A Connection object contains the parameters that make the communication between the Agent and the target system possible. These parameters (target system endpoint, login data and so on) are required to authenticate on and connect to the target cloud solution.

As an administrator user, you create the SAP BTP Connection objects that provide the log in data required to establish the connection to the SAP BTP system.

Tip:

To configure this Connection object you will need the authentication data (credentials, endpoints, and so forth) that enable the login to the target cloud solution. You can get this data from the team in your organization that is responsible for maintaining the target cloud solution.

If you use tokens for the authentication, make sure you create them first on you SAP BTP environment. For more information, please refer to the official SAP BTP documentation.

This page includes the following:

Adding a SAP BTP Connection Object

You have two options:
- Right-click anywhere on the list and select Add > Add Object.
- Click the Add Object button on the toolbar.
On the Add Object dialog, start typing the name of the relevant integration in the Search field.
Select the corresponding Connection object and click Add. The Object Name dialog is displayed.
