Preparing a SAP Account

You must have a valid SAP account to access the SAP system that the SAP adapter integrates with.

To make sure the SAP adapter can use your SAP account to seamlessly integrate with SAP systems, your SAP account must meet the following requirements:

The SAP account has the access to a dedicated SAP application server. The valid user name and password of your account are required to extract metadata for BAPIs, RFCs, and IDocs by using TIBCO Business Studio.
The SAP account has the authorization from the SAP system administrator to execute RFCs and access tables in the SAP system.
The SAP account has the privilege to execute the following SAP Function Groups:
- EDIMEXT
- RFC1
- SDIFRUNTIME
If you want to use different connection parameters at design time and run time for an inbound adapter configuration, obtain corresponding connection parameters.

Note: IDocs/RFCs/BAPIs specific to a particular language cannot be retrieved if you log on to the SAP system from the SAP GUI or TIBCO Business Studio with a different language.
