IBM App Connect Enterprise

Introduction

WebSphere Adapter for SAP Software provides multiple ways to interact with applications and data on SAP servers. The adapter uses the SAP Java™ Connector (SAP JCo) API to communicate with SAP applications supporting inbound and outbound interactions. The adapter has a property “Select assured once-only delivery”, which it uses as a data source to persist the event data received from the SAP server. Event recovery is provided to track and recover events in case a problem occurs when the adapter attempts to deliver the event to the endpoint. Any user looking into exploiting this feature will have to set up a remote queue manager for the persistence of message and recovery to work.

In this article, we describe the configuration and steps required for running an SAP Inbound Adapter based message flow in IBM App Connect Enterprise running in IBM Cloud Pak for Integration (CP4I). This particular scenario is focused on the SAP Inbound Adapter set with the Assured Once delivery option and the Integration Server configured to use a remote default QMGR option
