Provide SAP JCo for locally installed clients

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.

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. Copy the file sapjco3.dll next to the Windows system libraries. The ARIS client automatically installs the 32-bit JRE version.

    For information on JRE version and Windows system, refer to the table below.

  3. Copy the sapjco3.jar file to the <ARIS installation directory>\client\lib directory.
  4. Restart the ARIS client.

SAP® Jco 3.0.x is available for this installed client. If you intend to use it together with the locally installed server LOCAL the latter must be provided with the 64-bit version of the sapjco3 file as well.

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.
