RFC connection

To create an integration between your Test Manager project and your SAP system to collect data periodically, using an RFC connection to your SAP system, follow these steps:

1. Integrate SAP NetWeaver RFC SDK - Automation Suite

This task demonstrates how to integrate the SAP NetWeaver RFC SDK with your SAP system, so you can use the heatmap in Test Manager deployed with Automation Suite, via an RFC connection.
  1. Download the SAP Netweaver RFC SDK 7.50 and extract it.
  2. Navigate to the lib folder and save this folder path.
    In the lib folder you'll find the libraries as .so files.
  3. Copy the libraries to your Automation Suite storage, using the Test Manager migrator shell script.
    • For External object storages - run the following command in Powershell:
      ./testmanager_migrator.sh -sap <storage_folder_location> -y./testmanager_migrator.sh -sap <storage_folder_location> -y
    • For InCluster Ceph Object storages - run the following command in Powershell:
      ./testmanager_migrator.sh -sap <storage_folder_location> -is -y./testmanager_migrator.sh -sap <storage_folder_location> -is -y
    Replace storage_folder_location with the path you saved at Step 2.
After you move the SAP libraries to your Automation Suite storage locations, perform the following validation steps:
  1. Check if you can access Test Manager inside Automation Suite.
  2. You can create a custom connection with your SAP system in a Test Manager project.

2. Create the SAP connection

  1. Open your project in Test Manager, and go to Project Settings > Integration.
  2. Select SAP from the New Connection dropdown.

    The Edit connection dialog pops up.

  3. Fill in the fields according to the data from your SAP system:
    1. Name - name the integration between Test Manager and SAP.
    2. Description - describe the integration between Test Manager and SAP.
  4. From Data Source select Connect to SAP instance with RFC:
    1. Application Server—IP address or URL that your SAP system is working on.
      For example, a URL can have the following format: mysapserver.com.
    2. System name—three-letter SAP system ID.
    3. Instance Number—SAP system number.
    4. Client—SAP client to log into.
    5. User—SAP user name.
    6. Password—SAP password.
    7. Polling Interval—time interval when data is brought from the SAP system. The minimum value for this is one hour.
    Figure 1. Create new connection with RFC

  5. After you finish the configuration of the integration, select Save.
  6. Refresh your project. The Heatmap page appears in the left-hand menu of your Test Manager project.

2. Configure Change Impact Analysis

After you set up RFC connection, choose how to enable Change Impact Analysis, and define which SAP system it connects to:

  1. Open your existent SAP connection, or select SAP from the New Connection dropdown list.
  2. Select Change Impact Analysis connection.
  3. Under Impact Analysis Access select the view tabs corresponding to SAP change types that you want to display in your Change Impact Analysis:
    1. UI: Selected by default, displays transactions impacted by the selected transports.
    2. API: Displays the technical interfaces impacted by the selected transports, such as SAP BAPI, SAP RFC, SAP QUERY, and SAP IDOC.
    3. Security: Displays security transactions and corresponding users impacted by the selected transports.

  4. Under Connection Source select one of the following:

    1. Same as Heatmap: Keep the same SAP connection details that you are using for the Heatmap.

      This means both functionalities will collect data from the same SAP system.

    2. New connection: Create a separate SAP connection for Change Impact Analysis. This option allows you to use different authentication details while maintaining the same connection type as the Heatmap.
      Note: We recommend you to connect the Heatmap to your production system and Change Impact Analysis to your quality system for optimal risk evaluation.

      Follow the same steps as above, for creating a web service connection.

    3. If your Heatmap connection uses a CSV file:

      You must create a new connection for Change Impact Analysis.

      Follow the same steps for creating either an RFC or .
