How is a connection from KTern to SAP made? Would the connector have to be installed on every machine

KTern.AI’s automated capabilities shall be utilized for ERP transformation project, thanks to the communication between KTern.AI – SAP Netweaver RFC Connector and SAP Netweaver Application Server by means of standard RFC protocol. It combines an easy-to-use standard business APIs provided by SAP with unprecedented performance for KTern.AI's analysis, processing using KTern.AI's IP Engine for SAP mining and to finally store only the processed results in the data center.  KTern.AI IP Engine enabled RFC communication is a non-invasive approach, leveraging on the pre-defined, standard RFC enabled business APIs, function modules in the system and it does not require any software plugins/addons to be installed in SAP system/server.

The RFC communication is achieved through the secured SAP gateway via 33xx port, where xx is the instance number of the corresponding SAP ECC / SAP S/4HANA system. As the integration is viewed in terms of technical interoperability, KTern.AI Customer Success Team shall guide and provide the required support for leveraging on the same to run and experience the analyzed results in KTern.AI application for better adoption. The enablement of application users and the client IT team shall also be ensured for better transparency and viability in the overall process of KTern.AI On-Premise RFC communication.

The KTern.AI Connector does not require its installation. It requires only to download and launch seamlessly for the SAP communication, with the pre-requisites adhered. The connector is not required to be used in every SAP user machine. The connector is required only by the user who would initiate the required connection and automation, for instance, it could be the creation of change impact mine in KTern.AI Digital Mines - Autonomous Enterprise Release Impact (AERI). Once the results are available, the insights can be accessed by all KTern.AI application users of the respective project.
