Client Connection

You can configure the client connection to establish an inbound connection with the SAP system.

In the Client Connection panel of the Client Connection Configuration tab, specify the basic and advanced options of the client connection.

After specifying the client connection, you have to click Test Connection to validate the connection.

The following table lists the configurations in the Client Connection panel:

System Name	Yes	Yes	The SAP system ID. Note: This field is displayed only when you select Load Balancing and SNC with Load Balancing from the Connection Type list. To avoid maintaining an entry in the Network services file, instead of specifying the SAP system ID, enter the TCP port number which is 3600 - 36xx where xx is the instance number. Note: The SAP Service Name must be maintained as a TCP/IP port number in all cases while using TIBCO Cloud Integration.

The default value is -1, which indicates that the plug-in can retry indefinitely. Note: For the IDoc Reader activity, if an IDoc message is persisted on the JMS destination where the activity retrieve messages, the attempt can continue infinitely regardless of the configured number of retries.
Interval between Reconnect Attempts(ms)	No	Yes	The time interval in milliseconds between two successive attempts to establish a connection before sending an IDoc message or RFC/BAPI request to the SAP system. The default value is 30000.
Max Connections	No	Yes	The number of SAP connections in the client connection. The default value is 1.
Disable Connection Pooling	No	No	Whether to disable connection pooling. If you want to close the connection automatically after the RFC/BAPI call is completed, select this checkbox. This checkbox is cleared by default.

Note: This property controls the number of concurrent threads used for invoking a RFC/BAPI in SAP and returning the reply back to the RFC/BAPI Listener activity. The maximum effective number for the number of threads is 99. If a number larger than 99 is given, at run time considers the default value which is 8.
Third Party Library Options	No	Yes	Specifies SAP JCo properties which are used by the SAP Connection shared resource. Note: It is a semicolon separated list of SAP JCo properties. While specifying a SAP JCo property which is available as a property in the SAP Connection shared resource then the value specified with the SAP JCo property is used. If a SAP JCo property is specified more than once then the last value is used.
