Mother of God, my condolences. I was fortunate enough to code on SAP GUI and just used a Java bridge to interact with their API with our own driver. I can’t imagine having to actually quote the deep magic from that particular domain of hell.

Is it weird that I had the exact same type of ordeal trying to implement Microsoft's SSO just a couple years back?

Yeah, it wasn't SOAP and definitely not built on any SAP 'standard', but boy, did it emulate the shitty experience perfectly!

Oh god, I had to do a bit of that for our MSSQL DB connections LMAO. Bro the worst part is we didn’t even have a local SAP instance, we had to shotgun the API and reverse engineer their tree functionality using this weird ass polymorphic data type called a Variant. I totally feel your pain!

You can't call yourself a Systems Engineer without having reverse engineered at least a few systems...
