It dramatically simplifies the way how you can work with custom
developments and version control via Git in your SAP system. At the same time abapGit also
makes it extremely easy to import other applications into your ABAP system.
More details about abapGit can be found at http://docs.abapgit.org/
Download the latest
version of abapGit from
http://aka.ms/sap/abap
git

You can also just Copy


all (Strg-A) to the
Clipboard (Strg-C)

Note: The official site


can be reached via
https://github.com/lars
hp/abapGit

Go the Transaction
/nSE38
Enter the program
name zabapgit and click
on Create

Enter the developer


Key
1222284524318103464

And click on Continue

Note: You can also get


the Developer key from
the official CAL
documentation for this
solution at
https://caldocs.hana.on
demand.com/caldocs/h
37

program.
The status should
change to Active.

Note: Activation takes a


few minutes.

The resulting screen


should also show Status
as Active

39
Install ABAP SDK for Azure
The ABAP SDK for Azure simplifies the way how ABAP developers can work and consume services
from Azure. RFC destinations, configurations and security settings are consolidated to help
organizations track and monitor traffic between their SAP systems and Azure.
More information about the ABAP SDK for Azure can be found at
https://github.com/Microsoft/ABAP-SDK-for-Azure
If required go back to
transaction /nSE38 and
enter zabapgit as the
program name.

Hit F8 to run the


program.

In abapGit click on +
Online to retrieve ABAP
code from GitHub

Enter the Git clone URL


https://github.com/hob
ru/ABAP-SDK-for-Azure

and click on Create


Note: We are using here a fork of the official ABAP SDK for Azure which Package
you can find here:
https://github.com/Microsoft/ABAP-SDK-for-Azure
The reason is that currently the ABAP SDK for Azure has dedicated
security authorizations which currently require to also install the
abapGit-Pluings extenion. This can be easily installed, once the
developer edition from abapGit is installed. Installing and activating this
new version takes additional time, which we skip in this Hackathon.
Officially you would do the following steps:
- Install abapGit as outlined before
40
- Use abapGIt to install the latest developer version of abapGit
from https://github.com/larshp/abapGit
- Use the new abapGit to install abapGit-Plugins from
https://github.com/larshp/abapGit-Plugins
- Use abapGit to install the ABAP SDK for Azure as outlined here,
but from the official repository
https://github.com/Microsoft/ABAP-SDK-for-Azure
For more information see https://github.com/Microsoft/ABAP-SDK-for-
Azure/issues/16
Enter the
Package name
$ABAPSDK
Short Description: ABAP
SDK for Azure
And
Software Component:
LOCAL

Then click OK
Back at the New online
Project screen, click OK
again

The ABAP SDK for Azure


is fetched.

Note: This may take a


few seconds to show
this screen.

Click on Pull to
download all required
files.

41
If you are prompted to
Overwrite, select your
Object Name and click
on OK

When prompted to
create Objects, click on
Local Object

In the list of Inactive


Objects click on
Continue

Note: Activating and


Compiling all artifacts
will take a few minutes.

42
Click on OK to run the
final check and activate
all objects.

In the final step you


should see
ZREST_SCREEN 0100
was activated.

Now ABAP SDK for


Azure is installed on
your system.

43
Configure RFC Destination and ABAP SDK for Azure
The ABAP SDK for Azure uses a set of RFC destination for each Azure Service. This simplifies the
management and tracing of ABAP calls to Azure.
In addition a set of customizing tables determine what scenarios from Azure are exposed to your
SAP System and how they can be used.

In order for the ABAP


SDK to connect to Azure
an RFC destination is
required.
Go to Transaction
/nSM59
And click on Create

Enter the RFC


Destination as
ABAPSDK-to-EventHub
and Connection Type G

Then hit Enter

Click on OK in the
Information dialog.

In the warning screen


hit enter to continue

44
Enter the Target Host as
full namespace URL that
you wrote down in
Notepad, e.g. abapsdk-
eh.servicebus.windows.
net
The Port is 443
And the Path Prefix is
/<Event Hub
Instance>/messages,
e.g.
/sapevents/messages
Click on Logon & Secur

Note: If you get a


warning, just hit Enter

On the Logon & Secur


tab, Activate SSL
When prompted click
on Yes

Since we imported the


Azure Certificate in the
Anonymous Store in
STRUST, select
ANONYM SSL Client
(Anonymous) from the
drop down for SSL
Certificates
45
Click on Save and click
on Connect Test to
verify the URL and
Security settings

In the Enter Logon Data


dialog click on Cancel.
Note: Authentication
will be done using the
Key we retrieved
before.

As a result you should


see something like this

Note: HTTP Response


401 is perfectly fine
right now. The test was
just to make sure that
the SSL configuration is
correct.

46
In the next step you
need to configure the
ABAP SDK.
Go to transaction
/nSM30,
enter the Table name
ZREST_CONFIG

Create Demo Data to send to Azure
The SAP Flight Model (SFLIGHT) is probably the most known SAP Demo Data scenario in an SAP
System and has been around for a long time. Reflecting an airline scenario, airlines, flight numbers,
and other data is used to explain concepts of SAP.
Now the ABAP SDK is
configured and you can
send data from SAP to
the Event Hub on Azure.

In this demo we will use


the SLIGHT program.

Since this is a new


system you need to
generate SLIGHT
information. Go to
transaction /nSE38 and
run the program
SAPBC_DATA_GENERAT
OR
By hitting F8
In the Create Data for
Flight Data Model
program click on
Execute to run the
program

When prompted to
delete old tables, click
on Yes

52
Send Message from SAP System
The ZADF_DEMO_AZURE_EVENTHUB program is a simple report that shows how easy it is to use
the ABAP SDK for Azure to send data from SAP to the Azure Event Hub. Sample data from SLIGHT
is sent to Azure.
The intention of this program is just to showcase one usecase and is certainly not intended for
productive use!
In order to send data
from SAP to the Event
Hub on Azure you can
run a demo program
ZADF_DEMO_AZURE_E
VENTHUB.

Go to transaction
/nSE38, enter the
program name
ZADF_DEMO_AZURE_E
VENTHUB and click on
Change

Change the value of


DEMO_EHUB in line 10
to the name of the
Event Hub Instance, e.g.
HACK-EH

53
Scroll down to line 37
and change the number
of ROWs from 10 to 2

Then save and activate


the program.

Note: For your demo it


is good enough to send
two entries to Azure.

Once the program is


saved and activated,
run the program.

Note: Feel free to build


on this example and
create your very own
implementation!

As a result you should


get a message that SAP
data was sent to Azure!

In the Azure Portal, in


the Overview page of
the Event Hub you
should now see one
message.

54
Monitoring in SAP System
You can also monitor and trace the calls that were done directly from the SAP System. The ABAP
SDK Monitor (ZREST_UTIL) allows you to view the history of all the messages that were posted to
Azure Services. This allows you to troubleshoot and re-process messages if required.
From the SAP GUI open
Transaction ZREST_UTIL

Enter the Interface ID


HECK-EH
And click on Execute
(F8)

You should see a list of


Transactions

When you select a line


and click on Headers
you can see additional
information.

55
Create Logic App to React on new Events
Azure Logic Apps simplifies how you build automated scalable workflows that integrate apps and
data across cloud services and on-premises systems. Hundreds of preconfigured triggers and
connectors are available that help react to events, mash-up information and send data to other
systems.
More information about Logic Apps can be found at https://azure.microsoft.com/de-
