SAP BAPI Connector Administration

Before you can use an SAP BAPI connection to process data through BAPIs, an administrator must perform the following tasks:

Downloading and Configuring SAP Libraries for BAPI

Download the SAP JCo libraries and configure them on the machine where the Secure Agent runs. Contact SAP Customer Support if you encounter any issues with downloading the libraries.
    1Go to the SAP Service Marketplace: http://service.sap.com.
    Note: You must have SAP credentials to access the Service Marketplace.
    2Download the most recent version of the 64-bit SAP JCo libraries based on the operating system on which the Secure Agent runs::
    Secure Agent System
    SAP File Names
    Windows
    sapjco3.jar
    sapjco3.dll
    Linux
    sapjco3.jar
    libsapjco3.so
    3Copy the libraries to the following directory:
    <Informatica Secure Agent installation directory>\apps\process-engine\ext
    4Restart the Secure Agent.

Configuring SAP User Authorizations

An SAP administrator needs to create a profile in the development, test, and production SAP system so that you can use the integration features. This profile name must include authorization for the objects and related activities. The profile on the test system should be the same as the profile on the production system.
The setup of the user and profiles is done within SAP using the SAP GUI. This activity is external to Informatica Cloud®.
The following table describes the authorization an SAP user requires to execute tasks using the BAPI/RFC functions:
Authorization Object
Authorization Value
S_RFC
SYST, SDTX, SDIFRUNTIME, RFC1, RFC2
Note: In addition to the above authorization, the user needs access to any BAPI/RFC function that needs to be executed.
