For command line-based connections, Universal Connector for SAP supports Type A (specific application server) and Type B (load balancing) RFC connections.

Supported SAP RFC Library Versions

USAP supports the latest version of SAP NW RFC (750 at the time of writing). While USAP currently works with older RFC versions, some features are not available on these versions. For example, sending an email notification after a job has finished is a feature that USAP does not support on any RFC version below 750 and if attempted on an RFC version below 750 a warning message will be printed and no email will be sent.

It should be noted that the InfoPackage functionality described in this section is specific to the InfoPackage scheduler (transaction RSA1). InfoPackages executed as processes in a Process Chain (transaction RSPC) will be monitored in the fashion described in #Process Chains. Specifically, when executed as processes in Process Chains, the backing XBP jobs associated with InfoPackage processing can optionally be monitored.

Universal Connector for SAP supports automatically selecting an appropriate model job from an SAP system without requiring a job ID on the command line for the following commands:

SAP jobs are uniquely identified by a job name/job ID pair. When these commands are issued without supplying a job ID, Universal Connector for SAP will evaluate available jobs on the SAP system and make an appropriate selection (if possible).

Two Universal Connector for SAP configuration options control model job selection when a job ID is not provided:

Note
titleNote

By default, model job selection is restricted to jobs owned by the SAP logon user provided for the command. However, you can use the USER_NAME configuration option (-selusername) to override this behavior.

The value for USER_NAME can be either a specific SAP user name or a mask used to match multiple user names. For example:

  • Specifying -selusername SMITH would restrict model job selection to jobs owned by user SMITH.
  • Specifying -selusername QA* would restrict model job selection to jobs owned by users user IDs that begin with QA.
  • Specifying -selusername * would select model jobs without restricting by owner.
