Technical Connection

An SAP Agent is used to establish the connection between the Automation Engine (AE) and SAP. Its INI file contains the connection data to a particular AE system. The connection data to your SAP system is stored in Connection objects. The Agent requires at least one Connection object, which contains the SAP system user including the corresponding login data.

An SAP job in the AE has an Agent defined for it. This job contains the credentials of the Login object that is assigned to it. Use the Override agent login information with job login option to override agent login information. Connection credentials are so overwritten by the credentials that are specified in the Login object. For details, see SAP Jobs

The Form view on the Process page of an AE job is useful as it provides a graphical interface in which you can easily enter scripting lines. For details, see Forms View on the Process Page

You can also retrieve particular data such as the available variants from your SAP system through the SAP Agent. This agent establishes the required connection to your SAP system. The Connection object provides data such as the user name, password, and client. For details, see Connection (CONN)
