T ABLE 4-3 SAP RFC Connection Types
One of the common problems encountered while integrating older SAP releases with
SAP releases starting with NW 7.0 is the changes to the password rules. Starting with NW
7.0, SAP supports a password length up to 40 characters and differentiates between upper-
case and lowercase passwords. Earlier SAP releases supported a password length of eight
characters and any lowercase passwords were automatically converted to uppercase. In or-
der to resolve this issue easily, it is recommended to use an uppercase password of up to
eight characters in length where you are integrating a newer SAP release into older SAP re-
leases in a system landscape. OSS Notes 1023437 and 862989 provide additional details and
recommendations for passwords that will help with integrating older SAP releases into the
newer release landscape.
SAPconnect
SAPconnect allows a SAP ABAP system to send external communication to systems such
as a SAP-certified fax, page, and e-mail solutions. SAPconnect can be set up using transac-
tion code SCOT. The following procedure is used to set up a Simple Mail Transport Pro-
tocol (SMTP) connection so that e-mails can be sent from SAP applications to external e-
mail systems. The integration settings are performed in transaction code SCOT. Enter trans-
action code SCOT, double-click the SMTP node, and enter the configuration as per Figure
4-7 .
