Download and Install the Java Connector on Windows

After reviewing the Prerequisites for Connecting to SAP BW Servers, begin the connection process as follows:

1. Open the SAP Service Marketplace and download the SAP Java Connector.

   MicroStrategy supports the use of version 3.x. You must download and install the 64-bit version of the 3.x Java Connector for Intelligence Servers hosted on a 64-bit machine.

   As part of the SAP Java Connector installation, you are required to install the new Visual Studio .NET C/C++ run-time libraries on Windows platforms. See SAP Note 684106 for details on how to install them.

   For information on what SAP Java Connector you need to support your SAP BW system, refer to your third-party SAP BW documentation.

2. Install the SAP Java Connector.

3. Place the following Sapjco3.jar and Sapjco3.dll files in the MicroStrategy Common Files folder.

   The default location of this folder is C:\Program files\Common files\MicroStrategy. This folder must be referenced in the system's Path environment variable.

   To verify that the directory is included in the value for the Path variable, view the Path environment by right-clicking on My Computer and choosing Properties> Advanced and choose Environment Variables. In the list of System Variables, locate Path. The directory should be listed in the environment variable.

Upon completing the installation, see Create a Database Instance for Your SAP BW Connection for next steps.
