Microsoft Enterprise Resource Planning Management Agent for SAP released

Today the MIIS Team released the new Management Agent for SAP; you can get the MA at https://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=e05fa661-d087-4b12-8a79-e59494c9dd4a&displaylang=en&tm. With MIIS and the management agent for ERP systems, you can synchronize user information between SAP and identity stores like AD as well as with other systems.

The ERP MA utilizes BAPIs to import, add, update, delete, and set passwords for objects in the connected SAP system. The MA is based on the SAP Connector for Microsoft .NET v2.0; therefore it is necessary having the Connector installed on the machine where the MA is installed. The ERP MA is flexible and can support any MIIS operation for any object type, provided the appropriate BAPIS have been exposed and the ERP MA Configuration Tool has been used to set up the corresponding configuration.

The ERP MA includes a configuration tool (known as the ERP MA Configuration Tool). The ERP MA Configuration Tool is used to specify what object types, attributes, operations, and functions will be used by the ERP MA. The ERP MA ships with a default configuration file that supports Full Import, Export-Add, Export-Update, and Export-Delete for users and employees as well as Password Set for users on SAP. The ERP MA Configuration Tool allows the ERP MA to be flexible and support non-standard operations. The ERP MA Configuration Tool can also be used to optimize performance for large scale imports as well as setting additional configuration parameter.
