Configuring Resource Adapters and JCA Connection Factories in NWALocate this document in the navigation structure

Use

You use a resource adapter and a connection factory that are provided in the SAP NetWeaver Administrator (NWA) as an alternative to configure specific policies of sender and receiver RFC communication channels. In the application resources, which you configure in SAP NWA, you provide concrete settings such as user credentials to connect to the business systems as well as the concrete location (host name and port number) of the business system in the system landscape directory.

Prerequisites

To configure application resources you must log on to the NWA with a user that is assigned to the NWA_SUPERADMIN role or to the group of administrators.
