Problem Retrieving Accounts from SAP system

Hey guys,

Even I faced a similar problem.

The solution for this is

a) Check which version of JCo you are using

b) If you are using SAP JCo 2.1.7 ..then boy oh boy you are in trouble.

If it is (b) then you should go back to a lower version like 2.0.12 which solved the problem in my case.

Looks like the latest jar which sun has added in SAP JCo has got some problems.

The following needs to be done.

Setting Trace: SAP JCo

Set the SAP JCo Trace Level to 4 and all the calls that happen to SAP JCo can be checked in the trace files dumped into the directory of <Tomcat Installation> \dump.

Downloading JCo

You need to be an SAP customer or partner (with a valid SAP net (OSS) userid) to

download JCo. Go to http://service.sap.com/connectors and follow the download instructions. You will also find the complete list of supported platforms here.

Note: 1. The version of SAP JCo Release 2.1.7 when used ends up in a Null Pointer Exception.

2. The version of SAP JCo Release 2.0.12 is more stable and works fine when used for provisions, de provisions and reconciliation of Accounts.

Configurations to be done where Identity Manager is installed.

Get the zip file sapjco-ntintel-2.0.12.

The following are the main components present in the zip file.

sapjco.jar

librfc32.dll

sapjcorfc.dll

Copy the file sapjco.jar to <IDM Installation Folder>\WEB-INF\lib

Copy the librfc32.dll file from your JCo root directory to C:\WINNT\SYSTEM32 unless the version you already have there is newer than the one supplied with JCo

Copy sapjcorfc.dll <Java Installation>\bin

Note: Refer JCo Tutorial.pdf present in the zip file for more troubleshooting tips.

Sample Code to Test Connectivity.

Execute the following client code to check if the connection is working fine.

Note: Before doing this ensure that the class path is set.

import com.sap.mw.jco.*;

public class TutorialConnect1 extends Object {

JCO.Client mConnection;

public TutorialConnect1() {

try {

// Change the logon information to your own system/user

mConnection =

JCO.createClient("100", // SAP client

"xxxxx", // userid

"xxxxxx123", // password

null, // language

"10.201.109.278", // application server host name

"00"); // system number

mConnection.connect();

System.out.println(mConnection.getAttributes());

mConnection.disconnect();

}

catch (Exception ex) {

ex.printStackTrace();

System.exit(1);

}

}

public static void main (String args[]) {

TutorialConnect1 app = new TutorialConnect1();

}

}
