SAP Connector Framework JAR-files

Hey guys,
can anyone please tell me where I can get the JAR-files for the SAP Java Connector (especially those with the package "com.sapportals.connector*".
Thanks and Best Regards,
Torben

SAP Connector Framework Libraries

I want to develop a Portal Component that uses the SAP Connector Framework. I installed the Eclipse Plugin und downloaded the libraries.zip from the EP. I can't find some libraries: GenericConnector.JAR and Connector.JAR
Could anybody tell me where to find these libraries?

Hi,
you can find the two jar files within your portal installation:
GenericConnector.JAR under ...\<SID>\j2ee\cluster\server0\bin\ext\com.sap.genericconnector
and the connector.jar file under
...\<SID>\j2ee\j2eeclient

JCO or SAP Connector Framework

Hello
I have seen in these links that JCO is deprecated:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/40/003c41325fa831e10000000a1550b0/frameset.htm
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/89/8a185c148e4f6582560a8d809210b4/content.htm
Developers are supposed to use SAP Connector Framework, but it seems that this is a Framework only useful from a Portal Application. What I want to do is to invoke RFCs in a R3 System from a webapp using struts. I have done this using JCO.
Should I implement it using another solution?
Thanks in advance

Hi Marcos,
You can, of course, use SAP JCO in simple Java Project by importing needed Jars.
I provide you a sample of connection class with method that you can use for calling a function.
You can use method "showFunctionParameters()" to test your connection...

Unable to extract connector/j jar file(mysql)

im have having a problem on extracting mysql's connector/j jar file on j2sdk1.4.0.
and may i know does sun allows windows xp users to install various kind of versions of j2sdk? for example, install j2sdk1.4.0 into c:\j2sdk1.4.0, and j2sdk1.4.2_05 into c:\j2sdk1.4.2_05?
what to do using j2sdk1.4.0 for connector/j?
i would like to know manual steps instead if automatic step provided by netbean.
i wish this problem could be solved as sonn as possible

im have having a problem on extracting mysql's
connector/j jar file on j2sdk1.4.0.I'm not sure what this means. The MySQL connector JAR isn't part of any JDK. You've got to download it and put it in your CLASSPATH.

SAP Connector Framework

Hi folks,
can someone please tell me where in the support portal I can download the file "SAPCFConnector.rar"? I can not find it manually and the search engine is really bad.
Thanks in advance for all answers!

Issue with - Connector Framework SAP EP 7.0

HI
Need assitance on usage of connector framework to connect to SAP R/3 using SSO.
I am trying to call a BAPI from a jsp iView using sap connector framework.
Release : EP (SAP NetWeaver 7.0 (2004s) SPS 12).
Steps I did so far :
1. imported following jars in my project :
a. activation.jar
b. connector.jar
c. GenericConnector.jar
d. jaas.jar
e. jta.jar
f. portal_services_api_lib.jar
2. declared import of class:
<%@ page import = "com.sapportals.portal.ivs.cg.*" %>
<%@ page import = "com.sapportals.connector.connection.IConnection" %>
<%@ page import = "com.sapportals.connector.execution.structures.*" %>
<%@ page import = "com.sapportals.connector.execution.functions.IInteraction" %>
<%@ page import = "com.sapportals.connector.execution.functions.IInteractionSpec" %>
3. appended portalapp.xml with :
<application-config>
 <property name="SharingReference" value=",com.sap.portal.htmlb,com.sap.portal.pagebuilder,com.sap.portal.themes.lafservice,com.sap.portal.navigation.service,com.sap.portal.navigation.helperservice,com.sap.portal.license.runtime,com.sap.portal.common.commonservices,SAPJ2EE::library:com.sap.portal.common,com.sap.portal.ivs.connectorservice"/>
</application-config>
4. added following code :
 IConnectorGatewayService cgService = (IConnectorGatewayService) PortalRuntime.getRuntimeResources().getService(IConnectorGatewayService.KEY);
 IConnection connection = cgService.getConnection("ABC", request);
 IInteraction ix = connection.createInteractionEx();
5. Verfied connectivity of system alias ABC with connetion test from portal.
When I test the repective iview after deployment it fails on the bold line with an error 'unable to deploy jsp'. I could verify that cgService and connection objects were initialized.
Will appreciate expert comments/suggestions on the issue.
Thanks and cheers,
Amit.

Hi,
When you select that property, you get a value field in the bottom of the screen to enter the Cutom values.
You can give the value there and click on the Set button.
Also check the dbpool properties for this error code.

SAP Connector 2 - Could not load file or assembly 'SAP

Hi all,
I've recently installed SAP .NET Connector 2 and have been developing a basic C# web form to interrogate the customers table. I have created all my code and done a successdul build. However, when I try to run the web form I get the following error:
Could not load file or assembly 'SAP.Connector, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=50436dca5c7f7d23' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.
The SAP.Connector.dll and SAP.Connector.Rfc.dll files are on both my development machine and the server I am deploying the project on. Any ideas ?
Thanks.

Fixed it myself. In the solution browser, expand the reference section and in the properties for the SAP.Connector and SAP.Connector.Rfc set the 'Copy Local' parameter from False to True. This fixes the issue.

SAP Connector no longer working after upgrade

After upgrading from EP 6.0 SP2 Patch 2 to Patch 3, our iViews using the SAP connector framework is no longer working. No connection is obtained. Even the examples in the PDK has stopped working. It seems that maybe some files have disappeared (in folder ".../server/services/eisconnector/work").
Any ideas?
Hilde

Hi Hilde,
1. please have a look in the Visual Admin Tool -> Services -> EISConnector ans see if the SAP Connector is deployed there. if you see it there, so it is deployed.
2. try to remove and add agian the SAP Connector (in the same place as from section one)
3. why dont you use the last Portal Patch and J2EE patch?
4. do you see any special exception in the Log file?
Regards,
Aviad

Hi Sanjyoti:
JCo is one of the connectors for SAP backend through any Java/JSP/Servlet based applications. You need to have the SAP JCo libraries (Jar files) with you to connect to the SAP R/3 system, ofcourse along with the connection parameters.
Here is the sample scenario where you are connecting SAP RFCs/BAPIs with JSPs:
1: first you need to manage required JCo jar files and import it into your project lib folder. this is to have the JCo api at runtime to your application
2: import the library path into your JSP page
3: write a custom method to connect to SAP with connection parameter
4: you should have an idea of which Remote_Func_Module you are connecting and the input and output attributes
5: Execute the functional module and display the results and close the connection parameters.
Its almost like connecting to a RDBMS in a general scenario.
For more information about SAPJCo:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/6f/1bd5c6a85b11d6b28500508b5d5211/content.htm

SAP Connector

Hello,
when i will make a bapi call by the sap connector framework, what i have to do? Can i take the sap connector framework wizard? But i become a error-msg:
Error This compilation unit indirectly references the missing type javax.resource.cci.ResourceAdapterMetaData (typically some required class file is referencing a type outside the classpath) BspConnectorAppConnection.java BspConnectorApp/src/com/gft/connector/connection line 0
Only the jdbc connector is default on the sap application server. When I will make a bapi call, which connector i need (java?) and i have to pay for that or not - example please?
Thanks,
Frank

Problem with addition of jar file to DC

Hi WDers,
I have a DC of type WD.
I'm trying to add com.sap.security.api.jar file to this component so that I can get IUser and work on it.
I have added this security jar file as an External jar file to the DC. But whenever I try to DC->Build, the jar entry is going away. So the Build is failing.
Can you kindly let me know why this is happening?
Or is there any other way to add a jar file so that I can use the IUser interface in my view?
Thanks in Advance
RK

Hello,
Add the Standard DC "com.sap.security.api.sda" from the SAP-JEE. This ahould solve the problem.
To do that follow the steps:
1. Go to the "DC Metadata" option available under the DC.
2. Go to "Used DCs" and choose "Add used DCs" from the context menu which appears on a right click at the Used Dcs option.
3.Select "com.sap.security.api.sda" under SAP-JEE and choose finish.
4. Build the DC to gain access to the IUser and other related classes.

Don't know how to make my main class import a jar file

OK, the title doesn't make much sense but here are my create-jar.bat and manifest files:
create-jar.bat:
jar cvmf manifest.txt dassimul-admin.jar player/ admin/ com/ connector/ common/ *.class
manifest.txt:
Main-Class: admin.DASAdmin
the problem is that in connector/ folder there is the jdbc mysql connector driver (.jar file).
in Eclipse I can add this jar to the Java Build Path, so the program runs.
When I double-click the dassimul-admin.jar file, I get a Class Not Found Exception
C:\MYWORK\dassimul>java -jar dassimul-admin.jar
FATAL ERROR WHILE LOADING SQL DRIVER: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.mysql.jdbc.Driver
I think that the problem lies in the fact that admin.DASAdmin can't see and import the jar file in connector/ folder... am I right?

It looks like you are putting the mysql jar file inside the dassimul jar. That won't work unless you write custom code. You should use the Class-Path attribute of the manifest to define a relative path(s) to the other jar(s) that you need to use.

Updated JAR files in j2ee/home/lib

We are developing and deploying j2ee applications to a 9.0.2.3 9iAS server. We have a framework.jar file that we have a number of applications in two OC4J instances (home and portal) that need to use this jar file. As a result, we place the jar file in the j2ee/home/lib directory since this could be seen by all applications. My question comes in when we try and update this jar file. We seem to experience problems when moving a new framework.jar file into the directory. We mainly notice this issue in our EM Website. We begin to get the following error in the EM Website after we move an updated jar file into the directory:
Servlet error: Renderer failed: java.lang.InternalError: jzentry == 0
I've seen this error before and it seems to link back to a problem with jar files. If I remove the new jar file the error disappears. We are eventually able to get the jar file in, but only after restarting the whole mid-tier. Is this normal? Should we have to restart the server everytime we update the jar file? If so, what would be the best way to implement the new jar files? Stop mid-tier, move new file in and restart??
Would you recommend a different location for this jar file?? Our biggest concern is that we only want to deploy this jar file one time and have all applications that need it find it. Thanks in advance for any input you might have.
Beth

Libraries loaded from the j2ee/home/lib directory are opened and loaded at the J2EE container level. So they are accessed from the very start of the server, to the point where it is stopped.
Therefore if you modify a class library which has already been loaded, you may run into file locking related issues (which will be OS dependent, Windows for example probably won't even let you overwrite the file) so that is what you are likely to be seeing.
JAR files loaded at the J2EE container level aren't really suitable for dynamic updating -- the classes can be referenced in a multitude of other classloaders.
As you have seen, replacing a J2EE container level class file, then a restart will be required along the lines of what you have written.
Stop mid-tier, move new file in and restart?? cheers
