JCo Library for SAP

Before installing the Interface for SAP ERP module, JCo library files must be downloaded and moved to the correct location.

JCo is available for existing SAP customers only and can be downloaded from the following location: https://support.sap.com/en/product/connectors/jco.html

Scroll down to the Download section. Under the "Processor" column, click the link for the appropriate architecture and operating system of the Ignition Gateway server (not your client computer) on which the Interface for SAP ERP module will be installed. For example, if your Ignition Gateway server is installed on a 64-bit version of Windows, select the "64-bit x86*" link next to "Microsoft Windows and Windows Server."

You will be taken to a login page. Enter a username and password corresponding to a valid SAP S-ID account. If you do not have an account, speak with your SAP administrator.

Your browser should begin downloading a ZIP file. Once the download is complete, you may extract the ZIP file's contents and proceed with the installation procedure.

User Account for SAP

A user account that has access to call Remote-enabled Function Modules (RFMs) is required to allow the Interface for SAP ERP to connect to SAP.

User accounts can be created within SAP using T-Code SU01.

Installing the JCo Library

Extract the JCo ZIP file, and find the following two files:
