Purpose

The Connect SAPJCo rule supports the SAP Java Connector Architecture (JCo). Use it to define a connector interface between your PRPC application and an external SAP application. Connect SAPJCo rules allow PRPC applications to work with SAP R/3 (ECC) and NetWeaver systems.

TipTo generate Connect SAPJCo rules, the Connector and Metadata Accelerator requires prerequisite software provided by SAP , as well as JAR files you create based on the SAP Business API. For information on prerequisites and working with Connect SAPJCo connectors, see "Before You Begin" in the Connect SAPJCo Connectors section of the PDN article Pega Process Extender for SAP Business Suite.

Access

Use the Records Explorer to list all Connect SAPJCo rules that are available to you.

Use the Application Explorer or > Integration > Definitions > Implementations to list the Connect SAPJCo rules in your application.

Select > Integration > Connectors > Connector and Metadata Wizard to start the Connector Accelerator to create a Connect SAPJCo rule.

Development

Use the Connector and Metadata accelerator to build an SAPJCo connector. The accelerator uses the Java Reflection API to introspect the class or JavaBean's public constructors and public methods. It then generates the appropriate PRPC connectors, connector activities, classes, and properties. See About the Connector and Metadata accelerator.

The external Java class or .jar file must be on the PRPC class paths. For instructions, see PDN article About the Process Commander Class Paths.

Simulation

To debug your application, you can simulate an SAPJCo connector when the external class is unavailable or lacks a test environment. See Creating Connector Simulations.

Where referenced

Connect SAPJCo rules can be referenced in an Integrator shape (Integrator) of a flow rule, or on the Definition tab of a Data Page rule, as the source of data for the contents of the data page.

Category

Connect SAPJCo rules belong to the Integration-Connectors category. A Connect SAPJCo rule is an instance of the Rule-Connect-SAPJCo class.
