Before you create a catalog source, ensure that you have the information required to connect to the source system.
Perform the following tasks:
•Assign the required permissions.
•Configure a connection to the SAP ERP source system in Administrator.
•Import SAP transports to the SAP ERP source.
Note:
If you don't install the latest version of the transport files, the test connection fails when you configure the catalog source.
•Install the SAP JCo libraries.
•Configure the JAVA_LIBS property in Administrator.
•If the SAP S/4HANA application is hosted on a private cloud, ensure that one of the following metadata extraction prerequisites is met:
- The virtual machine that hosts the Secure Agent is located in the same region and virtual private cloud as the virtual machine that hosts the SAP S/4HANA application. This prevents network connectivity issues.
- If the virtual machine that hosts the Secure Agent is in a different virtual private cloud, ensure that the two clouds are properly peered or that network traffic is enabled between them.
•Create endpoint catalog sources for connection assignment.
