= sapnwrfc - SAP Netweaver RFC support for Ruby - the next generation

== Summary

Welcome to the sapnwrfc Ruby package.  This package is intended to facilitate RFC calls to an SAP R/3 system of release NW2004x and above.  It may work for earlier versions but it hasn't been tested.
The fundamental purpose of the production of this package, is to provide a clean object oriented interface to RFC calls from within Ruby.  This will hopefully have a number of effects:
(1) make it really easy to do RFC calls to SAP from Ruby in an object oriented fashion (Doh!)
(2) promote Ruby as the interface/scripting/glue language of choice for interaction with SAP R/3.
(3) make the combination of Linux, Apache, and Ruby the killer app for internet connectivity with SAP.
(4) Establish a small fun open source project that people are more than welcome to contribute to, if they so wish.

== Installation

After you have unpacked your kit, you should have all the files listed
in the MANIFEST.

In brief, the following should work on most systems:
  ruby setup.rb 

if your rfcsdk is not findable in the system search path, then use the command line switches
for mkmf/setup.rb like so:
ruby setup.rb config  --with-nwrfcsdk-dir=/path/to/rfcsdk
ruby setup.rb setup

Now you can either install like so:
ruby setup.rb install

or build the gem and install that like so:
gem build sapnwrfc.linux.gemspec
gem uninstall sapnwrfc
gem install sapnwrfc-<version>-<architecture>.gem 


VERY IMPORTANT - make sure that you add the library path to LD_LIBRARY_PATH
eg - mine is:
 export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/home/piers/code/sap/nwrfcsdk/lib

One last thing - The SAP RFCSDK is a prerequisite for this perl package to work.  The RFCSDK is proprietrary software owned by SAP AG.  For this reason I will not supply ANY component part of the RFCSDK with this perl package, and further more you must obtain it through the normal channels with SAP AG - ie. you must have a licensed SAP R/3 installation at your disposal.
