New connector: SAP On-prem
SAP is used as a full enterprise resource planning (ERP) software that helps companies with critical business functions like financials, distribution, manufacturing, project management and customer relationship management.
Integration with SAP has always been a huge challenge, usually requiring complex development and SAP expertise. There is also the added challenge of integrating an on-premise system with other apps that live in the cloud. Workato’s SAP On-premise connector allows you to easily automate processes between your SAP system (on-premise or on a firewall-protected server) and external apps & databases. This is achieved by simply installing a lightweight Workato On-prem Agent on your SAP server.
The Workato SAP connector supports the 2 most popular SAP integration methods: asynchronous IDoc and synchronous RFC with the following trigger and actions.
These actions allow powerful workflows that help automate complex IDocs/RFC with any other cloud or on-prem application. Workato allows you to search all configured IDocs in your SAP system, instantly. The schema will then be loaded and ready to process data, even if there are hundreds of fields within the IDoc!
For a quick introduction to our connector, check out this blog post to find out more. For a more detailed walkthrough into each supported action, follow the Workato documentation about SAP.
New connector: Snowflake
Snowflake is a relational ANSI SQL data warehouse in the cloud. Due to its unique architecture designed for the cloud, Snowflake offers a data warehouse that is faster, easier to use, and far more flexible than traditional data warehouse.
Workato’s Snowflake connector offers robust, comprehensive and high performance that allows a range of powerful business workflows with a myriad of use cases.
The Snowflake connector currently supports the following actions in the V1 release, and users can expect the triggers to be available in the next few weeks.
- Select actions
- Insert actions
- Update actions
- Delete actions
- Run custom SQL action
- Bulk load from Amazon S3
The use of the available actions has been documented in each of the links above. Watch this space for more Snowflake blog posts in the coming weeks!
