Setting up connection information

Tab

Field

Description

Partition

Partition of the SAP system

SAP System

Name

The name for the SAP System. This name is also used to create the corresponding SAP process server and queue. For instance, if the name of the SAP System definition is TST, then the created process server gets the name TST_ProcessServer and the queue is named TST_Queue.

SAP System

App, server load balancing

When this is enabled, SAP CPS will balance the load across application servers.

SAP System

RFC Connect String

RFC connection definition used to connect to the SAP System via SAP Java Connector (JCo).

SAP System

J2EE URL

The URL used by the JXBP and PI/XI interfaces for connecting to the JAVA stack of SAP NetWeaver

SAP System

Job Handling

Job handling allows you to specify which jobs the job control rules should apply to. If you set it to Intercepted, only jobs intercepted by SAP will be taken into account. If you set it to All, SAP CPS will attempt to apply the rules on all jobs in the SAP System. Note that if you want to just monitor jobs, this setting shouldbe set to All.

SAP System

Default Job Time Zone

The time zone to use for jobs that run on (or are intercepted on) this SAP System.

SAP System

Application

The name of the application used to group this object.

SAP System

Setting up client/username combinations

At least one client/username combination is required and you must specify one combination as being the default.

Tab

Field

Description

XBP

Client number

SAP client number as a three digit number.

XBP

Username

The RFC user name. This user needs certain authorizations in the SAP System, as described below in the Reference section under Required Authorizations of the Remote System User. Of course it is possible to use here the same user as for XAL and XMW. In this case the user needs all authorizations required by these interfaces.

XBP

Password

Password of the RFC user.

XBP

Check Connection Settings

Allows you to check that the RFC Connect String, Client Number, Username and Password are correct.

XBP

Enabled

Allows you to disable the client, keeping the settings for future use

XBP

Default client

Specify if this client is the default client. The default client is used by the SAP process server for the standard connection to the SAP System to start/monitor/intercept jobs. Please make sure that only one client is marked as default. If the default client check box is selected in multiple XBP interfaces, the one with the lowest client number is used by default when required. Yet to avoid confusion it is better to make sure that only one client is designated as default client.

XBP

Audit level

The XBP audit level (the audit log is visible via SAP transaction RZ15) of the interface, and is an integer with the value range of 0-3, with higher numbers denoting more verbose audit level; only to be used when SAP Support instructs you to do so.

XBP

SAP language

The language that the SAP process server uses to connect to the SAP System. This is also the default step language for ABAP jobs, if the corresponding parameter in the job definition is left empty.

XBP

Description

the description to use for this rule. If the description is not set, the rules are named <Client number>/<Username>.

XBP

Max. RFC connections

Specifies how many RFC connections the SAP process server opens for this client. If omitted, the number of connections are not limited. The SAP process server uses internally a connection pool, so the open connections are reused, and also closed if they are idle for a certain amount of time.

XBP

Interface version

The version of the XBP interface that the SAP process server should use. If this field is left on automatic, the highest available interface version is used. Note that older 7.0 SAP releases will report the highest version as being XBP 2.0 although XBP 3.0 is available. It is highly recommended to upgrade to the latest Support Package, or at the least Support Package 14.
