Adjusting VTL and Groovy scripts
If you upgrade to Intrexx 8 from Intrexx version 6 or older, user-defined
Groovy scripts must be modified accordingly because the SAP JCo libraries
have changed.
Groovy
Delete the following line:
import com.sap.mw.jco.JCO;
Replace the definitions
def JCO.Client l_client = null; // CONNECTION TO AN SAP SYSTEM
def JCO.Function l_function = null; // PROXY TO AN SAP FUNCTION MODULE
def JCO.Table l_table = null; // SAP TABLE OBJECT
with
def l_client = null; // CONNECTION TO AN SAP SYSTEM
def l_function = null; // PROXY TO AN SAP FUNCTION MODULE
def l_table = null; // SAP TABLE OBJECT
SAP Portal Plugin Transport
Intrexx portals access the SAP system using an RFC API. This RFC API is
discretionary as an SAP transport and is not an official component of the
Connector for SAP.
The transport can be found here:
Installation directory adapter/sap/
(130405-POPIWAS-2010.zip).
Currently, there are two versions available:
- Version for SAP Gateway systems from Basis 6.10 (Standard) onwards
- Version for Basis 4.6 (complete API, limited functionalities)
The SAP Portal Plugin (the RFC API) must be imported into the SAP system. The
included SAP objects use the namespace
/IATL/. An
object list which accompanies the transport contains all of the transport's
objects.
|
By examining this list, make sure that the contained objects don't
conflict with your own SAP ABAP objects. Always install the transport
first of all in a test or development system and if necessary, ensure
that a defective import can be reversed.
|
|
No liability can be assumed for damages that occur due to
importing the SAP Portal Plugin.
|
After the import, create a service user for accessing SAP from the portal later.
This can take place in the same way as is usual for the typical users
ALEREMOTE or
BWREMOTE
in the SAP environment.
