Note

Prerequisites

These instructions assume that the following steps are completed:

...

Open the list of Environment Constants by choosing Edit >> Environment Constants from the NMM menu. Some entries may have a default value, which you do not have to change. Any entries in red must receive a value before you will be able to start the NLINK Server.

Your NLINK meta-database may not have all these entries, and/or may have additional entries specific to your configuration.

ADC

ADC TCP Port

TCP/IP port used by NLINK Server to receive requests. Use default unless there is conflicts with some other software using same port.

Error Handling

EMAIL_SMTP_RELAY (or _SERVER)

Usually this can be blank.

EMAIL_RECIPIENT_ADDRESS

Leave this blank to turn off error notifications. Otherwise enter a valid email address and NLINK will automatically send error notification emails to that address.

If you do not see this Environment Constant, set the address directly in the System Properties.

EMAIL_FROM_ADDRESS

If sending error notifications, enter a valid “from” address here.

EMAIL_FROM_NAME

If sending error notifications, enter a name here. You can then use this information to filter the messages in the receiving email account.

SAP (On-Premise Systems)

SAP_DESTINATION

Enter the destination (from the sapnwrfc.ini file) you want to connect to.

SAP_CLIENT

Enter the SAP client number, just as you would if you were logging on through SAPGUI.

SAP_USER_ID

Enter NLINK’s SAP user id.

SAP_PASSWORD

Enter NLINK’s SAP password.

SAP_LANGUAGE

Enter the SAP language, just as you would if you were logging on through SAPGUI (e.g., EN for English).

SAP_USER_ID

If not using logon passthrough, specify an SAP User for NLINK to use for all communication. This is a required field, so even if you are using logon passthrough you will need to put something here (e.g., “notused”).

If you are configuring your own transactions, you also need this user in order to run the SAP Wizards in the NLINK Configuration Module.

SAP_PASSWORD

Enter the password for the NLINK User specified above, or leave empty if using passthrough.

SAP_ALT_RFC_READ_TABLE

If your system needs to use an alternate RFC to get around the SAP floating point issue, enter the name of that RFC here (e.g., Z_RFC_READ_TABLE). If you don’t need the alternate RFC, leave this blank.

SAP_DATA_DICT_USER_ID

Optionally specify an SAP User for NLINK to use for various technical communications, e.g., determing function module signatures. This may allow you to offload some technical authorizations to this single user instead of having to add them to all the business users.

SAP_DATA_DICT_PASSWORD

Enter the password for the NLINK Data Dictionary User specified above, or leave empty if not used.

SAP (S/4Cloud Systems hosted by SAP, or On-Premise Systems using SAP REST APIs)

SAP_SERVER_URL

Enter the base url for the SAP APIs, e.g., httphttps://some.address.here:port/sap/opu/odata/sap/

AUTH_URL

Enter the public ping url, e.g., httphttps://some.address.here:port/sap/bc/ping?sap-client=xxx where xxx is the client number

SAP_LANGUAGE

Enter the SAP language, just as you would if you were logging on through SAPGUI (e.g., EN for English).
