This configuration screen allows you to select for the connection method, RFC or SOAP.

SAP PM Configuration - RFC

  • SAP Instance ID - The ID of the SAP instance. When there are multiple, this defaults to default.

SAP PM Configuration - SOAP

  • Certificate Bundle Filename - The path to the SAP Certificate bundle file. You can browse to the file's location.

  • RFC Read Table Method - The name of method to read the SAP table.

  • Read Table WSDL URL - The url for the read table WDSL.

If your SOAP connection uses HTTPS (recommended for security) and has a custom certificate chain (issued within your organization rather than part of the public trust network), you can use the Certificate Bundle configuration option to supply the required certificates. This should point to a local file containing a Base64-encoded X.509 certificate store in PEM format, with the full chain of certificates: the Root Certificate Authority, Intermediate Certificate Authority, and server certificate (in that order).

You can create such a file by:

  1. Navigating to the HTTPS URL in your web browser, and viewing the certificate chain.

  2. Opening the Windows Certificate Store in the Microsoft Management Console.

  3. Finding each relevant certificate, and selecting Action -> All Tasks -> Export...

  4. Save each certificate as a Base-64 encoded X.509 (.CER) file.

  5. Create a new file in a text editor, and copy each of the contents of the other files into it.

If your SOAP connection uses HTTPS, please ensure that the URLs linked to from its WSDL files also use HTTPS. If they use HTTP, you may encounter an "SSL Protocol Error" as j5 will attempt to communicate with HTTPS.
