What is the IBM iSeries® Navigator System Management Plug-in for SAP?
This plug-in is a JavaTM-based program that allows the user to view the current state of mulitple iSeries SAP environments from a single application. Tools are provided for viewing information related to the current state of a SAP system on the iSeries. These include the process overview, developer traces, and the iSeries subsystem in which the SAP instance is currently running. In addition, the user is provided with the abiltity to start and stop all instances or individual instances.
The included tools are designed to provide basic interaction with the SAP system, as well as to provide a reference in case the end user wishes to expand the plug-in and create additional functions tailored to a customer's individual environment. The source code has been provided for this purpose.
How does it work? This plug-in was written in Java with the use of the SAP Java Connector (SAP JCo) classes and the IBM iSeries Toolbox classes. These classes provide the mechanisms by which the plug-in can view and interact with the SAP subsystem and its current state. The SAP JCo classes are available for downloading from the SAP service Web site.
The plug-in uses Java, the iSeries Java Toolbox classes, the iSeries Navigator Java classes, and the SAP Java Connector classes in order to interact with an SAP System on the iSeries.
