SAP prerequisites
Supported versions of SAP
- SAP ECC5.0 or later
- SAP R/3 Release 4.6B (see Note)
- SAP R/3 Release 4.6C (see Note)
- SAP R/3 Release 4.7 (see Note)
Note:
In general, all SAP versions and all SAP applications are supported that contain SAP ArchiveLink. Due to the Unicode limitations in older SAP releases, full support for SAP is limited to SAP ECC5.0 or later. You can use SAP R/3 Release 4.6B, Release 4.6C, and Release 4.7 if you want to perform only those tasks that require the standard SAP ArchiveLink functions according to the SAP specification. Content Collector for SAP enhancements, such as the index transfer, are not supported by those releases.
Important: Support requests must be reproducible on SAP ECC5.0 or later.
Required SAP components
Content Collector for SAP requires the following additional SAP components, which are available from the SAP Service Marketplace. For all supported operating systems, you need the 64-bit version of the SAP component.
- SAP Java Connector (JCo) Release 3.0.1 or later
This component is required by Collector Server and Utility Client. Extract the content of the package to the bin directory of Collector Server, to the lib directory of Utility Client, or to both directories.
Note: If you install Utility Client on a Windows 32-bit operating system, you need the 32-bit version of SAP JCo. - SAP RFC SDK
This library is required by Collector Server. Extract the content of the package to the bin directory of Collector Server.
The version that you must install depends on your operating system. See SAP note 413708 for the details. - SAP Security Library (SAPSECULIB)
This library is used as a security provider for the SAP ArchiveLink interface. Extract the content of the package to the bin directory of Collector Server.
This library can no longer be downloaded from the SAP Marketplace. If you do not have this library already, see technote #1655830 for instructions about how to proceed.
