[midPoint] midPoint and SAP-HCM (SAP-HR, R/3, ERP, BAPI, iDocs...)

[Lothar Haeger]

Hi Fabian,

that might be an option for environments where a read-only connection is sufficient, but we typically also manage communication data (mail, phone, fax etc.) and/or custom infotypes in HCM. We have developed such a SAP HCM connector for another IDM product already (Novell/NetIQ/OpenText IDM), so most of the heavy lifting has been done already and we'll "only" need to fit that into the ConnID framework, it seems. But that will take some time and I was hoping we would not have to go down that route, tbh...

Kind regards, Lothar
