Installing and configuring the connector

Prerequisites for installation

Installing the connector component

Configuring the connector

Connector startup

Upgrading the connector

Upgrading to the Java-based connector

This chapter describes the installation and configuration of the connector component of the IBM WebSphere Business Integration Adapter for mySAP.com (SAP R/3 Version 4.x). This chapter assumes that all the necessary files were installed when the WebSphere business integration system was installed. For information about installing these, see the WebSphere Business Integration Adapters Implementation Guide for MQ Integrator, or, for the WebSphere Interchange Server, see the System Installation Guide for UNIX or for Windows.

After completing the connector installation procedure described in this chapter, you have the option of configuring the connector or installing the default ABAP Extension Module. You do not need to install the ABAP Extension Module before configuring the connector.

This chapter covers installation issues only for the connector component. For installation information specific to one of the connector's modules, see the configuration chapter specific to that module.

Important:
If you are upgrading versions of the connector, you must replace the connector Java Archive files (.jar). You also need to upgrade the connector transport files as well as any business object transports that you have previously installed. Depending on changes made to the connector, you may need to load a new copy of the CN_SAP.txt file into your repository. See the Release Notes for more information.
