To define the SAP system
library, use the
New Library wizard from
the Data Library Manager in SAS Management Console.
The SAP system library
uses the SAP LIBNAME engine to connect to and communicate with the
SAP system where your data is stored. For more information about the
SAP LIBNAME engine, see
SAS/ACCESS Interface to R/3: User's
Guide.
If you use both the
SAP
BW Register Tables and
SAP R/3 Register Tables wizard,
you need an SAP system library for each system. These must be defined
in SAS Management Console. An administrator typically defines them.
