Configuring CAF Runtime Properties for BW Integration (SAP Library - Developing, Configuring, and Adapting Applications)

Configuring CAF Runtime Properties for BW Integration

1. Logon to the CAF J2EE Visual Administrator tool:

○ On Windows run:

\usr\sap\<SAP System ID>\JC<instance no>\j2ee\admin\go.bat

○ On UNIX run:

/usr/sap/<SAP System ID>/JC<instance no>/j2ee/admin/go.sh

2. In the Connect to SAP J2EE Engine window select Default and choose Connect.

3. In the login prompt, enter the password for the Administrator user and choose Connect.

4. Open the Configuration Adapterservice (in <server name> → Services).

5. In the Display Configuration tab page, navigate to the application configuration properties:

apps → sap.com → caf~runtime~ear → appcfg → Propertysheet application.global.properties

6. Switch to Edit mode.

7. Inspect the configuration properties and make the necessary changes. Usually, only the following properties need to be modified:

Field	Value
CAF_BW_INTEGRATION_ENABLED	true
DELETION_REGRISTRATION_ENABLED	true
CAF_BW_DATASOURCE_NAME_PREFIX	<sid>
CAF_BW_SYSTEMS_TIMEZONE_DIFFERENCE	You must specify if there is a difference between the time zones on the J2EE Engine and the BW system. For example, the J2EE engine is located in the time zone GMT+2 and the BW server in time zone GMT+1. The difference is therefore +1.

8. Do the following to configure the Secure Network Communication (SNC) only if you are using SSO with external systems:

○ From the left pane, open services for the server node with caf/runtime/connectivity/impl

○ Choose:

jco.client.snc_lib = [snc library] or optionally jco.client.snc_myname = [local snc name]

Possible libraries are:

■ …\SECUDE\SECUDE for R3\secude.dll for the SECUDE installation

■ …\SAPCryptolib\\sapcrypto.dll for the SAPCryptolib installation

Example

If the SNC is set up with a certificate, then the jco.client.snc_myname is:

CN=XYZ, O=SAP-AG, C=DE then jco.client.snc_myname=p:CN=XYZ, O=SAP-AG, C=DE

9. Save changes and restart the application.
