Configure Destination Service

Context

You use this procedure to maintain SAP S/4HANA or SAP ERP API destination details (asset central change notification OData Service) in asset central foundation.

Procedure

Navigate to the corresponding Asset Central SaaS tenant.
Choose Destinations and select New Destination.

Provide the Destination name and its details. For example:

Name: EAM_CONNECTION (Make sure that the Name is always prefixed with EAM_)
Type: HTTP
Description: Provide a short description
URL: API to access the SAP S/4 HANA system (For example http://***********/sap/opu/odata/ACI/ASSET_CENTRAL_CHANGE_NOTIF/AssetCentralChangeNotifications)

Note

When defining the Destination, always enter the URL as HTTP since the on-premise destinations only support HTTP connections.
Proxy Type: On Premise
Authentication: Basic Authentication

User: Username to access the SAP EAM system

Note

A technical/communication user must be used for communication. This user must have the following key authorizations to access the SAP ERP service from IAM:

Authorization Object	Authorization Attribute	Value
S_SERVICE	SVR_TYPE	HT
S_SERVICE	SVR_NAME	*
S_RFC	RFC_TYPE	FUGR
	RFC_NAME	*
	ACTVT	16

Customers can typically have application level authorizations defined as part of standard business suite administration, which controls access to different business process and data. The various accesses include privileges to create or update or read objects like equipment, functional location, work order, notification, documents and so on. In addition to authorizations mentioned above, application specific authorizations or roles must also be assigned to the technical/communication user.
