Use this page to select
the configured SAP application server to use to connect to your SAP
system and read metadata for the tables and objects that are defined
in your SAP database. The configured SAP server definition identifies
the SAP login profile to use to connect to your SAP system and the
SAS library that stores the SAP system metadata. You can also use
the SAP Server page to view the SAP server
parameters and test the SAP server connection.
Note: The SAP server must be registered
in SAS Management Console before you can use SAS Data Surveyor for
SAP tools. For more information about registering SAP servers, see
the Server Manager Help in SAS Management Console.
