I did this a couple of years ago, except we had a Delphi application sitting between the Oracle box and the SAP box. The Delphi application uses Oracle alerts and pipes to communicate with the Oracle DB and used RFC to communicate with the SAP box (which was a NIGHTMARE to configure from scratch due to a lack of decent documentation). I'm not saying this is the best way to do it, but it DOES work and was used in a production system (we could usually update the SAP system within a couple of seconds of something happening within the Oracle DB and vice-versa).
