Step 2: Configuring your SAP system

To establish a communication between UiPath Test Manager and your SAP system, configure the SAP system by creating a communication user and activating the required services. To achieve this, follow these steps:

  1. Create a communication user in your SAP system for the integration with UiPath Test Manager. Assign the necessary roles and authorizations based on your organization's internal policies.

    • The integration uses standard interfaces via RFC or Web service (HTTPS).
    • UiPath does not require specific authorizations, except for RFC connections.
      note

      If you use an RFC connection, assign the S_RFCACL authorization object to the communication user.

  2. If you plan to use a Web service (HTTPS) connection for the integration, activate the necessary SAP services required to establish the connection with UiPath.

    note

    These services are used for read-only operations. UiPath uses only HTTP GET methods to retrieve information from the SAP system.

    The following lists presents the necessary SAP services to activate for using the Heatmap and Change Impact Analysis:

    • Heatmap services:
      • /sap/opu/odata/UIPATH/HEATMAP_AGGREGATES_SRV/AllAggregatesSet
      • /sap/opu/odata/UIPATH/TRANSPORT_INFO_SRV/TransportsStatusSet
      • /sap/opu/odata/UIPATH/TRANSPORT_LOOKBACK_SRV/TransportLookbackSet
      • /sap/opu/odata/UIPATH/S4_CHECK_SRV/S4Info
      • /sap/opu/odata/UIPATH/HEATMAP_OVERVIEW_SRV/FinalHeatmapSet
    • Change Impact Analysis services:
      • /sap/opu/odata/UIPATH/GET_TRANSPORT_EXES_SRV/TransportExesSet
      • /sap/opu/odata/UIPATH/GET_TRANSPORT_DETAILS_SRV/DetailsSet
      • /sap/opu/odata/UIPATH/GET_TRANSPORT_DETAILS_SRV/TransportAnalysisSet
      • /sap/opu/odata/UIPATH/EXE_ANALYSIS_SRV/GetTransportAnalysis
      • /sap/opu/odata/UIPATH/GET_TRANSPORT_ALLITEMS_SRV/TransportAnalysisSet
      • /sap/opu/odata/UIPATH/GET_TRANSPORT_ALLITEMS_SRV/DetailsSetTo activate the previous services, follow these substeps:

    1. Navigate to your SAP system user interface.

    2. Execute the SICF transaction.

      In the Filter for Calling ICF Hierarchy section, ensure SERVICE is entered in the Hierarchy Type field.
