SAP View & Form Builder

Use this Builder to set SAP connection properties. The properties you establish in this Builder can be shared by all other SAP Builders that use properties (SAP batch, SAP Function Call, SAP View and Form). In addition, the properties set in this Builder can apply across multiple SAP servers in a cluster, as well as to a single-server environment.
When you use this Builder to set properties, we can leave blank the "Property File" input on other SAP Builders, since these other Builders will look to this Builder for connection property information. The order of SAP property resolution for all SAP Builders that require properties is as follows:

Use properties set in the "Advanced" sections of SAP Batch, SAP Function Call and SAP View and Form Builder editor.

Look for connection properties supplied by an SAP Properties Builder.
Locate the SAP Properties file specified in the SAP Builder input.

Since other SAP Builders use information contained in this Builder, this Builder must be placed before those other SAP Builders in the Builder Call List.
