  1. SAP Function Modules are packed in SAP transports, located in the Precise v9.6 download or on the DVD. The transports can be found in the \Utilities\SAP\ folder. Alternatively, you can download the transport files separately from the Precise Customer Portal. For further details, contact Precise Customer Support.
  2. To install the Function Modules in the SAP system, you must import the transports into the SAP system.
  3. Select the appropriate transport zip file(s) below, and copy them to the target SAP application server:

    BW 7.x

    Precise_Transports_Basic.zip

    Precise_Transports_700.zip

    Precise_for_SAP_BI_7.0_Transport.zip

  4. Copy the transport ZIP files into the transport folder of the SAP system (usually /usr/sap/trans for Linux/UNIX systems or \\<SAP_hostname>\sapmnt\trans for Windows systems).
  5. Use a program such as unzip or WinZIP (on Windows) to unpack the K and R files into the corresponding subfolder. The K files (e.g. K900059.PS2) should be extracted to the cofiles subfolder (/usr/sap/trans/cofiles). The R files (e.g. R900059.PS2) to the data subfolder (/usr/sap/trans/data).

    Info

    Verify that the read-only attribute is removed from the copied transport files. Otherwise, the import to the SAP system may fail.

  6. Use the SAP Transport Management System (transaction STMS) or the operating system executable program tp to import the required transport. For information about the Transport Management System and the tp program, see SAP documentation.
    Each of the zip files folders contains a readme.txt file with instruction on the order in which Transports should be imported to the SAP system.
    The Transports contain SAP objects as described below:

    For a more detailed description of the Transports, see SAP Transports description on page 242.

  7. After the import has completed and in case a previous version of Precise Function Modules was installed in the system, you must rebuild the Function Group object list, by performing the following steps:
    1. Go to SE80 > Function Group > /PRECISE/ZLSC.
    2. Right click on the Function Group > Other Functions > Rebuild Object List.
  8. When connecting to SAP, verify that all the authorizations in the Z_PRECISE Profile (for Basis 4.6C to 6.40) or in the Z_PRECISE Role (SAP Basis 7.x) have been added to the SAP user.
    For more information on the authorizations, see SAP User authorizations on page 244.

...

  • Ports 33xx (where xx represents the 2 digits two-digit SAP System Number) between Precise for SAP FocalPoint and SAP Application Servers have to be opened.
  • If using Interpoint for SAP in one of the Precise for Database products, ports 33xx between the Database agent (Precise for Oracle, Precise for SQL Server or Precise for DB2) and the SAP Application Servers have to be opened as well.

...

Add the following entry to the file (usually located at c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc):

sapms<SID> 36XX/tcp

where XX is the system number.

  1. Enter the unique SAP System ID (SID).
  2. Enter the system name, using a free-text identifier.
    This will help you to distinguish between multiple SAP instances.
  3. You can connect to SAP through one of the application servers, a logon group, or through a routing string.
    • To connect through an application server, choose “Custom "Custom Application server” server" for the Connection Type, then enter the host name of the application server to be used.

      Info

      If the application server name does not exist in the drop-down menu, you do not need to add it to the server list. SAP uses SAP RFC library to communicate with the SAP application server, without installing additional components on the application server.

    • To connect through a logon group, choose “Group/Server Selection” for the Connection Type, then enter the host name of the message server to be used.

      Info

      If the message server name does not exist in the drop-down menu, you do not need to add it to the server list. SAP uses SAP RFC library to communicate with the SAP message server, without installing additional components on the message server.

    • To connect through a routing string, enter the required routing string. The value should include the routing string concatenated with the SAP Application Server host. For example, when the router is vm-sap-srv-15 and the SAP system Application Server is vm-sap-srv-13, the routing string should look like:
      /H/vm-sap-srv-15/H/vm-sap-srv-13
  4. Enter the two-digit system number.
  5. Enter the SAP user name (use upper-case characters only).
  6. Enter the password.
  7. Enter the three-digit SAP client.
  8. Click Next.
