Installing and Configuring the SAP Connector

This chapter covers the installation and configuration of the Siebel Connector for SAP R/3.

The following sections describe the basic installation and configuration process for executing standard integrations and their underlying business services. It may be necessary to perform additional configuration within SAP or the Siebel application to support specific customer requirements. For additional information on business services configurations, read Customizing Integrations.
