Access Token for SAP
Configure an access token to connect to SAP.
Background and Setup
Good to Know
- The values in this access token must match the values you entered in the
SAP Connector.
For more information, refer to SAP Integration AgileConnector.
- In most cases, you can use a global access token or
an app level access token:
- Global access tokens are shared across all users and apps. If you want all process designers and runtime app users in your AgilePoint NX tenant to be able to connect to an external data source, use a global access token. An example is a SharePoint site on an intranet that all employees in a company can access.
- Application level access tokens are shared with all processes in a process-based app, or restricted to use within a form-based app. Use application level access tokens if only process designers or runtime app users for a particular application should access an external system — for example, a Box account that is only used to share files within a small team.
- Access tokens are
collections of credentials that are used to authenticate communication directly between
AgilePoint NX and an external system. Because it is the AgilePoint NX system that uses
these credentials, rather than an app, there is no difference between design time and runtime access
tokens. Access tokens are never checked in or published, and they do not use version
control. If you change an access token in App Builder or Manage Center, the access token changes immediately everywhere the access token is used. Changes to
app level access tokens apply to all versions of an app, including running application instances. Changes to global access tokens apply everywhere they are used in AgilePoint NX. You can not roll back an access
token to a previous version.
