Ideas
SAP Bot
Use Case
The idea is to show how microblogging can act as a integration platform for man-machine interaction.
- The user creates mesages on ESME with a certain tag and having a certain format (maybe see the suggestion for task-related mesages used by Remember the Milk)
- The ESME bot listens to the ESME message stream for messages with a certain tag.
- After receiving messages from ESME with the desired tag, the ESME bot reformats the message and posts the message to an SAP back-end.
- Based on the status of the back-end interaction, the ESME bot posts an ESME message with the status of the interaction.
Technical details
- The ESME Bot could be developed in any language but we have examples code for accessing the REST API for clients written in Javaand ABAP.
- The access to the SAP system could be performed via various means (web-services, RFC call, etc.) depending on what sort of system (version, etc.) you guys have on the university.
- There are two ways to get data from ESME via a bot.
- You can access the ESME core directly via API - polling for messages
- You can set an actionthat responds to certain tags and then calls your ESME bot via an HTTP call. We've done something like this for forwarding messages to twitter.
