result = conn.call('BAPI_CUSTOMER_GETDETAIL2', 
                  CUSTOMERNO='0000001000')

Advanced Workflows

SAP HANA Integration

For complex analytics and real-time processing:

• See references/hana-integration.md

S/4HANA Migration Support

For brownfield and greenfield transitions:

• See references/s4hana-migration.md

Custom Enhancement Framework

For user exits, BADIs, and enhancement spots:

• See references/enhancement-framework.md

Authentication & Security

All SAP connections require proper authentication:

• Username/password for basic RFC
• X.509 certificates for secure connections
• OAuth 2.0 for cloud API access
• SSO integration via SAML/Kerberos

Security best practices enforced:

• Minimal authorization principle
• Encrypted data transmission
• Audit trail logging
• No hardcoded credentials
