Configure Output from SAP Spool¶

The printer is configured for BC-XOM in the SAP system. The BC-XOM interface from SEAL Systems accepts the job and transmits it via IPP or IPPS to the Output Engine server. PLOSSYS Output Engine processes the job and returns the job status to the SAP system via RFC callback.

Hint - Microsoft C++ runtime

Make sure that the required Microsoft C++ runtime has been installed. For more information, refer to the Microsoft C++ (Output Engine Server) requirement.

Install SAP NetWeaver RFC¶

Open SAP Launchpad in a Web browser:
```
https://launchpad.support.sap.com/
```
Log on with your SAP user name and password.
In SAP Launchpad, search for the OSS number 2573790.
Follow the download link for SAP NW RFC SDK 7.50 and save the current version.

Unpack the downloaded ZIP archive:

Expand-Archive -LiteralPath '<downloaded_zip_archive>'

Copy the files to the following directory:
```
C:\Program Files\SAP\nwrfcsdk
```
Add the following path to the global environment variable PATH in Windows:
```
;C:\Program Files\SAP\nwrfcsdk\lib
```

Configure SAP NetWeaver RFC with an Application Server¶

Generate the following file:

C:\ProgramData\SEAL Systems\config\sapnwrfc.ini

Specify the connection data to the SAP system in this file whereby SAPROUTER is set to /H/<name_saprouter>.
Example - SAP configuration file sapnwrfc.ini
```
DEST=W74
ASHOST=10.100.100.100
TRACE=0
USER=sapuser
PASSWD=sappassword
CLIENT=310
SYSNR=01
SAPROUTER=/H/roeadm003.sealsystems.local
```
The sapnwrfc.ini configuration file has the same syntax as saprfc.ini.

Literature - saprfc.ini

The saprfc.ini file is described in SAP Basis Configuration - Server.
Restart the following service:
- seal-co-notifier

Configure SAP NetWeaver RFC with a Message Server¶

Create the following file:

C:\ProgramData\SEAL Systems\config\sapnwrfc.ini

Specify the connection data to the SAP system in this file whereby MSSERV is set to 36<SYSNR> and SAPROUTER to /H/<name_saprouter>.
Example - SAP configuration file sapnwrfc.ini
```
DEST=WMS
R3NAME=W74
GROUP=PUBLIC
MSHOST=10.100.100.100
MSSERV=3601
CLIENT=000
USER=rfctest
PASSWD=ides1234567
TRACE=0
SAPROUTER=/H/roeadm003.sealsystems.local
```
The sapnwrfc.ini configuration file has the same syntax as saprfc.ini.

Literature - saprfc.ini

The saprfc.ini file is described in SAP Basis Configuration - Server.
Restart the following service:
- seal-co-notifier

Configure BC-XOM in SAP¶

Literature - BC-XOM

The configuration of BC-XOM in SAP is described in OMS Interface for SAP (BC-XOM).

Hint - supported

PLOSSYS Output Engine only supports OMS Server or OMS Submit and the transmission via IPP.

Configure the SAPGOF Converter on the Output Engine Server¶

Literature - SAPGOF Converter

For further information about how to configure the SAPGOF Converter, refer to the SAPGOF Converter documentation.

By default, the SAPGOF Converter uses the following configuration files:

C:\Program Files\SEAL Systems\seal-convert-sapgof\lib\initialization\config\CONFIG
C:\Program Files\SEAL Systems\seal-convert-sapgof\lib\initialization\config\GRIBS74_PDF_DB

For using another configuration, specify the following Consul keys:

CONFIG: Customized content of the CONFIG configuration file
GRIBS74_PDF_DB: Customized content of the GRIBS74_PDF_DB configuration file

Import the `CONFIG` File with PLOSSYS CLI ¶

Copy C:\Program Files\SEAL Systems\seal-convert-sapgof\lib\initialization\config\CONFIG to config_tmp.yml.
Adjust config_tmp.yml according to the YAML format by indenting each line by four blanks and inserting the following lines at the beginning of the file:
```
convert-sapgof:
  CONFIG:
```
Hint - syntax

The data consists of multiple lines. For preserving the line endings, store the value in literal style, indicated by a |. You have to indent all lines of the text. The leading spaces will not be part of the data retrieved by the service.
Example - literal style
```
convert-sapgof:
  CONFIG: |
    This is a
    multiline
    value.
```
Customize the settings in config_tmp.yml and save the file.
Import the file to Consul:
```
plossys config import config_tmp.yml
```
Restart the following service:
- seal-convert-sapgof

Import the `GRIBS74_PDF_DB` File with PLOSSYS CLI ¶

Copy C:\Program Files\SEAL Systems\seal-convert-sapgof\lib\initialization\config\GRIBS74_PDF_DB to gribs_tmp.yml.
Adjust gribs_tmp.yml according to the YAML format by indenting each line by four blanks and inserting the following lines at the beginning of the file:
```
convert-sapgof:
  GRIBS74_PDF_DB:
```
Customize the settings in gribs_tmp.yml and save the file.
Import the file to Consul:
```
plossys config import gribs_tmp.yml
```
Restart the following service:
- seal-convert-sapgof

Advanced Configuration¶

The following keys influence the behavior of the output from SAP:

MAX_INSTANCES: Maximum of parallel conversions
TIMEOUT: Time interval after which a conversion is aborted if it has not generated any new data
