Configuration Details on Interacting with SAP Events 
The following configuration data needs to be used to interact with SAP events via the XBP 3.0 interface.
XBP event control rules control which events are raised in SAP CPS when an event is raised in SAP.
Setting up connection information
Tab |
Field |
Description |
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 |
Connect String |
RFC connection definition used to connect to the SAP System via SAP Java Connector (JCo). |
SAP System |
Job Handling Enabled |
Is job handling enabled for this SAP System, if enabled the intercepted or all jobs are shown in the job monitor. |
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 |
Description |
The description of the SAP System. |
Comment |
Comment |
A comment about the SAP System. |
Setting up client/username combinations
At least one is required, one client/username combination must be configured as 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 |
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 |
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 |
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 empty, the highest available interface version is used. |
Mapping SAP CPS Events to SAP Events

Field |
Description |
XBP Event Control Rules |
SAP Event Id |
The SAP Event Id |
XBP Event Control Rules |
SAP Event Parameter |
The parameter of the SAP event |
XBP Event Control Rules |

XBP Event Control Rules |
