Hi All,
Do we have a solution in place to integrate SAP By Design using Rest Webservice?
Yes, Webservice Connector!
@m_kumarCH Are you looking for OOTB Direct Connector for SAP or Custom REST Webservice connector?
We have OOTB connectors available to connect to SAP Applications like Sap Direct connectors etc.
Has anyone implemented the solution for SAP ByDesign using Rest Webservice connector? Would we have any link or documentation on this?
That is the question, you have to ask, if there is a direct connector available why you want to go with a webservice connector ?? do they have different endpoint to hit and perform operation??
@m_kumarCH You might want to explain in detail about your usecase. There are many OOTB SAP connectors available, you should give it a try. Please review and evaluate if you really need a web services connector.
Currently we have SAP ByDesign integrated using Delimited file connector. I am looking for recommendations if the SAP ByDesign could be automated in IIQ. Which would be the suggested connector type? On researching Rest webservice was the suggested connector type to automate. Wanted to check if that would be the right approach or we have a dedicated SAP connector for SAP ByDesign ?
@m_kumarCH Web Services gives you better control on the integration, you can go ahead with it. Also, if SCIM API are enabled in your SAP ByDesign tenant, you can keep SCIM connect as alternative.

I would suggest, You can leverage the OOTB Sap connector to achieve this automation. There are lot of SAP connectors which sailpoint provides, these connectors are easy to deploy and gives you end to end control.
You can go through different connectors which are available for sap, and test it in lower enviornmement.
@m_kumarCH since you’re coming from a Delimited File setup, REST Web Services is a solid step up and gives you real-time control over provisioning operations — worth going that route if SAP ByDesign exposes REST APIs for the operations you need (create, update, disable, etc.).
That said, SAP ByDesign is a bit of a special case — it’s not the same as SAP ERP or SAP S/4HANA, so the dedicated SAP connectors IIQ ships with (like the SAP HR or SAP R/3 connectors) likely won’t cover it out of the box. Those connectors are built around RFC/BAPI calls, not the ByDesign REST/SOAP APIs.
So practically speaking, REST Web Services connector is probably your best bet here unless your org has SCIM enabled on the ByDesign side — in that case the SCIM connector would be cleaner and less maintenance.
Worth checking what APIs SAP ByDesign exposes in your tenant first, then decide between REST WS and SCIM. If you can share what operations you need (aggregation only, or full provisioning too?), that’d help narrow it down.
