Procedure documentationConfiguring BPM-BW Connectivity Locate this document in the navigation structure

 

To be able to extract data from processes modeled with SAP NetWeaver Business Process management (BPM) and load the data in SAP NetWeaver Business Warehouse, you need to connect both systems. You connect the BW system and the Application Server Java (AS Java) where the process model is deployed. The connectivity to BW is based on UDI (Universal Data Integration), which provides universal connectivity to BW.

To configure connectivity between the BPM and BW system, you create a TCP/IP RFC destination in the BW system and configure the SAP Java Resource Adapter (JRA) in the AS Java.

Prerequisites

You have created the necessary user for the BW system. For more information about users, see User Management on SAP Help Portal under   http://help.sap.com   SAP NetWeaver   SAP NetWeaver 7.0/7.01   SAP Library   SAP NetWeaver Library   Administrator's Guide   SAP NetWeaver Security Guide   Security Guides for SAP NetWeaver According to Usage Types   Security Guide for Usage Type BI   Security Guide for SAP NetWeaver BI   User Administration and Authentication   User Management  .

Procedure

1. Create a Dedicated RFC Destination in the BW system

For more information, see Customizing for Business Warehouse under   UDI Settings by Purpose   UD Connect Settings   Establish the RFC Destination for the J2EE Engine  .

To execute the described steps, you can use transaction SM59 in the BW system.

2. Configure the SAP JRA in the AS Java
  1. Open SAP NetWeaver Administrator using the following URL: http://<host>:<port>/nwa and log on with your credentials.

  2. Navigate to   Configuration Management   Infrastructure   and choose Application Resources.

  3. From the Show dropdown menu, select Resource Adapters and then from the Resource List select SAPJavaResourceAdapter15.

  4. On the Properties tab page under Resource Details, specify the necessary details about the SAP JRA.

    Note Note

    Make sure that the ProgramID value is the same as the one you defined for the RFC destination and enter the username and password of a user who can access the BW system.

    End of the note.
  5. Choose the Save pushbutton.

Result

You have configured the connection between the BPM and BW systems. You can test the connection from the BW system.
