Create a New SAP Endpoint

Overview

You can use the Components palette in the Camel editor to add SAP components to a route with the help of the Edit SAP Connection Configuration dialog.

[Note]Note

If you are using the SAP Connection view, remember to paste the requisite SAP connection configuration data into your Blueprint XML or Spring XML code.

Prerequisites

You must already have created some SAP destination connections and/or server connections with the help of the Edit SAP Connection Configuration dialog.

[Note]Note

If you are using the SAP Connection view, export this configuration to a file of the appropriate type (Blueprint XML or Spring XML).

Procedure

To create a new SAP endpoint, perform the following steps:

  1. It is assumed that you already have a Fuse project and a Camel XML file to work with (which could either be in Blueprint XML or Spring XML format).

  2. Open your Camel XML file in the Camel editor. If you have already installed the JBoss Fuse SAP Tool Suite, you should be able to see the SAP components under the Components palette in the Camel editor. The following SAP components are provided by the tool suite:

    • SAP IDoc Destination

    • SAP IDoc List Destination

    • SAP IDoc List Server

    • SAP qRFC Destination

    • SAP Queued IDoc Destination

    • SAP Queued IDoc List Destination

    • SAP sRFC Destination

    • SAP sRFC Server

    • SAP tRFC Destination

    • SAP tRFC Server

    In the Design view of the Camel editor, drag one of these components onto the canvas to create a new SAP endpoint in the current camelContext.

    [Note]Note

    The SAP Netweaver component does not belong to the JBoss Fuse SAP Tool Suite. It is hosted in the Apache Camel project.

  3. Switch to the Source view of the Camel editor, by clicking on the Source tab at the bottom of the canvas. In this view, you can see the XML source of the routes.

  4. When specifying an SAP endpoint URI, you must embed either a destination name or a server connection name in the URI format. For example, the sap-srfc-destination component has the following URI format:

    sap-srfc-destination:destinationName:rfcName

    To reference a particular destination, use the value of the relevant entry element's key attribute as the destinationName in this URI.
