Conditions
LicenceSAP Developer License Agreement 3.2 CAP§ 1from RFC connectivityA covered CAP application uses RFC connectivity to extract SAP product data into a non-SAP product.
§ 1License. Productive customer applications are limited to SAP BTP or another SAP-licensed platform, and mass extraction to a non-SAP product is restricted except where solely required for SAP interoperability.
RFC transport does not itself establish permitted use. When the flow copies SAP product data into a non-SAP product, section 1 and its interoperability exception become relevant to the concrete design.

Introducing open-rfc: Calling SAP RFC from Node.js Without the SDKIntroducing open-rfc: Calling SAP RFC from Node.js Without the SDKblogopen-rfc is a TypeScript and JavaScript RFC client for Node.js with no runtime dependencies and no SAP NetWeaver RFC SDK, written after SAP archived node-rfc and PyRFC and while the connector below @sap/cds-rfc needs an S-user, an SAP Build Code licence and a private registry. The history of RFC connectivity from Node.js is the first half; the second shows the package on its own, as an npm alias for node-rfc, and through an npm override as the connector below an unchanged @sap/cds-rfc. The 0.2.3 beta stops at direct application-server connections with password authentication and classic Unicode RFC: no message-server load balancing, SNC, tRFC, qRFC, bgRFC or server mode.published 2026-08-10Marian Zeis, blog.zeis.de — Marian Zeis
