Creating SAP Connectors on the SmartGateway Platform

Notes
Note
Each account and user will have the ability to create SAP connectors. The following will show how a SAP Connector is created from an Administrator account, non-administrator users can also create SAP Connectors following these steps.

Enter the SmartGateway platform with your username and password:



Go to the "USERS" section, presented on the menu button (upper-left corner and click the icon with three horizontal lines).
Click on the name of user you want to assign the new SAP Connector to, or click the right-pointing arrow in the "Actions" section.


Select the "SAP Connectors" option and click the "Add SAP Connector" button.


The process of creating workspace consists of 4 instances:

It begins with the creation and definition of the SAP Connector, you will need to fill the following information:

  1. SAP Connector Name (Topic Prefix): This is the name used to identify the connector and will also serve as the prefix for every topic sent through it.

  2. SAP Environment: Specify the SAP environment to which this connector will be added.

  3. SAP Connector Username: Assign a username that will be used in the SAP RFC configuration.

  4. SAP Connector Password: Assign a password for the previously created user; this password will be used in the SAP RFC configuration.

Be sure to save the username and password information, as these cannot be changed later. Neither you nor the Onibex team will be able to access the password once it has been created.

There is an option to download the password in .txt format — we strongly recommend doing so to ensure you have a secure copy.


After adding the required information, click Next.

In the Connection Details section, select the deployment type: Confluent Cloud or Confluent Platform.

If you select Confluent Cloud, enter the following information:

  • Bootstrap Server number

  • Schema Registry URL

  • API Key and API Secret

  • Schema Registry Key and Schema Registry Secret


If you select Confluent Platform, enter the following information:

  • Security protocol: select between "Without security", "Plain Text" or "SASL_SSL"

  • Bootstrap Server number

  • Schema Registry URL

  • API Key and API Secret - only in "Plain Text" or "SASL_SSL"

  • Schema Registry Key and Schema Registry Secret - only in "Plain Text" or "SASL_SSL"

Next, in the Topic Settings section, enter the required information and click Next.
The system will automatically populate some default values, which can be modified as needed. These include:

  • Number of partitions

  • Number of replicas

  • Retention period (in days)



Finally, in the Advanced Settings section, select the desired resources for the SAP Connector container. The available resource settings are:

  • Request CPU

  • Request Memory

  • Limit CPU

  • Limit Memory



After that, click on "Finish," and you will be redirected to the "Users" section where the SAP Connector will be created.

To access your new SAP Connector, click on the username or the action button, then navigate to the "SAP Connectors" section.

You will now see a list with your new connector. To access it, click the "GO" button.


Here, you can access information related to your SAP Connector and retrieve the URL needed for the RFC connection in SAP.
