Setting up an SAP User Account for Windchill ESI
To set up the required SAP user account Windchill ESI use the following procedures:
Use transaction SU01 to create a SAP user account ESISYS. Perform the following:
Under the LogOn Data tab, select Communication Data for User Type. This account is valid and used only by automated RFCs to communicate with the TIBCO Adapter for SAP.
Under Default Settings, establish the following date format YYYY-MM-DD and the decimal notation: 1,234,567.89 as preferences for the ESISYS account.
To maintain security, do not grant a broad security authorization profile, such as SAP_ALL to the ESISYS account. Since this account is not a GUI-enabled dialog-type user account, SAP does not allow end-users to log onto the account via the SAP graphical user interface.
To ensure the authorization profile complies with security policies, review the precise SAP access required by Windchill ESI with your SAP administrators. Determine the acceptable authorization profile for your particular SAP systems. For reference, the primary online transactions that correspond to the APIs used by Windchill ESI are as follows:
