Configuring fax and e-mail with HP SAPConnect server
Task 1: Creating an RFC destination
This section identifies the steps that are necessary to create an RFC destination. To create an RFC destination,
perform the following steps:
1. Start the SAP GUI and log in to the SAP instance in which you want to configure the RFC destination for
SAPconnect.
2. In the R/3 command field, type /nsm59.
3. Under RFC destinations, select and expand TCP/IP connections.
4. On the Edit menu, click Create.
The RFC Destination screen appears.
5. Enter a name in the RFC destination field (for example, DZL_RFC_DESTINATION).
6. Enter T in the Connection type field.
7. Enter a text description of your RFC destination in the Description field.
8. Click Save.
Additional options appear.
9. In Activation Type, select Registered Server Program.
10. Enter the Program ID. For example, HPsapconnect-server.dzl_sapcond, where HPsapconnect-server is the host
name that runs the HP Output Server domain.
11. If the SAP R/3 instance uses a gateway server that runs on another host, type the name of the host in the
Gateway host field.
12. Click Save.
Task 2: Modifying the communication method
You must modify the communication method within SAP R/3 in order for fax or e-mail to deliver through the HP
SAPconnect server. To modify the communication method, perform the following steps:
1. In the R/3 command field, type /nscon.
The SAPconnect: Administration (system status) screen appears.
2. From the Settings menu, click Communication Methods.
The Change View “SAPconnect: Maintenance view - communication methods” screen appears. This screen
contains a table with two columns Type and Method.
3. For type FAX, select method SAPCONNECT. If you are using an HP SAPconnect server to send e-mail
messages to HP Output Server, select SAPCONNECT for type INT.
4. Click Save.
Task 3: Creating a SAPconnect node
After you have defined the communication method and format groups, you then create a SAPconnect node. The
SAPconnect node is the means by which R/3 and the HP SAPconnect server communicate.
NOTE: If you intend to use HP SAPconnect servers for faxing and e-mail, you have to create a
separate SAPconnect node for each: a node for faxing and a node for e-mail messages.
To create a SAPconnect node, perform the following steps:
1. In the R/3 command field, type /nscon.
The SAPconnect: Administration (system status) screen appears.
