Modifying SAP Connection Properties

Use SAP connection properties as mobile business object (MBO) parameters when making connections from an SAP MBO to an enterprise information system (EIS).

Modify SAP Java connector (JCo) connection properties when creating or editing an SAP MBO. You can then use these connection properties as parameters, for example, as personalization keys or default values.

Modify connection properties either from the Mobile Business Object Creation wizard or the Properties view.

  1. In the Definition window of the Mobile Business Object Creation wizard, expand Runtime Data Source Credential and Connection Properties.
  2. The Connection Properties table displays the configurable connection properties. The Property column is read-only, but you can modify some SAP JCo connection properties.
    For example, you can either input a value or select a personalization key from the drop down list for the property. You can also create a new personalization key for any property. However, you cannot input a new value for language or code page properties.
  3. To modify connection properties after the MBO is created:
    1. From the Properties view, select the Attributes tab on the left, then the Definition tab.
    2. Click Edit.
    3. Modify as required and click OK.

Once you have created or modified your MBO, you can use these parameters as default values and personalization keys as needed.

At runtime, you can manage SAP connection properties as parameters. For example, if you have an SAP SalesOrder.CreateFromData1 operation that inserts a sales order for a particular user that occurs in the context of a known SAP user, the user's credentials can be used in the insert operation. User credentials are checked in this order:
  1. SAP single sign-on (SSO2) tokens.
  2. X.509 single sign-on certificates.
  3. Constant and personalization key values for each property.
