❗ SAP NWRFC SDK is not a part of these images and must not be packed into externaly distributed images or applications.

Exclusive distribution channel is: SAP NWRFC SDK on SAP Support Portal

More info: https://support.sap.com/en/product/connectors/nwrfcsdk.html

abap CLI can run also from docker container, mapped to your local working folder.

Prepare the working directory:

mkdir myproject
cd myproject
edit sapnwrfc.ini

Docker image with pre-installed SAP NWRFC SDK is available in SAP-internal network only (link). The local working directory myproject shall be mapped to docker volume work:

docker pull docker.wdf.sap.corp:51689/vpcoe/abap-api-tools
docker run --name cli -it -v <absolute path>/myproject:/work docker.wdf.sap.corp:51689/vpcoe/abap-api-tools

The container can be also built from abap-api-tools.Dockerfile. SAP NWRFC SDK folder "nwrfcsdk" shall be in that case first copied to Dockerfile folder:

docker build --rm --no-cache -t abap-api-tools -f abap-api-tools.Dockerfile .
docker run --name cli -it -v <absolute path>/myproject:/work abap-api-tools

Once the cli container is up and running, the abap CLI can be invoked:

docker start cli
docker exec cli abap
