Configure the connection URI for the SAP adapter

  • Artikkeli

A connection URI is a connection string to connect to an SAP system. It contains various parameters required to establish connection with an SAP system. At design time, you must specify the URI to connect to the SAP system to generate the metadata. At run time, you must specify the URI to connect to the SAP system to perform operations.

Enter the connection URI at design time

For design time, you can specify the connection URI using the Consume Adapter Service Add-in or the Add Adapter Metadata Wizard.

Enter the connection URI using Consume Adapter Service Add-in

  1. Right-click your BizTalk project, point to Add, and then click Add Generated Items.

  2. In the Add Generated Items dialog box, do the following:

    Use this To do this
    Categories Click Consume Adapter Service.
    Templates Click Consume Adapter Service.

  3. To start the Consume Adapter Service dialog box, click Add.

  4. In the Consume Adapter Service dialog box, from the Select a binding drop-down list select sapBinding, and click Configure.

  5. In the Configure Adapter dialog box, click the Security tab. From the Client credential type drop-down list boxes, select Username and specify the user name and password to connect to the SAP system.

  6. Click the URI Properties tab and specify values for different parameters. For more information about the connection URI for the SAP adapter, see Create the SAP system connection URI.

  7. Click the Binding Properties tab and specify the binding values, if any, which are required to be specified before generating the schema. For example, you must specify a value for the GenerateFlatFileCompatibleIDoc property before generating schema for receiving IDOC from an SAP system. For more information about binding properties, see Read about BizTalk Adapter for mySAP Business Suite binding properties.

  8. Click OK.

Enter the connection URI using Add Adapter Metadata Wizard

  1. Right-click your BizTalk project, point to Add, and then click Add Generated Items.

  2. In the Add Generated Items dialog box, do the following:

    Use this To do this
    Categories Click Add Adapter.
    Templates Click Add Adapter Metadata.

  3. Click Add. The Add Adapter Metadata Wizard opens.

  4. In the Add Adapter Wizard, select WCF-SAP. Select the computer on which BizTalk Server is installed and the name of the BizTalk database.

    Important

    If you already have a WCF-SAP port configured in BizTalk, select the port from the Port list.

  5. Click Next.

  6. In the Consume Adapter Service dialog box, from the Select a binding drop-down list select sapBinding, and click Configure.

  7. In the Configure Adapter dialog box, click the Security tab. From the Client credential type drop-down list boxes, select Username and specify the user name and password to connect to the SAP system.

  8. Click the URI Properties tab and specify values for different parameters. For more information about the connection URI for the SAP adapter, see Create the SAP system connection URI.

  9. Click the Binding Properties tab and specify the binding values, if any, which are required to be specified before generating the schema. For example, you must specify a value for the GenerateFlatFileCompatibleIDoc property before generating schema for receiving IDOC from an SAP system. For more information about binding properties, see Read about BizTalk Adapter for mySAP Business Suite binding properties.

    Note

    If you selected an existing WCF-SAP send port, you need not specify the binding properties. The binding properties are picked from the send port configuration. However, you may choose to specify the binding properties that are required at design-time, if any. In such case, the new values for binding properties will be used at design-time while generating the metadata. However, at run-time the values specified for binding properties in the send port configuration will be applicable.

  10. Click OK.

Enter the connection URI at run time

For run time, you can specify the URI as part of the WCF-Custom or WCF-SAP port configuration in the BizTalk Server Administration console.

Enter the connection URI for the WCF-Custom port

  1. Start the BizTalk Server Administration console.

  2. In the console tree, expand BizTalk Group, then expand Applications, and then expand the application under which you want to create a port, and click Send Ports or Receive Ports. In the right pane, you can choose to create a port or select an existing port.

  3. In the port properties dialog box, from the Type drop-down list, select WCF-Custom, and then click Configure.

    Note

    To see the location properties dialog box for a receive port, click the Receive Location tab on the left pane of the port properties dialog box, and then click New.

  4. In the WCF-Custom Transport Properties dialog box, click the General tab.

  5. In the Address (URI) text box, specify the connection URI to connect to the SAP system. For more information about the connection URI for the SAP adapter, see Create the SAP system connection URI.

  6. In the WCF-Custom Transport Properties dialog box, click the Binding tab. From the Binding Type drop-down list, select sapBinding.

  7. If you are creating a send port, in the WCF-Custom Transport Properties dialog box, click the Credentials tab and do one of the following:

    1. Select the Do not use Single Sign-On option, and specify the user name and password to connect to the SAP system.

    2. Select the Use Single Sign-On option, and specify an affiliate Enterprise Single Sign-on (SSO) application.

  8. If you are creating a receive port, in the WCF-Custom Transport Properties dialog box, click the Other tab and do one of the following:

    1. Select User account option, and specify the user name and password to connect to the SAP system.

    2. Select Get credentials from affiliate application option, and specify an affiliate SSO application.

  9. Click OK.

Enter the connection URI for the WCF-SAP port

  1. Start the BizTalk Server Administration console.

  2. Add the WCF-SAP adapter to the BizTalk Server Administration console. For instructions, see Add the SAP Adapter to BizTalk Server Administration Console.

  3. In the console tree, expand BizTalk Group, then expand Applications, and then expand the application under which you want to create a port, and click Send Ports or Receive Ports. In the right pane, you can choose to create a port or select an existing port.

  4. In the port properties dialog box, from the Type drop-down list, select the WCF-SAP adapter you added earlier, and then click Configure.

    Note

    To see the location properties dialog box for a receive port, click the Receive Location tab on the left pane of the port properties dialog box, and then click New.

  5. In the transport properties dialog box, click the General tab.

  6. Click the Configure button and provide values for the connection parameters. For more information about the connection URI for the SAP adapter, see Create the SAP system connection URI.

  7. In the transport properties dialog box, click the Binding tab and specify values for binding properties.

    Note

    The binding properties are displayed based on whether you are configuring a send port or a receive port. For example, binding properties related to inbound operations are not available while configuring a send port because inbound operations require a receive port configuration.
