How to create custom SAP activity in Visual Studio 2019 with Activity Creator Extension?

Hello People,

I would like to learn more about custom activity creation for SAP.

I have seen some activity creation examples on youtube.

Could you please share some examples about how to create a custom SAP activity?

Videos are the most appreciated.

Thanks everyone.

Hello Gokul,

Thank you for comments. I know this video and Activity Creator Extension.
I am using it on Visual Studio 2019.

This video does not explain how to create an SAP UiPath activity.

Do you have a simple explanation video for SAP UiPath Activity creation?

Hi @Saltukhan_Dura

Have a look on the thread

All of those are very useful. Thank you.

I need specifically activity creation for SAP.

Thanks for supports and effort. But I still couldn’t find a solution yet.

If you have a simple SAP activity json file or nupkg file as an example, could you please share it?

Hello Saltukhan,
what kind of SAP automation do you want to “wrap” in a custom activity?
@ushu and @Gokul001 shows you examples of the Activity Creator, BAPI and SAP GUI.
Help us to help you, describe your requirements in more detail.
Best regards

I am just trying to understand this activity creation concept.
I have some ideas in my mind.
But now I am just working on clicking on a button in SAP or writing a small text in a field in SAP.

Those are basically SAP GUI activities.
Do you have one small example on Visual Studio?

For example I just dont know what SAP references into projects to add.

@Saltukhan_Dura

Hello Saltukhan,
for clarification: You want to code an own activity with Visual Studio that uses SAP GUI Scripting for automating SAP GUI for Windows, correct?
If that is the case you must reference an interoperability library of the SAP GUI Scripting API, it is e.g. available with the SAP NetWeaver Business Client (NWBC). With that library you can use SAP GUI Scripting seamlessly.
Best regards
Stefan
