Strategy ONE

Download and Install the Java Connector on Linux

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

  1. Go to the SAP Java Connector page of the SAP Support Portal and download the SAP Java Connector.

    Strategy 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.

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

  2. Choose the zip file compatible with your environment and unzip it. For example, use the command gunzip[file name] or gzip [file name].

  3. Search for the files listed in the following table, copy them onto your machine, and create a new directory for them. For example, /var/opt/MicroStrategy/SAP.

    SUN Linux
    libsapjco3.so libsapjco3.so
    sapjco3.jar sapjco3.jar
  4. Add sapjco.jar or sapjco3.jar to the Strategy installation directory [HOME_PATH]/install/jar.
  5. Add libsapjco3.so to the Strategy installation directory [HOME_PATH]/install/lib.
