Configuring an SAP ECC Session

You can configure session properties for sessions for mappings with SAP ECC sources and targets.

In the Task Developer, edit an SAP session.

The Edit Tasks dialog box appears.

On the Properties tab, select Fail Task and Continue Workflow or Restart Task for the Recovery Strategy property.

From the Connections settings on the Mapping tab (Sources node), select the connection values for the SAP ECC sources.

For a file mode session, use an FTP or SFTP connection to access the staging file.

Click Readers and select the appropriate readers for the SAP ECC sources.

If you specify the SAP Staging Reader for an SAP ECC source, click Properties and edit the following properties for the file source:

Attribute Name	Description
Stage File directory	SAP path containing the stage file. You can parameterize the stage file directory.
Source File directory	PowerCenter Integration Service path containing the source file. You can parameterize the source file directory.
Stage File Name	Name of the stage file. You can parameterize the stage file name.
Reinitialize the Stage File	If enabled, the ABAP program extracts data and replaces the existing staging file. You can only enable this option if you also enable Persist the Stage File.
Persist the Stage File	If enabled, the PowerCenter Integration Service reads an existing, valid staging file. If the staging file does not exist or is invalid, the ABAP program creates a new staging file. If disabled, the PowerCenter Integration Service deletes the staging file after reading it. Default is disabled.
Run Session in Background	Use when the data volume is high and the extraction time is very long.

On the Targets node, enter the connection values for the targets in the mapping.

Use the Partitions view on the Mapping tab to specify multiple partitions or change the partitioning information for each pipeline in a mapping.
