When you use an SAP source for the first time, perform the following steps before you configure an

application ingestion

task for the source:

Verify that the appropriate SAP Notes are available in the SAP server. For more information, see the
SAP Connector Guide
.
Download the SAP Java Connector (SAP JCo) library from the SAP website.
Copy the native and JAR files from the downloaded SAP JCo library to the following directory:
<Secure_Agent>\ext\connectors\thirdparty\infa.odp\
Copy the sap-adapter-common.jar file from
<Secure_Agent>\downloads\package-ICSAgent_<version>\package\ICS\main\bin\rdtm\javalib\sap
to the following directory:
<Secure_Agent>\ext\connectors\thirdparty\infa.odp\
Restart the Secure Agent.

Before you configure an

application ingestion

task for an SAP source, ensure that you release the datasources from which you want to transfer data. You can use the following functions to release the required datasources:

BS_ANLY_DS_RELEASE_ODP
RODPS_OS_EXPOSE

The first time an incremental load job runs to capture change data for an SAP source, the job retrieves and loads the change records from the latest position in the data stream that contains source data. However, when you resume a stopped or aborted job, the job begins propagating change data from where it last left off.

Incremental load jobs for SAP sources do not capture the change data for data sources that do not have a primary key. Additionally, the incremental load jobs do not capture change data for the following SAP datasources:

The datasources for which SAP does not support delta.
The datasources that are configured to provide change data in the form of additive images.

Mass Ingestion Applications

does not detect and propagate schema changes in SAP sources.

Mass Ingestion Applications

does not propagate fields of the following obsolete SAP data types:

D16S
D34S

VARC

Additionally,

application ingestion
