Configure the elastic runtime environment

You can use the elastic runtime environment to connect to the SAP system when you configure an SAP BAPI connection in Data Integration.

Before you configure an SAP BAPI connection using the elastic runtime environment, you need to perform certain prerequisites.

Deploy the elastic runtime environment on AWS to make the Kubernetes cluster available to process data from Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services.

For more information about deploying an elastic runtime environment, see Deploy an elastic runtime environment.

Ensure that the elastic agent is up and running and enable the required connectors.

To enable connectors in the elastic agent, perform the following steps:

In Administrator, select Runtime Environments
.

Right-click the Secure Agent group and select Enable or Disable Services and Connectors
.

A dialog box listing all the services and connectors for the Secure Agent group is displayed.

On the Connectors
tab, enable the required connectors.

Click OK
.

Create a data disk in the same environment where the elastic runtime cluster is running to store the custom binaries.

On the master node, create a directory and mount the EFS or data disk to that directory.

Place the custom binaries on the mounted disk and copy the exact path to the binaries.

This path is used in POST API calls.

Make a POST call to the REST API, passing the session ID, runtime environment ID, and the binary file path to register the binaries.

For more about information about making the POST calls, see Supplementary files in the REST API Reference guide.

The following is an example of the POST request:

POST <base URL>/api/v3/RuntimeEnvironment/<runtime environment ID>/ElasticConfig
Content-Type: application/json
Accept: application/json
INFA-SESSION-ID: <SessionId>
{
  "rteId": "rte-12345",
  "specification": {
    "agent": {
      "dataIntegrationServer": {
        "sap": {
          "jcos": [{"sourcePath": "/<path to binaries>/jco1"}],
          "nwrfcs": [{"sourcePath": "/<path to binaries>/nwrfc1"}],
          "hanas": [{"sourcePath": "/<path to binaries>/hana1"}]
        }

The POST call triggers a restart of the Data Integration Server.

Verify that the elastic runtime environment is running by checking the status of the Data Integration Server in Administrator.

Test a connection or run a mapping to confirm that the elastic runtime environment can access and use the custom binaries.

For more information about how to configure and use the elastic runtime environment, see

Elastic Runtime Environments

in the Administrator help.
