To prepare a data source for use with the BI Java SDK or with UD Connect, you first need to configure the properties in BI Java Connector used to connect to the data source. You use the SAP NetWeaver Administrator to do this.
To create and configure systems in the portal for use in Visual Composer scenarios, seeRunning the System Landscape Wizardand Editing Systemsin the SAP Enterprise Portal System Landscape documentation.
More information:BI JDBC Connector
SeeManaging Resource Adaptersfor instructions on configuring connector properties.
SeeManaging Resource Adaptersfor details.
Your BI Java Connector properties are configured and your data source is ready to use.
Testing the Connections
After you have configured the BI Java Connector, you can perform a rough installation check by displaying the page for the connector in your server. Perform the tests for the connector by calling the URL(s) in the table below:
Connector Test Servlets

Successful Result |
BI JDBC Connector |
http://<host>:<port>/TestJDBC_Web/TestJDBCPage.jsp |
A list of tables is displayed |
These tests are designed to work with the default installation of the BI Java Connector. Cloned connectors with new JNDI names are not tested by these servlets.
JNDI Names
When creating applications with the BI Java SDK, refer to a connector by its JNDI name: The BI JDBC Connector has the name SDK_JDBC.
Cloning the Connections
You can clone an existing connection by using the Clone button in the toolbar.
For Universal Data Connect (UD Connect) only:
If you enter the name of the resource adapter in the duplication process, you have to add the prefix SDK_ to the JNDI name. Only use uppercase letters in the name. This ensures that UD Connect can recognize the connector.
