SAP IBP Connection Objects

SAP IBP Agents require login data to connect to the SAP Integrated Business Planning (IBP) system. To be able to create SAP IBP Schedule Jobs and execute them on the SAP IBP system without leaving the Automation Engine, developers and object designers must assign them Connection (CONN) objects. As an administrator user, you create the SAP IBP Connection objects that provide the required connection data. For more information, see Connection (CONN).

Besides the standard object definition pages, this Connection object has an additional SAP IBP object specific page which contains a Connection and a Proxy section.
