Definition
The protocol used by SAP programs that communicate using the NI interface is called the SAP protocol. This is an enhanced version of the TCP/IP protocol, which has been supplemented by one length field and some options for error information .
Use
When defining the
Route Permission Table, you can use S as the initial letter. This then only allows the SAP protocol, that is, the line is interpreted as usual, but only SAP programs (SAP GUI, SAP application servers, etc.) are permitted to communicate with each other.See also:
Creating a Route Permission TableIntegration
The NI network interface provides the SAP protocol as the default for communication, although it can also use the TCP/IP protocol with external programs (for example,
telnet or lpd) that do not understand the SAP protocol.
