Applying "com.sapportals.connectors.sap" via SDM

[Former Member]

I obtained the above fix to the portal relating to an RFC problem. When I applied it, I got the following message

I am assuming this isn't good as I have been told by the developers that we cannot connect to R/3 at all now.

1. What is SAPFactory, and where can I find it.

2. Has anyone seen this before?

Any help gratefully received.

Hi Paul,

version data will always help on requests like that...

The SAPFactory is basically the connector implentation for sap systems (SAPCFConnector.rar). You can find the configuration in Visual Admin -> server -> services -> Eisconnector (6.20) or Connector Container (6.40).
