Editing SAP
System Properties
Use
The template for an SAP system defines the specific parameters needed to connect to an SAP application, and contains a reference to the SAP connector. The SAP system inherits these properties, some with default values, others that require the setting of values. You edit the system by inserting needed property values and by modifying default values, if necessary.
SAP System Template
SAP systems can be based on one of two templates.
· One template (SAP system with load balancing) defines properties that support load balancing, making it more useful for large enterprises.
· The other template (SAP system using dedicated application server) defines properties that support a dedicated system.
Each template contains many properties, not all of which can be edited, and not all of which are necessary to establish a connection to the back-end system.
The table below lists the properties needed to define connectivity to an SAP application. Each has an explanation of the value that should be set.
It is important that editing of this template be done by an SAP system administrator.
