Don't buy this book, unless you are looking for a bad and superficial (marketing-like) survey over some R/3 interfaces in connection with an even more superficial (out of scope) discussion of groupware and Lotus Notes. You may easily get the same information from the (public) web sites of SAP and Lotus. Concerning R/3-interfacing, where I am not aware of some recommendable book, you might order the "R/3 Interface Adviser CD" directly form SAP (as a customer(?)).

It is a very basic explanation of lotus notes and how could you use it with bapi's plus a list of all the bapis available in the system.... a total waiste of money

This is a useless book on SAP. Could not find any usefull material on any subject of SAP.

The only worth this book has is that it provides a comprehensive list of BAPI currently available in SAP. Otherwise, it's a complete waste of time and money.

There is not any substance or detail in this text, it is about as usefull as marketing overheads. Having developed an interface
to BAPIs using Java, I can tell you that this book is of no help.

I bought this book last month.I can't got what I want. Because I use VB.I hope author can put more material into the CD-ROM. The CD-rom didn't have enought information for a VB Programer. This one is only for Notes programer.

This 'booklet' provides a very brief overview of the SAP Business Framework, a summary on the Lotus Notes extension to SAP, and then a list of all BAPI's available in SAP (which is available on the SAP homepage anyway). And that's it. To add salt to wounds, the CD contains 4 useless powerpoint slides - one of which basically gives PWC's address and phone number! Save your money.

Had lot of expectations! got disappointed! Very little talk on invoking BAPI's and integration with non-SAP system. No sample codes either. One would expect more from a consultant of BIG 6. Also less updated since little is said on versions from 4.X. Would be keen to interact with the author if he would be oblidged to respond to my mailid.

I believe that the acronym "BAPLS" in the title of this book should be "BAPIs". A "BAPI" is a "Business Application Programming Interface" (or something similar), but I've never heard of a "BAPL". Just a comment so that you can check it.

First of all, the first reviewer obvious did not read the title of the book. The book is specifically about SAP R/3 not about non SAP R/3 systems. The second reviewer obvious confuse 'I' with 'L'. This is understandable since font type Arial of 'I' looks like a small case 'l'.
