Introduction > Integration with SAP NetWeaver > Therefore SAP Connector

Therefore™ Matching Service

This is a Windows Service that runs on the Therefore™ Server. It collects SAP NetWeaver® Index Information on a policy basis and adds collected index data to the corresponding Therefore™ document. This results in documents being searchable in Therefore™. It effectively acts as a cost effective read-only client for SAP NetWeaver that can find SAP NetWeaver documents even when the SAP NetWeaver system is down.

This service is not covered by the certification.

It fetches information directly from SAP NetWeaver Tables. Using the read-only ABAP Call RFC_READ_TABLE. Since information is usually split over multiple tables it mostly has to be fetched in multiple steps.

Matching_001

Steps are always executed in the same order and describe the path to the information. Looking at the example shown in the graphic above.

1.The first step is always the same and gets the Object ID from Table TOA01 based on the ARC_DOC_ID which is known by Therefore™.

2.The steps that follow depend on the instance. In our case step 2 gets the Invoice no. (BELNR) and other data using the OBJECT_ID from the table BKPF.

3.Then in this case the third steps gets the Invoice amount (WRBTR) from the table BSEG using the BELNR from the table BKPF.
