Abstract
A scheme for a business-software application system (e.g., SAP) to access cloud storage (e.g., AT&T Synaptic Storage-as-a-Service) by means of an add-on enabler software module, where applications can use cloud storage as an archive (e.g., ArchiveLink) repository. In one embodiment, a business-software application system includes an application server and an enabler. The application server is configured to execute a plurality of applications and includes an archiving module. The enabler is adapted to exchange application data with (i) the archiving module, and, (ii) via a secure connection, a cloud-storage repository. In one embodiment, the enabler employs the SAP ArchiveLink protocol to communicate with the archiving module and is adapted to make signed Representational State Transfer (REST) HTTP calls through the ABAP language.
