SAP Connection

You can use the SAP Connection shared resource to establish bidirectional connections with the SAP system and download schemas at design time.

Note:
  • When the SAP Connection shared resource is created for the first time in a TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks project, predefined module properties starting with SAP* are created. The predefined module properties must not be deleted.
  • The SAP connection created in the shared module does not set to default, when SAP Plug-in activities are created in the application module. User needs to manually select the SAP connection from the shared module.
  • The configuration property RFC/BAPI No of Threads is available in the Advanced section of the Client Connection for SAP Connection shared resource. The default value is 8 but it should be maintained accordingly based on the number of BW engine threads available for your SAP application.

General

In the General panel, specify the package where the shared resource is stored in the Package field, and provide a short description for this shared resource in the Description field. The panel also shows the share resource name, which you defined when creating the shared resource.

Note: If an SAP Connection shared resource is referenced by an activity and has downloaded schema, you cannot rename this connection.

The General panels in the Client Connection Configuration, Server Connection Configuration, and the Message Source Configuration tabs are the same.
