Specifying R/3 Connections (SAP Library)

Specifying R/3 Connections

The SAP@Web Studio allows you to predefine logon information for each R/3 System to which you want to connect. This information includes:

R/3 System details (system ID, host, and message server)
User details (client, user name, password, and language)

You can specify R/3 connections that log on by group or by server:

Connection by group

Logging on by group means that the system chooses the application server host for you at runtime. This lets the system balance the user load by choosing the host machine that is least busy. If you are unsure which group to use, ask your system administrator.

In general, you should specify R/3 connections by group whenever possible.

Connection by server

Sometimes, you want to log on to a specific R/3 host. If you create a connection by server, you specify this host explicitly. This means that when you log on, you are connected to this system only.
