SAP Connector - Legacy

The SAP Connector enables you to connect to your SAP application and get or send data via BAPI functions IDocs. You can easily browse the list of available BAPIs and IDocs defined in your SAP instance and auto-generate the request and response Profiles to use in Boomi Processes and Maps.

The connector operates in a request/response manner and does not support "listening" for outbound messages from SAP. The connector uses the SAP Java Connector (SAPJCo) technology and RFC framework.

Connector Configuration

Configuring a connector to communicate with SAP requires the setup of two different components, the connection and connector operation. This design allows for reusability of the components, which contain connection settings such as user name, password, etc. Once your connection and connector operation are built, you will need to set up your connector within the process model. When your connector is configured properly within your process, Boomi AtomSphere will be able to map to and from virtually any system using the SAP Connector to retrieve data from or send data to the SAP application.

Supported Versions

• SAP R/3 4.6B and higher
• MySAP

Prerequisites

• IMPORTANT - You must obtain and copy several library files specific to your SAP install. Refer to your SAP documentation or contact your SAP administrator for information on locating the sapjco.zip file. You may need to download it from SAP's website at http://service.sap.com/connectors. You must have an SAPNet account to access the SAP JCo (if you do not already have one, contact your local SAP Basis administrator). Click SAP JCo Connector then Tools & Services. This file contains three libraries:
  • sapjco.jar
  • sapjcorfc.dll
  • librfc32.dll
    Copy the sapjco.jar file to the ..\<Atom root>\lib directory. Copy the two DLL files to a location on the machine's PATH environment variable. For Windows, this will be C:\WINDOWS\system32.
• An Atom must be deployed to the machine that has access to the SAP server.
• The RFC, BAPI, or IDoc required for the integration already exists.
• Boomi must be configured with an SAP user name with sufficient permissions to perform the tasks necessary for the integration (able to invoke RFCs and BAPIs, manipulate specific business objects, etc.).
