Install JCo for SAP ERP

The SAP ERP connector requires SAP Java Connector 3 (SAP JCo). Before you use the SAP ERP connector, create a bundle that contains the JCo files, and then add the bundle to the connector.

Follow these steps:

1. Ask the SAP administrator to follow these steps:
   1. Log in to http://service.sap.com/connectors using SAP Service Marketplace credentials.
   2. Click SAP Java Connector to display the JCo overview, then click Tools and Services from the menu on the left.
   3. Select Download SAP JCo Release 3 from the menu, then select the appropriate 64-bit download from the list.
   4. Extract the following files:
      • Windows: sapjco3.jar, sapjco3.dll
      • UNIX: sapjco3.jar, libsapjco3.so
   5. Send the files to the CA IAM Connector Server computer.

   You can now follow the remaining steps.

2. Run the sap_post_install script in the following location:

   cs-home/bin
   

   The script asks for the location of the JCo files. It then creates a bundle and saves it in the following location:

   cs-home/jcs/resources/sap/sapConnectorLibsOsgi.jar
   

3. Log in to CA IAM Connector Server.
4. At the top, click the Connector Servers tab.
5. In the Connector Server Management area, click the Bundles tab.
6. Add the new bundle:

   Note: You can deploy the OSGI bundle from the connector server GUI or copy the jar files to ca-home/jcs/data/bundles/restore. Then restart the connector server and wait up to ten minutes for it to load.

   1. In the Bundles area on the right, click Add.
   2. Browse to the bundle that the script created, then select the connector server on which this connector will be available.
   3. Click OK.

      The new bundle appears in the Bundles list.

7. Find the main connector bundle in the Bundles list, then right-click its name in the list and select Refresh Imports from the popup menu.

You can now use the SAP ERP connector to connect to an endpoint.

Load the Bundle for SAP r3 Prerequisites

The SAP R3 connector requires SAP Java Connector (SAP JCo). CA IAM Connector Server comes with a bundle that contains the JCo files. Before you use the SAP R3 connector, add this bundle to the connector.

Follow these steps:

1. Log in to CA IAM Connector Server.
2. Click Connector Server, Bundles, and then click Add.
3. Browse to the following file:

   cs-home/jcs/resources/sap/sapConnectorLibsOsgi.jar
   

   Note: Do not check the Start Bundle box.

4. Click OK.

   CA IAM Connector Server loads the bundle and lists it as a fragment.

5. Right-click the SAP R3 connector bundle (not the fragment!) and select Refresh Imports.

   The connector detects the new bundle, and includes it.

You can now use the SAP R3 connector to connect to an endpoint.
