Feedback on SapConnectPlugin

-- Rüdiger Plantiko - 2013-03-03

Thank you very much Ruediger for contributing this plugin!

I created some supporting topics SapConnectPluginDev, SapConnectPluginAppraisal, Support.SapConnectPlugin and TWikibug:SapConnectPlugin. I also tagged the plugin topic.

I did some copy-editing directly on the plugin topic. Please feel free to take this into the next release.

I looked at the package. I recommend to package it like other plugins using the TWiki directory structure:

• data/TWiki/SapConnectPlugin.txt - the plugin topic
• pub/TWiki/SapConnectPlugin/screenshot.png - if you have, a screenshot or two
• lib/TWiki/Plugins/SapConnectPlugin.pm - the Perl module
• lib/TWiki/Plugins/SapConnectPlugin/Config.spec - if you have, the configure file, used by the configure script
• lib/TWiki/Plugins/SapConnectPlugin/extra-stuff - extra stuff, such as your K961921.D12 file
• test/unit/SapConnectPlugin/SapConnectPluginSuite.pm - unit test module definition
• test/unit/SapConnectPlugin/*.pm - unit tests

See details in TWikiPlugins, TestCasesTutorial. See example SVN:EmptyPlugin

I have imported the SAP transportfiles into our system, but noticed that they do not contain all necessary objects: the class ZCL_FACTORY, which is used within class ZCL_TWIKI_CONNECT is missing. Also the package definition is not included in the transport. There are some incompatibilties in the ABAP syntax which occur due to our older application server version (7.00), but these can be corrected easily.

As the call to ZCL_FACTORY is not relevant for the standard functions of the plugin, I removed the code lines to get the plugin running - works great!

Maybe you can create a new transport file containing all components.
