Checking the existing configuration of an SAP alias

If the SapConnectionService is licensed and installed as an add-on to the Lobster Integration Server, access to a specific SAP system has been configured via an SAP alias in the configuration file ./etc/sap.xml. Here is an example of this XML section.

<Call name="initPool">
	<Arg>
		<New class="com.ebd.hub.services.sap.SapSettings">
			<Set name="alias">sap</Set>
			<Set name="allowGrowing">true</Set>
			<Set name="host">192.168.130.236</Set>
			<Set name="system">00</Set>
			<Set name="user">MY_USER</Set>
			<Set name="password">MY_PASSW</Set>
			<Set name="minSize">1</Set>
			<Set name="idleTime">300000</Set>
			<Set name="client">000</Set>
			<Set name="unicode">False</Set>
			<Call name="setRequestServerSettings">
				<Arg>192.168.130.236</Arg>
				<Arg>sapgw00</Arg>
				<Arg>LOBSTER_T</Arg>
			</Call>
			<Set name="language">D</Set>
		</New>
	</Arg>
</Call>

The Call section configures the request server for the SAP alias sap. The request server of the Lobster Integration Server registers itself at the SAP system as a 'registered server program' with the program ID LOBSTER_T (2).

In the SAP system, in SM59 (3), a RFC destination with name LOBSTERTESTSYSTEM and connection type T has been defined, see (1).

Checking the existence of the DTD file

The XML file used to define the interface of the RFC to be provided must comply with a specific structure defined by a DTD file. This DTD file is expected under path and name ./etc/dtd/sap_rfc_configure_1_0.dtd. If this file does not exist in your system, please contact our support staff.
