Tip:
The webapps installation directory on Software AG's Common Tomcat in conjunction with webMethods EntireX 8.2 can be found at $SAG_HOME\profiles\CTP\workspace\webapps. For installation, copy the war files (sapr3gateway.war) into this directory.

Tip:

Note:
SAP has defined an end of maintenance date for the classic RFC SDK and library which are used by SAP R/3 Gateway. Please read SAP note 413708 for more information on SAP Service Marketplace. We will introduce our migration strategy to accommodate this SAP notification in due course.

Note:
The JAR libraries activation.jar and mail.jar are no longer part of the shipment. Please download these libraries from the Oracle homepage and place them into the WEB-INF/lib directory.
