SAP Client

SAP client is a service created in Adeptia Connect to communicate with the SAP server. While sending Intermediate Document (IDoc) it does not require any gateway, IDoc is directly sent to a client. However, when receiving IDoc from SAP, Adeptia's SAP Server acts as a gateway, and the client is the receiving end of a service in a client/server model type of system.
