This topic describes the ConnectionSpec and the connection
instance properties that affect outbound processing.
When using the Common Client Interface (CCI) to
interact with an SAP application, the adapter (???) must establish
a connection to the SAP application’s resource manager using the
ConnectionFactory. The Connection object represents the actual connection
to SAP and is used for subsequent interactions with SAP, such as
creating, setting, and sending business objects.
The ConnectionSpec object serves the following purposes:
- Used by an application component to pass
connection request-specific properties to the getConnection method.
- Defines the connection request information, that is, the user
name, password, and language properties.
Note that the values of these properties are not configured
by the user via the WebSphere Process Server administrative console,
but rather are passed by the client connection via the adapter’s
CCI record. This interface allows a J2EE-based application to connect
to and access the SAP Software back-end system. The client interface
manages the flow of data between the client application and the
back-end system and does not have any visibility into what either
the container or the application server are doing with the adapter.
The following table, "ConnectionSpec properties," describes
the configuration properties supported in the ConnectionSpec:
