Change settings for the SAP Solution Manager 7.2 connection

After you have installed and configured ARIS Connector for SAP Solutions, you can modify the settings if required. If you have configured a connection to your test system, you can add your productive SAP system.

Warning

Do not change the SAPConfiguration.json file manually. The file is automatically updated with your settings by the command line interface.

  1. Open the <ARIS Connector for SAP Solutions installation directory>\conf\UpdateSAPConfiguration.json file in a text editor. The parameters are described in the UpdateSAPConfiguration.md file.

  2. Specify all highlighted values, such as:

    "alias" : "SM01"

    Enter the name of the related SAP system. If you use multiple SAP systems, you must specify a unique alias value for each SAP system.

    "serverUrl" : "https://sapsolman72.us.co.abc:50001",

    Enter the SAP server URL to SAP Solution Manager 7.2.

    Syntax: https://<solution manager server name>:<port>), for example, https://sapsolman72.us.co.abc:50001.

    You can retrieve the SAP server URL from the corresponding SAP System using the SCIF or the SOLDOC executables. Just copy the URL up to the port number.

    "user" : "ARIS_SAP_SYNC_USER",

    User name which is used to log on to the SAP® system.

    "password" : "password_set_with_configure_connector",
