Provide SAP JCo for ARIS for SAP Solutions

ARIS and SAP Solution Manager 7.2 communicate via HTTP access. Therefore the requirements must be met in the SAP system. In general, the system no longer requires transport requests or sapjco3.jar. If the components are not available, users can run actions, such as Run executable, Show blueprint, and Show configuration (client), only using SAP Solution Manager 7.2.

The transport request for synchronization and sapjco3.jar on the server side are needed only for data migration. For details, see Migrating SAP projects to SAP® Solution Manager 7.2 solutions on DVD, ARIS Download Center or Empower.

If you use SAP Solution Manager 7.1 and the SAP® synchronization or Test Designer, you must provide SAP JCo 3.0.x containing sapjco3.jar and sapjco3.dll in order to allow the program to connect to the SAP® systems and provide all functions. For licensing reasons, files of SAP® JCo may not be automatically installed during installation.

The following procedure will automatically provide sapjco3.jar for ARIS Download Client and ARIS Server. Make sure that all users of ARIS Download Client copy the needed sapjco3.dll file to their local machines. For installed clients and the server LOCAL the sapjco3.jar file and the sapjco3.dll file must be provided manually.

Procedure

  1. Download SAP JCo 3.0.x version appropriate for your operating system and for the runtime environment (JRE) used from the SAP Service Marketplace. If you are using a different operating system please refer to the appropriate download package from SAP AG.
  2. Save the zip file, for example, d:/sapjco3<number>.zip.
  3. Start ARIS Cloud Controller (ACC).
  4. Stop the abs runnable: for example, enter stop abs_m.
  5. Provide sapjco3.jar for download clients and ARIS Server using this command:

    enhance abs_<s, m, or l> with webappsClasspath local file <path to the saved zip file>,

    for example

    enhance abs_m with webappsClasspath local file "d:\\sapjco3<number>.zip"

    Notice the double backslashes. Alternatively, use single forward slashes, for example "d:/sapjco3<number>.zip"

  6. Start the runnable: for example, enter start abs_m.

sapjco3.jar will be available for download clients and ARIS Server. The source file can be deleted.

All users of download clients must copy the sapjco3.dll file. Please provide SAP® JCo for installed clients or the server LOCAL too.

After you have performed an update setup you need to enhance SAP JCo again. If you are using HD server, enhance JCO also for the hds runnable as described for the abs runnable.

If you have correctly provided SAP Java Connector SAP JCo 3.0.x but have installed older runtime libraries of Visual Studio 2005 C/C++, you may have to update the Microsoft Active Template Library (ATL). Please consider the SAP notes 1077727 and 1375494 on the SAP Service Marketplace.
