ABAP Proxy Insights

What is ABAP Proxy?

ABAP Proxies are used in SAP systems to enable communication between ABAP-based applications and other systems using web services. They act as intermediaries, allowing ABAP programs to consume external web services (outbound proxy) or expose ABAP functionality as web services (inbound proxy). This allows for seamless integration with other SAP systems, non-SAP systems, and cloud-based services using the SOAP protocol. They handle the complexities of SOAP message formatting and transport, simplifying the process of calling or providing web services from within ABAP code.
