This section provides you with answers to common questions about WebSphere® Adapter for SAP Software.
The reset property (Reset the JCO client after closing the connection handle) is used to obtain the latest changes of the ABAP definition (BAPI) dynamically. The changes can be any logical change in the ABAP code or a parameter change in the function module. This property is applicable only for BAPI Outbound modules.
Following are the advantages of using the Reset JCO client feature:
Get the latest changes that happened to the SAP system by discarding the cached contents in JCO.
Get the changes that happened to BAPI definition dynamically without restarting the adapter.
When you deploy the adapter at the node level and manually create the activation specification and the managed connection factory properties ensure that you specify the mandatory fields as indicated below.
For ALE inbound, the following example indicates the mandatory properties that you need to specify in the activation specification properties. You can locate the following properties in the .export file.
