Review the software and system requirements for using the
SAP plug-in for IBM® Rational® Integration Tester.
SAP systems and product libraries
The following SAP systems are compatible with the
Rational Integration Tester SAP
plug-in:
- SAP R/3 4.7
- SAP ECC 5.0
- SAP ECC 6.0
To connect to supported SAP systems, Library
Manager must be configured with the required SAP libraries. On Microsoft Windows systems, the required libraries are
usually located in
C:\Program Files\SAPJCo.
Specifically, the SAP JCo (Java™ Connector)
v3.x JAR file,
sapjco3.jar, is required.
Note: In addition to the JAR file, the sapjco3.dll file
must be present within the system path; for example, C:\WINDOWS\System32.
To
enable the use of SAP IDocs within
Rational Integration Tester,
the SAP IDoc Connector 3.x JAR file,
sapidoc3.jar,
is required.
Note: Default locations for the specified
libraries can be modified by using Library Manager.
Note: The internal version of sapjco3.jar and sapidoc3.jar must
be 7.11.x. To determine the internal version, extract the JAR files
and use a text editor to open META-INF/MANIFEST.MF.
The internal version is recorded in a line similar to the following: Specification-Version:
7.11.1.
The SAP JCo and IDoc
libraries can be downloaded from the SAP Service Marketplace website.
SAP application server requirements
Before you use Rational Integration Tester with
your SAP system, you need an SAP user ID and password that enable
access to a dedicated SAP application server. You need authorization
from your SAP system administrator to execute remote function calls
(RFCs) and access tables in SAP, which is required to extract metadata
from the Business Object Repository (BOR) to enable testing of Business
Application Programming Interfaces (BAPIs) by using Rational Integration Tester.
Specifically, ensure that the following RFCs can be
executed successfully from transaction SE37 in your SAP GUI: SWO_QUERY_API_OBJTYPES
and SWO_QUERY_API_METHODS.
Your login parameters
specify the correct language. BAPIs specific to a particular language
are not retrieved if you log into SAP with a different language.
