Configurations on the SAP Gateway System (Consumer System) for Time ManagementLocate this document in the navigation structure

Note

  • SAP Gateway system is also called as Consumer system in this section.

  • When you are configuring the Consumer system for the first time (either for Leave Management, Time Management or Codelist) you must perform all the steps provided in the procedure below. But, once you configure the Consumer system for any one of the applications (either Leave Management, Time Management, or Codelist) you can ignore the following steps when configuring the system for the rest of the applications:

    • Importing a profile file

    • Creating a system connection to the Provider system

    • User account management

    • Assigning system aliases

    • Configuring destination finder

Configurations on the consumer system include:

  1. Importing a Profile file — Import the Profile created in the Provider system.

    Note

    You must import the same profile created in the provider system, else mass configuration of web service proxies in the service groups is not possible.

  2. Creating a system connection to the Provider system

  3. User account management

  4. Importing a business scenario Configuration XML or Configuring service groups using business scenarios/ — You can either manually configure service groups using a business scenario or import a business scenario configuration XML.

  5. Verifying logical ports

  6. Assigning system aliases:

    1. In transaction SPRO open the SAP Reference IMG and navigate to: Start of the navigation path SAP NetWeaver Next navigation step  SAP Gateway Next navigation step Former Development Next navigation step Generic Channel Next navigation step  Administration Next navigation step General Settings Next navigation step Manage GSDO Groups End of the navigation path and click the Activity icon.

    2. Choose Assign GSDOs, the added GSDO is present in the list.

      • User Role: A specific User Role can be maintained which is checked to link to the designated system.

      • SAP System Alias: Add the Provider System's name.

    4. Select the System Alias and click Assign User Roles: User Roles can be defined here.

      • Blank: Refers to All Roles.

  7. Configuring Destination Finder:

    The Provider systems configured from SOA Manager have to be entered in the configuration of the Destination Finder so that during runtime, SAP Gateway can select the right provider system for a given system alias. This activity allows you to define RFC destinations that point to relevant SAP business systems. If an RFC destination points to an SAP system alias that system alias points to the corresponding SAP business system.

    Note

    Only RFC destinations of connection type 3 (Connection to ABAP System) can be used.

    1. In transaction SPRO open the SAP Reference IMG and navigate to: Start of the navigation path SAP NetWeaver Next navigation step SAP Gateway Next navigation step Former Development Next navigation step Generic Channel Next navigation step  Configuration Next navigation step Connection Settings Next navigation step SAP Gateway to SAP System Next navigation step Manage RFC Destinations End of the navigation path and click the Activity icon.

    2. Create a New RFC connection by specifying the RFC Destination and Connection Type.

    3. Save the new RFC connection.

    5. Execute the Manage System Aliases IMG Activity.

    6. Create a new System Alias by selecting the New Entries button.
