SAP System connection to Eclipse IDE

Former Member — Thu, 19 Dec 2013 12:45:27 GMT

I've installed Eclipse and ADT on my system, but have no clue to connect my SAP server to the IDE so that I could work on my programs. Could someone help me on this please?

Hi Kiran,

First Change perpective to ABAP. Menu->Window->Open perspective->ABAP

Then, create New ABAP project from menu,

A popup will appear, asking for Connection, here you browse for existing entries on

sap logon pad , select system in which you want to login.

After clicking next, it will ask for username and password, once authenticated you will see system under project explorer.

(Note: logging user should have proper roles & authorizations )

Cheers,

Kherwa

Thanks for your inputs, I followed your instruction. I got an error while trying to connect which asks me to activate SNC, which I did using my SAP Logon.

Now I am getting another error which says:

Logon to system ECC failed (SNC Library not found; environment variable "SNC_LIB" not defined, fallback location does not exist: "C:\\Program Files (x86)\SAP\FrontEnd

Kindly help me out with more inputs.

Thanks & Regards,

Kiran Somaroutu

Hello Kiran,

Check this entry: http://scn.sap.com/community/netweaver-sso/blog/2012/08/17/how-to-configure-sap-netweaver-single-sign-on-for-sap-gui-for-windows-with-kerberos-integration

It has because an environment variable not defined properly.

Is it mandatory to activate SNC and Single Sign on in order to use Eclipse IDE ? Is there no other way around?

No, it's not mandatory. You can connect without SNC. But the environment variables needs to be correctly.

Hi,

It is not mandatory to activate SNC or single sign on, but recommended.so, try without activating SNC in system properties in SAP Logon pad.

Secondly, it will check for proper authorization also, ( for example check standard SAP role is: SAP_BC_DWB_ABAPDEVELOPER )
