CH A P T E R1Introducing the SAP AdapterThis chapter provides an overview of the SAP Adapter and its requirements: Overview Terms to Know Minimum Software Requirements for TES MasterOverviewThe integration of Cisco Tidal Enterprise Scheduler (TES) with SAP allows you to schedule jobs in theSAP environment via TES. The TES SAP interface connects with the SAP system via a networkconnection managed by the SAP RFC (Remote Function Call) interface.To facilitate job creation and control in the SAP environment TES uses provided by SAP BAPI functionscalled the XBP (eXternal Background Processing) API.Java connector software provided by SAP, called the JCO 3.0 component, must be installed on the TESmaster machine. SAP JCO 3.0 is necessary for a Java application (like TES ) to work with SAP.The SAP adapter is part of the regular TES installation; however, it can only be used if the appropriatelicense is applied to TES. Though no additional installation is required, you must perform someconfiguration procedures.Terms to Know Application Server – A machine that runs an SAP task. SAP Instance – A consolidation of many SAP objects and processes on one machine, used toprocess SAP transactions on one or more SAP application servers. SAP Client – An independent participant in an SAP system. SAP Object – An element of the SAP development environment, such as ABAP programs ortransaction definitions.Cisco Tidal Enterprise Scheduler SAP Adapter Guide6.2.1 SP31-7
Chapter 1Introducing the SAP AdapterMinimum Software Requirements for TES MasterMinimum Software Requirements for TES MasterThe minimum software releases for the TES SAP R/3 adapter implementation are: SAP R/3 versions 4.5, 4.6C, 4.7x SAP ERP 2004, 2005 SAP Basis 7.01, 7.02, 7.30, 7.1 PI, 7.4 TES v6.0 SAP JCO 3.0 Business Warehouse (BW) 3.1 and 3.5 BI 7.0 For Windows installations, Microsoft Visual C runtime components 2005 or above are required. Java 7Refer to the Cisco Tidal Enterprise Scheduler Compatibility Guide specific version support and acomplete list of TES hardware and software requirements.NoteFor Windows installations: The SAP JCO library require Microsoft Visual C runtime components,2005 or above. If your system does not include these components and there is an error starting the SAPAdapter, you may need to install the runtime components from Microsoft. You can check for theexistence of file: mfc71u.dll (a component of the C runtime components), on your system to verifythis prerequisite. The file needs to be in the system library path accessible to the adapter (e.g. either inthe windows system path or accessible via the PATH environment). These downloads can be found from Microsoft's site given an internet search from your browser.Cisco Tidal Enterprise Scheduler SAP Adapter Guide1-86.2.1 SP3
CH A P T E R2Configuring the SAP AdapterOverviewCreating an SAP job within TES is similar to creating any other TES job. The differences are in theconfiguration prior to creating SAP jobs, and in the additional information required for a complete SAPjob definition (such as job steps).The SAP Adapter software is installed as part of a standard installation of Enterprise Scheduler.However, before the SAP adapter can be used, the following installation and configuration proceduresmust be completed: Prerequisites SAP Configuration– Installing SAP JCO– Defining a Security Policy– Defining SAP Users– Authorizing TES Users to Run SAP Jobs– Licensing an Adapter– Defining SAP Connections– Configuring Default System Settings for SAP– Configuring Logging in SAP Process Chain JobsSee Configuring service.props for information about general and adapter-specific properties that can beset to control things like logging and connection properties.PrerequisitesThe following prerequisites must be completed before TES can successfully work with SAP jobs: The name(s) and password(s) of at least one SAP user must be defined in the SAP instance(s) thatTES uses. The SAP profile you use for TES’s SAP account must have the objects and authorizations exactlyas specified.The name(s) and password(s) of at least one SAP user must be defined in the SAP instance(s) that youwill be using to run Enterprise Scheduler jobs. The SAP account(s) designated for use by EnterpriseScheduler must have the following objects assigned:Cisco Tidal Enterprise Scheduler SAP Adapter Guide6.2.1 SP32-9

SAP JCO 3.0 is necessary for a Java application (like the TES) to workwith SAP. This installation is described in Installing SAP JCO. If using logon groups for your connection, the proper SAP entries must be in the services file of eachmachine (client and master) that connects to the logon group. There is SAP specific security category for creating and editing SAP jobs. Only a Superuser hasdefault access to all security functions in TES. If needed, different security policies with varyingauthorized functions can be created to provide different levels of access for a variety of users.SAP ConfigurationCreating an SAP job within the Scheduler is similar to creating any other Scheduler job. The differencesare in the configuration prior to creating SAP jobs, and in the additional information required for acomplete SAP job definition (such as job steps).Scheduler can launch CCMS jobs including ABAP programs, external programs and externalcommands. For SAP Business Warehouse (BW), you can also schedule infopackages and process chainsas Scheduler jobs. You can define and maintain the details of a job definition for each step throughScheduler. Scheduler can also launch, monitor and manage jobs that already exist in SAP.Before creating SAP jobs within Scheduler, certain parameters must be configured so that Scheduler cancommunicate with the SAP instance.The SAP adapter software is already installed as part of a normal installation of TES. However, you mustperform the following steps to license and configure the adapter before you can run SAP jobs. Each ofthese steps is described in this section.Cisco Tidal Enterprise Scheduler SAP Adapter Guide2-106.2.1 SP3
Chapter 2Configuring the SAP AdapterSAP ConfigurationTo license and configure the adapter:Step 1Download and install the Java connector software provided by SAP, called the JCO 3.0 component. SAPJCO 3.0 is necessary for a Java application (like the TES) to work with SAP. Refer to “Installing SAPJCO”.Step 2Create or modify security policies to assign to user definitions that allow users to create and edit SAPjobs. Refer to “Defining a Security Policy”.Step 3Create one or more user definitions in TES with access to the SAP instance using SAP user names andpasswords provided by the SAP administrator. See “Defining SAP Users” section on page 2-13.Step 4Authorize TES users to run SAP jobs on behalf of these SAP runtime users. Refer to “Authorizing TESUsers to Run SAP Jobs”.Step 5License the connection(s) to the SAP instance. You cannot define an SAP connection until you haveapplied the SAP license from Tidal Software. Business Warehouse functions require an additionallicense. Refer to “Licensing an Adapter”.Step 6Define an SAP connection so the master can communicate with the SAP instance. Refer to “DefiningSAP Connections”.Step 7Configure the defaults for handling SAP jobs. Individual jobs can override the default system settings asnecessary. Refer to “Configuring Default System Settings for SAP”.Step 8Configure logging for the SAP process chain jobs. See Configuring Logging in SAP Process Chain Jobs,page 2-23.Installing SAP JCOThe master requires Java connector (JCO) software from SAP. SAP’s JCO middleware allows a Javaapplication to communicate with an SAP system. Each operating system requires its own version of theJCO that can be downloaded from SAP.To download SAP JCO:Step 1In your web browser, go to the following URL: http://service.sap.com/patches.A Client Authentication dialog displays to request an authentication certificate.Step 2If you have such a certificate, select it and click OK.ORIf you do not have a certificate, click OK to display the Enter Network Password dialog.Step 3Enter the user name and password supplied by SAP into the respective text fields and click OK.The SAP Support Packages and Patches Web page displays.Step 4Navigate to 3.x SAP Java Connector Download Page.Step 5Various operating systems are listed. Click on the appropriate operating system to access its archive filefor downloading. Follow the instructions for installing the JCO that are included in the archive file.Step 6In the initial setup of SAP JCO 3.0, two files from the SAP JCO.zip file are necessary: sapjco3.jar (Windows and Linux) sapjco3.dll (Linux: libsapjco3.so)Cisco Tidal Enterprise Scheduler SAP Adapter Guide6.2.1 SP32-11
Chapter 2Configuring the SAP AdapterSAP ConfigurationStep 7After installing the JCO, add the {sapjco-install-path}/sapjco3.jar} to your CLASSPATH environmentvariable, and then specify the path to the location when you have JCO 3.x libraries installed. You may need to reboot your system.Defining a Security PolicyAccess to the SAP environment is controlled by assigning an SAP security policy with specifiedprivileges to designated user accounts. The scheduling administrator should create a new security policyin TES as described in the “Users” chapter of the TES User Guide, that in addition to the normal userprivileges includes the capability to create and/or edit SAP jobs and events. A user whose assignedsecurity policy does not include SAP privileges cannot create events and/or run SAP jobs.You can create a new security policy or modify an existing security policy in TES that includes theauthority to add, edit, view and delete SAP jobs, variants and events.To grant access privileges:Step 1Step 2In the Navigator pane, select Security Policies to display the Security Policies pane.Select a security policy for the SAP privileges and double-click on it to display its Security PolicyDefinition dialog.Step 3Scroll down the list of function categories and double-click on the SAP Jobs, SAP Events or SAPVariants category to display the available functions.Step 4Select the desired job privileges, then click OK.A check mark appears next to the SAP function category indicating that one or more functions areselected within the category.Cisco Tidal Enterprise Scheduler SAP Adapter Guide2-126.2.1 SP3
Chapter 2Configuring the SAP AdapterSAP ConfigurationIf needed, different security policies with varying authorized functions can be created to providedifferent levels of access for a variety of users.For more information about the Security Policy Definition dialog, refer to the “Users” chapter inthe TES User Guide.Defining SAP UsersBefore you can create SAP jobs, a user with access to the SAP instance must be defined to TES.TES cannot run any SAP job unless it knows the user name(s) and password(s) defined in the SAPinstance. TES then interacts with SAP as that defined user, exchanging information to monitor andcontrol the execution of the SAP jobs through TES. Other users in TES are authorized to run SAP jobson behalf of SAP runtime users.Adding an SAP User to TESTo add an SAP user:Step 1From the Navigator pane, select Administration Runtime Users to display the Users pane.Step 2Click the Add buttonor right-click and select Add Runtime User from the context menu to displaythe User Definition dialog.Step 3In the User Name field, enter the user name for the account provided by your SAP Administrator foruse by TES. The Full Name field is optional. Use the Domain field for additional documentation, suchas to distinguish users with the same name that use differe
