Can we use system.net.httpPost to send data to SAP from Ignition? I need to send data like machine values to SAP.

If the SAP integrators provide “web services” as a means of communication, yes, that’s possible.

We use the `httpPost` method in some instances to communicate data to SAP. We did have to add some boilerplate XML so it was a valid SOAP message, but once you know what SAP expects, it’s quite simple.
