Connector transport files

The IBM WebSphere Business Integration Adapter for mySAP.com includes seven connector transport files. Modifications required by the adapter are handled by these connector transport files. The Primary, Utilities, and Request transport files are required.

The following is a list of the SAP R/3 version 3.x connector transport files. To ensure that all necessary tables are created before the data for those tables is added, you must install the transports in the order listed. These files can be found in \connectors\SAP\dependencies\transports_4x.

The functionality provided by the Primary, Utilities, Request, and Delivery transport files make up the runtime components. The Tools_Maintenance and Tools_Development transport files can be installed at anytime after the required transport files are installed. They are not required for your runtime environment.

4_Primary
This transport file contains the development objects, which should be loaded only once into the system. It contains the number range objects, the development classes, the dynamic transaction declaration include program as well as the restriction include program, which can be used to make customer-specific changes to the triggering logic.
Important:
If you apply this transport file to a system that already has the connector running on it, the contents of the transport file may overwrite changes that were made to the existing environment.
4_Utilities
This client-independent transport file contains objects and functionality that are shared among the request, delivery, development, and maintenance components. For example, it contains the log and data elements.
4_Request
This client-independent transport file contains the functionality required to support business object request operations.
4_Delivery
This client-independent transport file contains the functionality required to support event delivery operations including event triggering and event polling.
4_Number Range
This client-dependent transport file contains the four number ranges in their initial state. You can use these intervals or create the number range intervals themselves.

Attention: Reimporting the Number Range transport file initializes your existing number range intervals for the connector. This corrupts the data in the connector's log, current event, future event, and archive tables if those tables are not refreshed before reusing.

This transport file can be installed at any time after the Primary transport has been installed.

4_Tools_Maintenance
This client-independent transport file contains the functionality required to support maintenance operations such as displaying the log statistics and event tables.
4_Tools_Development
This client-independent transport file contains the functionality required to support the development of objects.
