1 Introduction

SAP Enterprise Project Connection offers service-oriented architecture (SOA) based on bidirectional enterprise project data orchestration and integration capabilities between SAP applications such as SAP Project System, SAP Plant Maintenance, and SAP Portfolio and Project Management, with third-party Enterprise Project Management systems such as Oracle’s Primavera P6 Enterprise Project Portfolio Management (P6 EPPM) and Microsoft Project Server.

SAP Enterprise Project Connection 3.0 supports SAP ERP as well as SAP S/4HANA, on-premise edition. In this document, SAP ERP implies SAP S/4HANA, on-premise edition.

This installation guide describes the steps required to install and configure SAP Enterprise Project Connection (SAP EPC) components. Also, the guide specifies the sequence of the installation activities and their dependencies.

RecommendationBefore proceeding, see SAP Note 2296611 for the most current installation and configuration news or updates.

2 Planning

To plan your SAP Enterprise Project Connection installation, do the following:

1. For the supported platforms for SAP Enterprise Project Connection 3.0, see the Product Availability Matrix on

SAP Service Marketplace at SAP Service Marketplace at support.sap.com/pam and search for SAP Enterprise Project Connection 3.0

2. Plan your SAP Enterprise Project Connection system landscape.

3. Check your hardware and software requirements for each system landscape component.

4. Determine whether you are installing in Development or Production mode.

NoteIf this is a first time installation of SAP Enterprise Project Connection 3.0, you must be certain of the desired Installation Type. For a deeper understanding of the Installation Types and how they are each used

to manage integration solutions, see SAP Note 2292770 .

5. Determine your configuration activities and assess their respective prerequisites.

Table 2

Installation Type Use Capability

Development (Run from file system) ● Develop integration solutions

● Configure integration solutions

● Test integration solutions

3 Preparation

1. Confirm installation of SAP NetWeaver AS Java 7.5 with the usage type of “Application Server Java”.

NoteSAP Enterprise Project Connection 3.0 supports only SAP NetWeaver AS Java 7.50. See the Product

Availability Matrix on SAP Service Marketplace at SAP Service Marketplace at support.sap.com/pamand search for SAP Enterprise Project Connection 3.0.

2. Prepare third-party Enterprise Project Management system environment.

○ Integration with Oracle's Primavera P6 Enterprise Project Portfolio Management (P6 EPPM):

○ SAP Enterprise Project Connection’s Primavera connector uses the Java-based P6 EPPM Integration API client library which communicates with P6 EPPM Integration API Remote Server to integrate with your P6 EPPM data.

○ The P6 EPPM Integration API must be installed in Remote Mode. This installation includes the following two set-up tasks:

1. Deploy P6 EPPM Integration API in Remote-mode (Server Side application) on an Oracle Primavera supported application server.

2. Install P6 EPPM Integration API Client side libraries on SAP NetWeaver AS Java host machine.

3. You have noted the location where the P6 EPPM Integration API client side library (intgclient jar) is installed; you need to refer to it during the SAP Enterprise Project Connection configuration process.

○ Integration with Microsoft Project Server:

Note the URL for Microsoft Project Server Interface (PSI) that is Microsoft Project Web Access followed

by “_vti_bin/psi”. For example, <ServerName>:<port>/PWA/_vti_bin/psi .

NoteFor more information on preparation, see SAP Note 2294103 .

Users And Roles Created During Installation

There are several users and roles created during the installation, some manually by you, and some automatically by the SAP Configuration Wizard.

For more information regarding these users and their roles, see the Application Operations Guide at

help.sap.com/epc30 .

The following table provides details on these users, their creation, and their usage:

Table 3

User Name Creation Usage

EPC_ADMIN Manually by you after deploying, but before configuration.

● SAP NetWeaver AS Java system user.

● User must be a member of a group called Administrators in SAP

NetWeaver AS Java. You must create this group if it doesn't exist and assign this user to it.

which is created by you in the SAP ERP system before configuration.

● Authenticates communication between SAP ERP and SAP Enterprise Project Connection.

Creating EPCINTERFACE Role in SAP ERP

You use this procedure to create and configure a role for a system user who accesses the SAP Enterprise Project Connection function modules remotely. The SAP Configuration Wizard creates the system user and applies the role to it.
