Configuring the module for deployment

To configure the adapter so that it can be deployed on WebSphere® Application Server, use Rational® Application Developer for WebSphere Software to create a module, which is exported as an EAR file when you deploy the adapter. You then specify the business objects you want to discover and the system on which you want to discover them.

  1. Configuration on the SAP system
    Depending on the interface you will be using, you might have to perform some prerequisite tasks before you use the J2C Bean wizard to configure the module. For example, if you are configuring a module for ALE or BAPI inbound processing, you must register a program ID with the SAP server. If you are going to use the Advanced event processing interface, you must install transport files on the SAP server.
  2. Launching the J2C Bean wizard
    To begin the process of creating and deploying a module, you start the J2C Bean wizard in Rational Application Developer for WebSphere Software. The wizard creates a connector project, which is used to organize the files associated with the module.
  3. Configuring the connector dependencies
    As part of generating the service, you are prompted by the J2C Bean wizard to specify the location of the required sapjco3.jar file and related files.
  4. Setting connection properties for the J2C Bean wizard
    To set connection properties for the J2C Bean wizard so that it can access the SAP server, specify information such as, the user name and password you use to access the server as well as the name or IP address of the server.
  5. Configuring the module for outbound processing
    To configure a module to use the adapter for outbound processing, use the J2C Bean wizard in Rational Application Developer for WebSphere Software to find and select business objects and services from the SAP server, and to generate the business object definitions and related artifacts.
  6. Configuring the module for inbound processing
    To configure a module to use the adapter for inbound processing, use the J2C Bean wizard in Rational Application Developer for WebSphere Software to find and select business objects and services from the SAP server, and to generate business object definitions and related artifacts.
