Add Default User Credentials to a Connection

This task is performed by an Administrator.

Before performing this task:

• Gather information about the instance, such as the application server name, system number and log in credentials.
• Add an SAP connection. Refer to Establish a Connection via a Direct Connection to the Application Server  and Establish a Connection via a Message Server for more information.

Integrate and dspCompose™ templates use connections to a data source to download data from a target system. A process template posts data to the instance. Refer to Establish a Connection to a Target System Overview for general information.

NOTE: If a user adds a request based on a template and does not select a connection ID, the default connection assigned to the Integrate Template is used for the request.

When connecting to SAP, the default credentials are used for all users except for those with user credentials set on the Data Source Registry User Credentials page. Refer to Add User Credentials to a Target System Connection for a Specific User for more information.
