This section lists and describes the key configuration steps for configuring the iWay Application Adapter for SAP ERP (SAP JCo 3.x) and then integrating with SAP ERP.

Service Mode

In this section, service mode functionality is described (sending documents to SAP ERP and receiving a response).

  1. Ensure that you are using a supported environment, as described in Supported Platforms Matrix.
  2. Ensure that when you install iWay Service Manager (iWay Integration Suite) you select and install the SAP ERP adapter, which is grouped under the Application Adapters category.

    For more information, see the iWay Installation and Configuration Guide.

  3. Obtain the appropriate version of the SAP Java Connector (SAP JCo) from the system administrator or SAP Service Marketplace, install SAP JCo, and then set the appropriate environment variables.

    For more information, see Installing the SAP Java Connector (SAP JCo).

  4. Verify that the SAP JCo installation works before starting iWay Service Manager (iSM).

    For more information, see Verifying the SAP Java Connector (SAP JCo).

  5. Start iWay Service Manager (iSM) and iWay Integration Tools (iIT). Use the iWay Explorer to create a target (connection) to your SAP ERP system.

    For more information, see Working With a Target.

  6. View and explore the different SAP API interface types and their objects.

    For more information, see Viewing Application System Objects.

  7. Select an object and create an XML schema.

  9. Create an XML instance document based on the created XML schema or WSDL from an iWay Business Service and populate the fields with data according to the schema description.
  10. If you are using an iWay Business Service, use the Test pane to upload or copy the XML instance document into the iWay Business Service.

    For more information, see Creating Business Services With iWay Explorer.

  11. Alternately use the Channel Builder in iWay Integration Tools (iIT) to build and deploy a simple iWay application that can be started, stopped, and monitored from iIT.

    For more information, see the iWay Integration Tools User’s Guide and iWay Integration Application User’s Guide.
