An SAP Agent serves to establish a connection between Automation Engine and SAP. Its INI file contains the connection data to a particular AE system. Connection data to an SAP system is stored in Connection objects. The Agent requires at least one Connection object which contains the SAP System user including his or her login data.
Automation Engine jobs require the indication of an Agent and a Login object with the login information determining the SAP client in which the job will be processed. SAP jobs are submitted with the context of the SAP System user but the user can be determined on Job level too (see "override Agent login" check box)
The Form view on the Process page is very useful for creating AE jobs. It provides a graphical interface in which you can easily enter scripting lines. You can also retrieve particular data from the SAP system (such as the available variants) with the SAP Agent establishing the required connection to the SAP system. User name, password and client are taken from the Connection (CONN).
