Dependencies

The connector makes use of SAP Java Connector (JCo) v3.1.8 released by SAP. According to the license of SAP JCo it is not allowed to bundle it with other software. Therefore, JCo needs to be obtained separately from the SAP Marketplace, see SAP JCo.

A minimal configuration example is also included as ohja-rfc-source-connector.properties file. The connector makes heavy use of validators and recommenders and has been tested with the Confluent Control Center UI.

Command line tool
