System User Creation and Authorization

1. Log in to your SAP system with administrator privileges

2. Execute transaction SU01 to create a new system user:

   • Enter a unique username (e.g., CLOUDFEED_SRV)

   • Set user type as 'System'

   • Assign a secure password following your organization's password policy

   • Set password never expires flag

3. Assign the CloudFeed connector role:

   • In SU01, go to the "Roles" tab

   • Add role /CLF/CONNECTOR_ROLE

   • Save the user

Environment Parameters Configuration

1. Execute transaction RZ10

2. Select profile parameter maintenance:

   icm/HTTP/port_<xx> = <port_number>
   icm/host_name_full = <fully_qualified_hostname>
   login/system_client = <client_number>
   
   

3. Maintain the following parameters in transaction SICF:

   • Activate the CloudFeed service node

   • Path: /sap/cloudfeed/

   • Service type: HTTP

ICF Service Activation

1. Execute transaction SICF

2. Navigate to:

   • default_host > sap > cloudfeed

3. Right-click on the service and select "Activate"

4. Confirm service activation

Connectivity Test

1. Prerequisites for testing:

   • SAP system is running

   • ICF services are active

   • System user is created and role is assigned

   • Network ports are open

2. Test URL format:

   http://<sap-server>:<port>

   Replace:

   • <sap-server> with your SAP server hostname

   • <port> with your configured HTTP port

3. Expected results:

   • HTTP 200 response

   • JSON output containing T000 table preview data

   • 10 rows of data displayed

Troubleshooting Connection Issues

1. HTTP Connection Failures:

   • Verify ICF service activation status

   • Check port availability using transaction SMICM

   • Confirm firewall settings

2. Authorization Errors:

   • Verify role assignment using SU01

   • Check role contents in PFCG

   • Review security audit log

3. Service Not Found:

   • Check ICF node activation

   • Verify URL path

   • Review ICF logs

Security Considerations

1. Network Security:

   • Use HTTPS instead of HTTP in production

   • Implement reverse proxy if required

   • Configure appropriate firewall rules

2. User Management:

   • Follow principle of least privilege

   • Regular password rotation

   • Audit user activities

Verification Checklist

• System user created successfully

• /CLF/CONNECTOR_ROLE assigned

• Environment parameters configured

• ICF services activated

• Connectivity test successful

• Security measures implemented

Next Steps

1. Configure additional features:

   • Set up data extraction jobs

   • Configure cloud platform integration

   • Set up monitoring

2. Perform system testing:

   • Run full extraction test

   • Verify data accuracy

   • Test error handling
