Custom API

Custom API allows you to extend the scope beyond the standard protocol types and the supported Analysis Systems as long as they are not supported in the Interface Scan standard.

BEISPIEL
  • Batch input interfaces or any third-party tools within SAP® systems
  • Connecting third-party middleware systems (e.g. Oracle WebLogic, IBM WebSphere, etc.)
  • Native FTP
  • Any third-party system

The Customer API allows you to transfer usage data from such additional components to Interface Scan. You can evaluate this data in Interface Scan in the same way as the standard protocol types.

The customer must provide the usage data for customer-specific protocol types. An extended license is required.

Typical IT landscape (schematic)

The green circle shows the Interface Scan standard scope: It allows you to discover all inbound and outbound connections of all Analysis Systems, e.g.:

  • SAP® to SAP® connections
  • SAP® to non-SAP® connections
  • Connections from/to external business partners

The yellow circle describes the scope extension by implementing the Interface Scan Customer API for that particular component. It allows you to discover connections between the yellow component and the other components that are not connected to Interface Scan as Analysis Systems.
