Configuration: Creating and Updating an SAP Connection

Create and update the ESPOPTIONS.ini configuration file with connection information for the Server.

1. To start a new dashboard project, create a new folder for it. To open an existing project, select Start > Run.
2. Start the project in the RTView Display Builder by typing:

   %RTVIEWADAPTER_HOME%/bin/start_builder.bat <project_filepath> [<rtv_file_name>.rtv]

   • <project_filepath> is the absolute file path of the project folder.
   • <rtv_file_name> is the name of an existing dashboard project. When creating a new .rtv file, do not supply a file name: the RTView Display Builder opens into a blank dashboard project called unnamed.rtv, which you can then save with a desired name into the new dashboard project folder.
   Note: On Windows, if you type the start builder command by using the project folder argument without a file name, it looks for a file named "<projectfolder>.rtv". If such a file does not exist in the folder, you see a message that the file cannot be opened. Click OK to launch the builder. This is a known RTView issue.
3. In the RTView Display Builder, select Tools > Options.
4. In the left pane of the Application Options window, choose ESP.
5. In the ESP Connections tab, click Add.
6. To modify the properties of an existing connection, double-click the connection.
7. Fill in the appropriate connection information and click OK.
8. Click Apply, then Save to save the connection information in the ESPOPTIONS.ini configuration file. When asked if you want to save the configuration file to the lib folder in the adapter installation directory, click No. This ensures your connection information is applied only to the current project.
