More about Connect SAPJCo rules

Calling activity

An SAPJCo connector is invoked from a connector activity — an activity with the Activity Type set to Connect that applies to a class derived from the Work- base class. Such activities can be referenced in an Integrator shape in a flow rule.

When you use the Connector wizard, the wizard generates a connector activity. You may need to fine-tune settings or steps in the generated rule.

Performance statistics

For information on gathering performance information about this connector see Testing Services and Connectors, a document on the Integration pages of the PDN.

Simulation and testing

To debug your application before the connector is working, you can simulate an SAPJCo connector when the external SAP system is unavailable or lacks a test environment. Create an instance of the Data-Admin-IS-Services class and appropriate simulation activities.

For more information on testing connectors, see Testing Services and Connectors, a document available on the Integration pages of the PDN.
