Overview

You can use this account type to connect SAP Snaps with data sources that use the SAP Load Balanced JCo account. The SAP Load Balanced JCo Account is used to connect to a message server (MSHOST - Message Server Host). Learn more about SAP Configuration.

Prerequisites

None

Known Issue

In version 4.28 (main14627), the SAP Snap Pack's bundled JCo library was upgraded to 3.1.4. Prior to that, version 3.0.6 was used.

In version 3.0.21 of SAP:

The default login behavior of the JCo library changed.
The default value of property jco.client.snc_sso was changed from 0 to 1 (enabled).

The above changes will impact your pipelines if you use a username/password for RFC login. Login would work with the SAP Snap Pack versions before 4.28 but will fail with versions 4.28 or later.

The following workarounds can help mitigate the issues:

Add the jco.client.snc_sso JCo property with a value of 0 (disabled). If the account still fails with a "Name or password is incorrect (repeat logon)" error, even after adding this property, then reach out to the SAP team to enable the option "Permit Password Logon SAP GUI" for that specific user.
Select the Permit Password Logon for SAP GUI (User-Specific) checkbox.

The permit password option is effective only if the profile parameter snc/accept_insecure_gui is set to U. (Unsecure login is permitted for specific users).
