Connect to SAP

Let's configure the SAP connection properties to connect to SAP through the Intermediate Documents (IDocs) or BAPI/RFC interface.

Before you begin

Before you get started, you'll need to configure the Secure Agent machine and SAP system to establish an SAP connection.
Check out Prerequisites to learn more about these tasks.

Connection details

The following table describes the basic connection properties:

Each connection name must be unique within the organization. Connection names can contain alphanumeric characters, spaces, and the following special characters: _ . + -,

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.
This property is not supported by Data Ingestion and Replication.
When you enable the secret vault in the connection, you can select which credentials that 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.
Runtime Environment
The name of the runtime environment where you want to run tasks.
Select a Secure Agent or serverless runtime environment.
For more information about how to configure a serverless environment, see Use the serverless runtime environment.

SAP connection types

You can configure IDoc Reader, IDoc Writer, and SAP RFC/BAPI Interface connection types to access data in SAP through Intermediate Documents (IDocs) and BAPI/RFC interfaces.
Select the required SAP connection type and then configure the connection-specific parameters.
