SAP Concur Connection¶
Introduction¶
An SAP Concur connection is configured using the SAP Concur connector, establishing access to the SAP Concur endpoint. Once a connection is established, you can configure one or more SAP Concur activities associated with that connection to beused either as a source to provide data to an operation or as a target to consume data in an operation.
Note
This connector supports the Enable Re-authentication on Change organization policy. If enabled, a change to the Host, Username, or Client ID in this connection requires users to re-enter the Password and Client Secret for the connection.
Create or Edit an SAP Concur Connection¶
A new SAP Concur connection is created using the SAP Concur connector from one of these locations:
- The design component palette's Connections tab (see Design Component Palette).
- The Global Connections page (see Create a Global Connection in Global Connections).
An existing SAP Concur connection can be edited from these locations:
- The design component palette's Connections tab (see Design Component Palette).
- The project pane's Components tab (see Component Actions Menu in Project Pane Components Tab).
- The Global Connections page (see Edit a Global Connection in Global Connections).
Configure an SAP Concur Connection¶
Configuration of an SAP Concur connection includes these fields:
Tip
Fields with a variable icon support using global variables, project variables, and Jitterbit variables. Begin either by typing an open square bracket
[
into the field or by clicking the variable icon to display a list of the existing variables to choose from.
-
Connection Name: Enter a name to use to identify the SAP Concur connection. The name must be unique for each SAP Concur connection and must not contain forward slashes (
/
) or colons (:
). This name is also used to identify the SAP Concur endpoint, which refers to both a specific connection and its activities. -
Host: Enter the hostname for the connector in the format of
https://{servername}
, such ashttps://us.api.concursolutions.com
. -
Username: Enter the username for the instance.
-
Password: Enter the password.
-
Client ID: Enter the client ID. For more information, see SAP Concur's connectivity documentation (login required).
-
Client Secret: Enter the client secret. For more information, see SAP Concur's connectivity documentation (login required).
-
Version: Select the version, one of All, v3, v3.1, or v3.2.
-
Test: Click to verify the connection using the provided credentials.
-
Save Changes: Click to save and close the connection configuration.
-
Discard Changes: After making changes to a new or existing configuration, click to close the configuration without saving. A message asks you to confirm that you want to discard changes.
-
Delete: After opening an existing connection configuration, click to permanently delete the connection from the project and close the configuration (see Component Dependencies, Deletion, and Removal). A message asks you to confirm that you want to delete the connection.
Next Steps¶
After configuring an SAP Concur connection, you can configure one or more SAP Concur activities associated with that connection to be used either as a source (to provide data within an operation) or as a target (to consume data within an operation).
Use the Show dropdown to filter on Endpoints, and then click the SAP Concur connection block to display activities that are available to be used with an SAP Concur connection:
For more information, see these activities:
-
Read: Reads all of an object's data at an SAP Concur endpoint and is intended to be used as a source in an operation.
-
Query: Retrieves an object's data using query parameters at an SAP Concur endpoint and is intended to be used as a source in an operation.
-
Create: Creates an object at an SAP Concur endpoint and is intended to be used as a target in an operation.
-
Update: Updates an existing object at an SAP Concur endpoint and is intended to be used as a target in an operation.
-
Delete: Deletes an object from an SAP Concur endpoint and is intended to be used as a target in an operation.
