Configuring the connection

Connecting SAP Build and UiPath®

The process of connecting an SAP environment to a UiPath tenant is performed in the SAP Build Control Tower, on the UiPath Set-Up tile. For precise steps and details, check out Configure connection to UiPath in the SAP documentation.

Connecting SAP Task Center to UiPath® Action Center

Validation tasks need to be shared between SAP Task Center and UiPath Action Center. For that to happen, the two applications need to be connected through a series of parameters. Follow these steps to set up the connection:
  1. Access your Automation Cloud™ account and create an external application. Check out the Adding an External Application page for detailed instructions.
    Important:
    • Make sure to configure these options as follows:
      • Application type: Confidential application
      • Resources:
        • Resource: Orchestrator API Access
        • Application Scope(s) tab: OR.Tasks.Read
    • Make sure you have a reliable place to store the App ID and App Secret generated once the application is created.
  2. Retrieve the UiPath-specific details needed for configuring the connection in SAP Task Center:
    • Task SPI: https://cloud.uipath.com/<uipath_account_name>/<uipath_tenant_name>/bupproxyservice_/orchestrator/api, where:
      • <uipath_account_name> - the organization name in your Automation Cloud™ URL
      • <uipath_tenant_name> - the tenant name in your Automation Cloud™ URL
        docs image
    • Authentication: OAuth2ClientCredentials
    • Client Id: the App ID generated once the external application is created
    • Client Secret: the App Secret generated once the external application is created
    • Token Service URL: https://cloud.uipath.com/identity_/connect/token
    • Scope: OR.Tasks.Read
    • Additional Header for each call: URL.headers.ServiceUrl:
      The resulting URL to be used is as follows: URL.headers.ServiceUrl: https://cloud.uipath.com/<uipath_account_name>/<uipath_tenant_name>/orchestrator_
      .
  3. Follow the dedicated SAP documentation for further configuration details.
Note:

For every UiPath tenant that you set up, you need to configure the connection in SAP Task Center accordingly, by following the steps on this page. This is because the Task SPI and the Additional Header are tenant-specific.

The Client Id and the Client Secret remain the same within each external application.
