SNC Support in TIBCO Adapter
Secure Network Communications (SNC) enhances system security by ensuring secure communication at the application level. It establishes protected connections between components, such as the SAP GUI and application server, using additional protection mechanisms other than the basic authentication.
• SNC Support in TIBCO Adapter: Out of the box, TIBCO project is set up for a dedicated connection with SAP ECC or HANA. However, TIBCO also provides support for Secure Network Communication (SNC) between the TIBCO adapter and SAP systems. SNC ensures secure communication by encrypting data during transmission. For detailed steps to configure SNC connections, see chapter Working with Secure Communication in the TIBCO Adapter documentation located at the following path:
<<TIBCO_HOME>>\adapter\adr3\<<version>>\doc\pdf\TIB_adr3_<<version>_configuration_deployment
• Runtime and Design-Time Considerations: It is important to note that TIBCO adapter supports SNC only for runtime connections. When fetching or downloading BAPI, RFC, or ZRFC from the SAP server during design-time activities, it is recommended to use the default dedicated type connection provided by TIBCO projects. This ensures smooth development and testing processes while maintaining security during runtime execution.
