SAP Server
Descriptions
Environment entries for a SAP server connection are used to declare the parameters to access the gateway of a SAP system via Remote FunctionShape Call(RFC). The entry declares the access point at a SAP system to receive messages.
Please note that Orchestra's SAP adapters use the SAPJCO libraries from SAP. Since we can not assume that these libraries exist in every system, the SAP adapter is switched off by default.
If you need to use SAP adapters, the configuration parameter sap.jco.enabled in the configuration group adapter must be switched on, see How to enable SAP adapters.
Purpose of object
It is commonly used to declare the parameters for the SAP RFC Receiver. The adapter receives data from a SAP system.

Therefore, an authentication at the SAP system is necessary, which can be done by an environment entry of type SAP client. With these parameters it is possible to fetch the required information.
