Adapter for SAP/R3 Setting Execution Mode

From the Change Settings page for SAP, you can select Online or Batch from the Execution mode drop-down menu.

Online is the default, which sets the Adapter for SAP/R3 to dialog processing mode. The report is executed online and subject to the application server idle timeout limits.

Batch sets the Adapter for SAP/R3 to batch processing mode. Use this option in cases where a WebFOCUS report requires longer processing time than the default set for dialog/online processing mode.

Adapter for SAP/R3: Support for Strict Mode in Release 7.40 and Up

Starting with Release 7.40, SAP implemented a stricter check for and enforcement of Open SQL syntax rules:

To enable a user to control use of strict mode, the following command has been introduced.

ENGINE SQLSAP SET SQLSTRICTMODE {ON|OFF|AUTO}

where:

ON

Enforces use of strict mode, regardless of the target SAP system capabilities.

OFF

Turns off strict mode.

AUTO

Sets strict mode automatically depending on the target SAP system kernel release (Kernel 740 SP02 and higher support ON). This is the default value.

To revert to the automatic setting, issue the following command.

ENGINE SQLSAP SET SQLSTRICTMODE RESET
