abap - How can I expose employee master data from SAP HR/HCM -
I am starting shortly for an integration project for which organizational data (line reporting etc.) and starter / lever event Etc. will be required. We use SAP HCM, but I do not have any experience of SAP (BizTalk / .NET developer), and I am still trying to talk to the right people about interfacing with SAP in our organization .
Unfortunately (even for our organization!), Stack Overflow is usually faster :)
So, in fact I am looking for an answer for the following ;
- Does the SAP expose the master staff data "out of the box" via HCM web services, if not, does it need to be exposed on the SAP side?
- If the data is detected, is it only through a bridge model? That is, can SAP be configured to push events?
- It may be naive, but is there a trial version of the SAP stack, which gives me permission to explore the options? Any suggestions will be received gratefully. I know that in the past, the organization has had to engage SAP consultants for such integration work, but (in my inexperienced world I think) it Is there a fairly easy integration problem?

I am not particularly familiar with the HCM module, But I can provide some general answers:
-
Normally, the standard display functionality of major business objects (such as a job in a user or human resources world) will come in front of BAPI Assuming that the ICF (Internet Communication Framework) was configured in your Base Team It is very easy to expose a BAPI as a web service.
-
SAP can push data based on events occurring in SAP. For example, whenever a new employee record is created in SAP, SAP can call a web service in your legacy.
-
According to a trial version of HCM though, here are some things that can be useful I have not used them personally but they are trying:
