Basic connection properties

When you select SAP IDoc as the connection type, you can configure the IDoc-specific connection properties on the connection creation page.
To create the SAP IDoc connection, configure the following properties on the Properties tab of the connection creation page:
Property
Description
Name
Required. Enter a unique name for the connection that identifies it in the Process Designer.
The name must be unique within the organization. It can contain alphanumeric characters, spaces, and the following special characters: _ . + -,
Maximum length is 255 characters.
Location
Required. The location of the project or folder where you want to save the connection. Click Browse to select a location.
If the Explore page is currently active and a project or folder is selected, the default location for the connection is the selected project or folder. Otherwise, the default location is the location of the most recently saved asset.
Description
Description of the connection. Maximum length is 4000 characters.
Type
Required. The type of connection you want to use for the connector or service connector. Select SAP IDoc.
Runtime Environment
Required. The run-time environment for the connection. You can run the connection on a Secure Agent group or a Secure Agent machine.
Connection Test
Indicates whether the connection test was successful or not. By default, the property displays the results of the connection test.
OData-Enabled
Not supported for SAP IDoc Connector.
Use Secret Vault
Stores sensitive credentials for this connection in the secrets manager that is configured for your organization.
This property appears only if secrets manager is set up for your organization.
When you enable the secret vault in the connection, you can select which credentials the Secure Agent retrieves from the secrets manager. If you don't enable this option, the credentials are stored in the repository or on a local Secure Agent, depending on how your organization is configured.
For information about how to configure and use a secrets manager, see "Secrets manager configuration" in the Administrator help.
Along with these basic properties, you must define the properties based on the authentication type. You must also configure the event source properties and event target properties for the SAP IDoc connection. After you publish the SAP IDoc connection, the Metadata tab displays the generated process objects.
