The SAP CPS RFC server allows ABAP stacks to connect to SAP CPS and interact
with the scheduler. The SAP CPS interfaces with the SAP Applications API. At the
time of this writing, the following SAP components have been optimized for SAP
CPS RFC server.
You start the RFC server by setting the process
server parameter SAP_EnableRfcServer to true on the process server that belongs to the SAP
System which will connect to the RFC server. You can connect to multiple SAP CPS
process servers to a single SAP instance and you can enable an RFC server for
each of them, however, when this is the case you should set the process server
parameter SAP_API_DefaultScheduler for each, it should be set to false on all SAP process servers except one, which is
the default scheduler for the SAP Applications API of that SAP instance. The
value of this scheduler parameter is set to true
by default.
Procedure
Enabling the RFC server in SAP CPS- Navigate to Environment > Process Servers
- Choose Edit from the context menu of the process server belonging to the SAP Instance you want to connect from.
- On the Parameters tab, choose New.
- Fill SAP_EnableRfcServer into the Name field and true into the Value field.
- If there are more process servers with the RFC server enabled connecting to
this instance:
- Choose New, fill SAP_API_DefaultScheduler into the Name field, and true or false into the Value field, only one SAP API default scheduler is allowed per SAP instance.
- Choose Save & Close.
- Choose Stop from the context menu of the process server, wait for the process server to be marked as Shutdown in the ui.
- Choose Start from the context menu of the process server.

You configure SAP CPS to control communication channels by creating a user in the NetWeaver AS JAVA with the required authorizations and use this user in SAP CPS to connect to the SAP instance via the PI interface.
Prerequisites
- You switched to external control in the Communication Channel Monitor.
- You created a user in NetWeaver, in Visual Administrator for example, and assigned the xi_af_channel_admin_display and xi_af_channel_admin_modify roles to the sap.com/com.sap.aii.af.app*AdapterFramework application for the user.
Procedure
Configure SAP CPS to control the communication channels:- Navigate to Environment > SAP System.
- Choose Edit from the context menu of the SAP System.
- On the J2EE tab, select PI and enter the username and password of the user you created previously in SAP NetWeaver.
- Choose Save & Close.
- Navigate to Environment > Process Servers and restart the process server belonging to the SAP instance.
Note
If you have the Free of Charge license, you cannot use a same SAP System to
connect to two or more of the following interfaces: JXBP, XBP and PI.

The SAP module allows you to connect to SAP Systems, and provides the default SAP job definitions.
SAP CPS requires an RFC user on every SAP AS (ABAP) system with specific privileges and connection details which are stored in SAP Systems repository objects.
- Setting up XBP 2.0 functionality on SAP Systems offering XBP 2.0.
- Setting up an SAP RFC user with the necessary privileges and connecting to SAP Systems.
- Using the default SAP job definitions
- Setting up Message Driven Beans Scheduling
The following two combinations are frequently used:
Connection to a message server
MSHOST=<MS host> R3NAME=<SID> GROUP=<group>
Connection to a central or dialogue instance
ASHOST=<CI/DI-hostname> SYSNR=<Sys-Number> TRACE=0
Configuration
The configuration for each SAP System is managed through the Environment > SAP Systems view. No standard SAP Systems are provided with SAP CPS.For each SAP System, you can configure the following:
- General settings like name and RFC connect string.
- One or more client connections for the XBP interface.
- Zero or more job control rules.
- Zero or one client connection for the XAL interface.
- Zero or one client connection for the XMW interface.
- Multiple Event Synchronization rules (requires XBP 3.0)
- One JXBP connection (in isolated mode, you cannot have two or more of XBP, PI/XI or JXBP connections in the same SAP CPS object; see the license restrictions below)
- One PI/XI connection (in isolated mode, you cannot have two or more of XBP, PI/XI or JXBP connections in the same SAP CPS object; see the license restrictions below)
Likewise, you need to set up accounts in the JAVA stack for JXBP (Java Scheduler connectivity) and PI/XI (SAP Communication Channel connectivity).

A license enables certain licensed features, features that require a license item include:
- Scripting module
- Mail module
- SNMP module
- Import/Export module
- Expiration date
- Number of SAP Systems
- Number of platform agents
When you lack a license key, that license key will automatically have the value of false.
Navigate to Configuration > License Keys to inspect your license.
Your license should look similar to the one below:
Module.Scripting true Module.ImportExport true ProcessServerService.External.limit 100 ProcessServerService.OS.limit 100 ProcessServerService.SAP.limit 2 company.contract SLA-MSLN-PROD-1 company.name Masalan Inc product.expiry 20100630 request.requesting_version M37 signature 1;a300a310a300600a318a319a320a321a330a330400a33020040.id |
Note:
In the above license, the licensee can create 100 external schedulers in
total, that could mean 100 OS process servers and no SAP process servers or 98
OS process servers and 2 SAP process servers, for example. It does not
mean that the licensee can create 102 (100 OS and 2 SAP) process servers.
