The basic steps for installing the adapter are the same for all WebSphere® Adapters. You can install the adapter either by using a graphical user interface or by performing a silent installation. After performing the common installation steps, you must also perform installation steps specific to WebSphere Adapter for SAP Software.

Before you begin

Review the installation prerequisites.

How to perform this task

  1. Install the adapter using the basic installation instructions, which are common to all adapters. These steps are located in the Installing section of Installing IBM WebSphere Adapters.
  2. Perform the following steps, which are specific to WebSphere Adapter for SAP Software.
    1. Copy the dependencies libraries to the bin subdirectory of the WebSphere Process Server or WebSphere Enterprise Service Bus installation directory.

      The installation directory is typically in the runtimes\bi_v6 directory of the WebSphere Integration Developer installation directory.

      For z/OS®, add the files to the ${WAS_INSTALL_ROOT}/lib directory.

      Table 1. Files to be installed
      Operating system Files to be installed
      Windows® Any *.dll files that come with the SAP Jco download from the SAP Web site
      Unix (including Unix System Services on z/OS) Any *.so or *.o files that come with the SAP Jco download from the SAP Web site
    2. For Windows environments only, install the msvcp71.dll and msvcr71.dll files in the Windows system path.
    3. Install the SAP Java™ Connector interface (sapjco.jar) to the lib subdirectory of the WebSphere Process Server or WebSphere Enterprise Service Bus installation directory.

      For z/OS, add ${WAS_INSTALL_ROOT}/lib/sapjco.jar to WAS_SERVER_ONLY_server_region_classpath

  3. Make sure you know the following information for accessing the SAP application:
    • SAP user name
    • SAP password
    • SAP host name (or IP address)
    • SAP system number (usually 00)
    • SAP client number (usually 100)

Result

You can view the installed files and directories, all of which have the installation directory as their root. If you accepted the default installation location, the RAR file is placed in one of the following paths. The second path represents the version of the adapter that supports J2C local transactions.
