Application Connection for BAPI/RFC Integration

Application Connection for BAPI/RFC Integration

To process BAPI/RFC data in SAP, you must create an application connection of the SAP RFC/BAPI Interface type in the Workflow Manager. The Integration Service uses this connection to connect to SAP and make BAPI/RFC function calls to extract, transform, or load data.
The following table describes the properties that you configure for an SAP RFC/BAPI application connection:
Property
Description
Name
Connection name used by the Workflow Manager.
User Name
SAP user name with authorization on S_DATASET, S_TABU_DIS, S_PROGRAM, and B_BTCH_JOB objects.
To define the user name in the parameter file, enter session parameter $Param
Name
 as the user name, and define the value in the session or workflow parameter file. The Integration Service interprets user names that start with $Param as session parameters.
Use Parameter in Password
Indicates the password for the SAP user name is a session parameter, $Param
Name
. Define the password in the workflow or session parameter file, and encrypt it by using the
pmpasswd
 CRYPT_DATA option. Default is disabled.
Password
Password for the SAP user name.
If you want to run a session on 32-bit Linux, and you want to connect to SAP 4.60, enter the password in uppercase. The SAP system must also use uppercase passwords.
Connect String
DEST entry defined in the
sapnwrfc.ini
 file for a connection to a specific SAP application server.
Code Page
Code page compatible with the SAP server. Must also correspond to the Language Code.
Language Code
Language code that corresponds to the SAP language.
Client Code
