Adapter properties and commands

This section lists the properties supported by the adapter.

Host name

The host name or SAP route string of the SAP R/3 server to connect using the Host ID (-H) adapter command. Use SAP Logon or the SAPGUI parameter.

The corresponding adapter command is -H (or - HOST) host_name

Client number

This adapter command is used to specify the client number in the SAP R/3 system for connecting. Typically, this client number is specified in the SAP R/3 login window whenever the user log into your R/3 system.

The corresponding adapter command is -C (or - CLIENT) client_number

System ID

This adapter command is used to specify the system number of the SAP R/3 system to which to connect using the System ID. This adapter command may be required for connection. Use the value as indicated for system number in SAP Logon or SAPGUI (for example, 00).

The corresponding adapter command is -S(or - SYSTEMID) sys_numbe

User

This adapter command is required for SAP R/3 system connection when calling a BAPI.

Specify the SAP R/3 username for login to the SAP R/3 system using the User ID (-U) adapter command.. The user is typically a CPIC user. See your Basis team, or SAP User Authorizations documentation for additional information.

The corresponding adapter command is -USER usr_id|@full_path
Note: @full_path can be used to accesses a security file, which is used to store user IDs, with the specified name in the specified directory. (By default, the directory is where the map is located).
Password

This adapter command is required for SAP connection for BAPI sources and all targets. Specify the password assigned to the username for authorization for the SAP R/3 system using this adapter command.

The corresponding adapter command is -PWS (or - PASSWORD) pwd|@full_path

Note: @full_path can be used to accesses a security file, which is used to store passwords, with the specified name in the specified directory. (By default, the directory is where the map is located.)
BAPI Function Module
This adapter command is used to specify the BAPI function module to be invoked in the SAP R/3 system connected to. The function module specified is used to generate the JSON schemas using the different function parameters given below:
  • Import Parameters
  • Export Parameters
  • Changing Parameters
  • Changing Parameters

The corresponding adapter command is -FM (or - FUNCTIONMODULE) bapi_function_module.

BAPI Object Type

This property is used to filter the BAPI function modules in LINK based on the categories of BAPIs. It is not required to be specified while using the adapter command line.

BAPI function module filter

This property is used in LINK to specify a string that appears in the module name to reduce the number of modules listed. Filtering the module list will reduce the time it takes to retrieve the list. However, it is not required to be specified while using the adapter command line.
