Setting up SAP development environments

Rational Developer tools for WPAI access require that you purchase licenses for SAP JCo adapters from the SAP Service Marketplace (See link below).

1. Download SAP's JCo adapter directory from SAP at SAP Service Marketplace.

2. Click Download Software > Download > SAP Connectors > SAP Java Connector. Based on your operating system, select the appropriate file to download . Extract the contents of the ZIP file into a local directory.

3. Complete the following steps according to your operating system. Note: rad_root refers to the installation directory of Rational Developer; for example, C:\Program Files\IBM\RDSP\6.0\.
   • For Windows:
     • Copy sapjco.jar and sapjcorfc.dll to <rad_root>\portal\eclipse\plugins\com.ibm.etools.webtools.eis.sap_6.0.0\.

     • Copy librfc32.dll to c:\windows\system32\.

     • You will need to restart Rational Developer with a command line option -clean.

       For example: rationalsdp.exe -clean.

   • For Linux:
     • Copy sapjco.jar and libsapjcorfc.so to <rad_root>/portal/eclipse/plugins/com.ibm.etools.webtools.eis.sap_6.0.0/.

     • Add the folder that contains the file librfccm.so to environment variable LD_LIBRARY_PATH.

     • You will need to restart Rational Developer with a command line option -clean.

       For example: ./rationalsdp.bin -clean.
