SAP Connection Properties

SAP Connection Properties

Use an SAP connection to access an SAP table or an SAP BW object. The SAP connection is an enterprise application connection. You can create and manage an SAP connection in the Administrator console or the Developer tool.
The order of the connection properties might vary depending on the tool where you view them.
The following table describes the SAP connection properties:
Property
Description
Username
Required. User name for the SAP source system that you want to access.
Password
Required. Password for the user name.
Connection type
Required. Type of connection that you want to create.
Select one of the following values:
  • Application. Create an application connection when you want to connect to a specific SAP application server.
  • Load balancing. Create a load balancing connection when you want to use SAP load balancing.
Default is Application.
Based on the connection type you select, the corresponding connection property fields become available in the
Connection Details
 dialog box. The Developer tool greys out the connection property fields that are not applicable for a particular connection type.
Host name
Required when you create an SAP application connection.
Host name or IP address of the SAP server that you want to connect to.

If you leave this option blank, the Developer tool uses the default language of the SAP system.
Trace
Optional. Use this option to track the JCo calls that the SAP system makes. SAP stores the information about the JCo calls in a trace file.
Specify one of the following values:
  • 0. Off
  • 1. Full
Default is 0.
You can access the trace files from the following directories:
  • <Informatica installation directory>/tomcat/bin
     directory on the machine where you installed the Informatica services
  • <Informatica installation directory>/clients/DeveloperClient

If you enable SFTP, specify a host name or port number for an SFTP server. Default for SFTP is 22.
Retry period
Number of seconds that the Data Integration Service attempts to reconnect to the FTP host if the connection fails.
