Over two years ago I presented COM Connector (CCo) here - CCo makes the using of the NetWeaver RFC library very easy.
Slowly but surely the landscape of the script language environments changed in Windows OS - from Windows Script Host (WSH) to PowerShell. From this point of view it seems good to take also a movement.
Here a PowerShell example how to get all installed SAP components and its version numbers in comparison with a VBScript which offers the same information.
Here now the VBScript:
As you can see it is very comparable.
To establish the comparibility I use an include file, which stores the COM access routines like Create-Object, Invoke-Method etc.
With this tiny include you can use COM functions in PowerShell almost like in VBScript.
Let the games begin.
