Configuring and running the SAP Discovery data provider
Configuring the data provider
To configure the data provider:
- In the Administration application go to Integration > Data Providers and open the SAP Discovery data provider for editing.
- Create a new configuration in the Configurations grid.
- On the General page:
- In the Data Gateway field, you can select a remote worker that will run the import workflow. By default, the workflow is run by the Application Server worker.
- Make sure the Enable import checkbox is selected.
- Use the Host field to enter the IP address of the SAP system to be scanned.
- Enter the system number of the SAP application server in the System Number field.
- In the Client Number field, specify which client within the SAP system should be used for the connection.
- In the Account and Password fields, you need to provide the credentials that will be used to access the SAPControl web service interface. Make sure that the user has sufficient rights to access SAPControl.
The host, system number and client number data will be used to generate a URL for obtaining the WSDL interface definition.
- Save the configuration.
- Run the Enable and Activate actions for the data provider.
You can create several configurations to import data from multiple SAP systems.
