Connect SAP and MySQL

Connecting SAP and MySQL for a company that uses both could enable the transfer of business data between the two platforms. This could support tasks such as synchronizing financial records, sharing inventory information, or consolidating reporting data, depending on the company’s needs and the specific data structures and business processes involved.

You can build this integration on the System2System platform. We design the connection between SAP and MySQL around the way you work — not as an off-the-shelf connector, but to fit your systems.

Why connect SAP and MySQL?

A company operating both SAP and MySQL could benefit from establishing a data exchange between these systems to support more accurate, timely, and efficient business processes. Without such a connection, employees may be forced to enter the same data into both systems manually, which can lead to errors, omissions, and inconsistencies. Over time, records could diverge between the two platforms, making it difficult to reconcile information and potentially resulting in decisions based on outdated or incomplete data. Inaccurate or misaligned records can also complicate reporting, compliance, and customer service efforts. If a connection were established, it could enable the transfer of information such as financial transactions, inventory levels, customer records, and order details, depending on what each system is used for within the business. This would help ensure that both systems reflect the same set of facts at any given time, reducing the risk of confusion or miscommunication. The specific data exchanged would depend on the operational needs of the company and the roles each system plays. What can actually be transferred or synchronized depends on the data access provided by each system’s API and must be determined on a case-by-case basis.

How System2System builds an integration

Connectors

We connect to each system through the interface it offers — an API, a database, a file exchange or a webhook — and handle authentication, rate limits and retries.

Mapping

Fields rarely line up one to one. We map and transform the data so both systems receive it in the shape they expect.

Workflow

We define what triggers an exchange, in which direction data flows and which system takes precedence when the two disagree.

Monitoring

Every exchange is logged. Failures are flagged and can be replayed, so nothing disappears without anyone noticing.

What can actually be exchanged?

That depends on what SAP and MySQL make available through their APIs, on the licences and modules in use, and on the version each system runs. Which records are synchronised, in which direction and how often, is something we determine together before any work starts.

We are happy to look at your specific situation and tell you what is feasible — including when the answer is that it is not.
