Add Stored Credentials as a User on a Page in Integrate or dspCompose™

Credentials allow users to add and maintain their user name and password for a data source where data is to be posted or where BDC and GUI Scripts are recorded. Changes made to target system data can be tracked to this user.

Before performing this task, the Template Administrator must add a template. Refer to Create a Template Based on a New BDC Recording and Create a Template Based on a New GUI Recording in dspCompose™ or Manage Templates in Integrate for more information.

The user credentials for the connection can be supplied using different methods. Refer to User Credentials in dspCompose™ for more information.

In Integrate, a user can store credentials for BDC Script, GUI Script, BAPI and RFC template types. In dspCompose™, credentials can be stored for BDC scripts and GUI scripts.

NOTE: A user can add one set of stored credentials for the user name per data source.  

NOTE: Credentials are required when recording a BDC Script or GUI Script. If the system does not detect credentials when the user clicks the Record icon on the Template page’s Vertical View in Integrate, or clicks the Record icon on the Create Template (Recording) page in dspCompse™, the User Credentials page displays and the user must add credentials. Refer to User Credentials in dspCompose™ for more information.  If credentials are detected, the recording process continues as expected  

NOTE: The data source for the template is associated with the connection selected in the CONNECTION ID list box on the Template page’s Horizontal View in Integrate. In dspCompose™, the connection is selected on the Vertical View of the Templates page. When the connection is set, the data source for the template is also set.
