## Summary of Requirements for installing Zero Copy Connector for ERP
Before installing the Zero Copy Connector for ERP, ServiceNow customers must complete specific configurations on both their ERP system and the ServiceNow AI Platform.
This preparation ensures seamless integration and data exchange between systems.
Show full answer Show less
## Key Prerequisites
* **Licensing:** Verify entitlements to confirm access to Zero Copy Connector for ERP.
* **Required Plugins:** Activate the Integration Hub plugin and the Financial Services Remote Tables plugin in your ServiceNow instance.
* **MID Server:** A MID Server is necessary for on-premises ERP systems with valid connection credentials matching the ERP service user. For cloud solutions like S/4HANA Cloud or SuccessFactors, MID Server is not required.
* **Supported ERP Systems:** SAP ECC (minimum SAP Netweaver 7.31) and SAP S/4HANA are supported for Zero Copy Connector and ERP Semantic Mining.
## MID Server Configuration
* Include Zero Copy Connector for ERP in the Supported Applications and Capabilities tabs of the selected MID Server.
* Assign the **snerpintegration.erpmidserver** role to the **miduser** account to enable use of the ImportSet API for data transmission.
## SAP Authorization Requirements
* **Development System:** Use an SAP service-type user with specific authorization objects such as **SRFC** (Execute) for certain function modules and **STABUNAM** (Display) for specified tables.
* **Production and Test Systems:** Similar SAP service user authorizations are required, with a focus on executing necessary function modules and display access to relevant tables.
## SAP Proprietary Files
* Obtain and attach SAP proprietary JAR and native library files to the MID Server records:
* **sapjco3.dll** for Windows MID Servers
* **libsapjco3.so** for Linux MID Servers
* **sapjco3.jar** for both platforms
* Create these records under All \> MID Server \> JAR Files and be prepared for multiple MID Server restarts during synchronization.
## SAP and MID Server Configuration Details
* Configure the SAP Java Connector (JCo) prior to installation by following SAP Help Portal guidelines.
* Add the DuckDB JDBC jar as a MID Server JAR file to support data processing.
## Summary of Supported Environments
* SAP ECC with a minimum of SAP Netweaver 7.31
* All versions of SAP S/4HANA
* Properly configured SAP Java Connector (JCo)
By fulfilling these requirements, ServiceNow customers can ensure a smooth installation and operation of the Zero Copy Connector for ERP, enabling efficient data integration and leveraging ERP semantic mining capabilities.
Before you install Zero Copy Connector for ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning), you must complete several configurations on both the ERP system and the ServiceNow AI Platform.
## Licensing {#erpc-prereqs-for-installation__section_hs3_nqg_qyb}
Check your entitlements to determine whether you have access to Zero Copy Connector for ERP. For more information, see .
## ServiceNow AI Platform plugins {#erpc-prereqs-for-installation__section_kgq_4qg_qyb}
The following plugins are required to install Zero Copy Connector for ERP:
* Integration Hub plugin (for more information, see [Request Integration Hub](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/6Lp3j2DAY4g6m~ROtVcCKw "ServiceNow Integration Hub enables you to build reusable integrations with third-party systems and call them from anywhere in the ServiceNow AI Platform. For example, you can call external systems using integration APIs from the Action Designer Script step or run the Script step on the ServiceNow MID Server. You can also activate protocol steps such as REST, SOAP, and PowerShell."))
* Financial Services Remote Tables plugin (for more information, see [Activate the remote tables plugin](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=activate-remote-tables-plugin&version=australia&pubname=australia-servicenow-platform&ft:locale=en-US))
{#erpc-prereqs-for-installation__ul_jcc_s43_fxb}
## MID Server requirements {#erpc-prereqs-for-installation__section_sxq_wlk_wwb}
Note:
If you use a cloud solution, such as S/4HANA Cloud or SuccessFactors, MID Server is not required.
Communicating with the ERP system through a MID Server requires a valid connection and credential alias.
Note:
The credentials you specify for the Zero Copy Connector for ERP connection must match the service user credentials in the ERP system.
Zero Copy Connector for ERP and ERP Semantic Mining support ECC (minimum SAP Netweaver 7.31) and SAP S/4HANA systems.
Navigate to AllMID ServerServers, select a MID Server, and add the following:
* In the Supported applications tab, edit the list to include Zero Copy Connector for ERP.
* In the Capabilities tab, add Zero Copy Connector for ERP.
{#erpc-prereqs-for-installation__ul_yz4_gdl_cjc}For more information, see [MID Server](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=mid-server-landing&version=australia&pubname=australia-servicenow-platform&ft:locale=en-US).
Assign the sn_erp_integration.erp_mid_server role to the mid_user account. The role enables the MID Server to use the ImportSet API to send data to the ServiceNow instance.
1. Navigate to AllUser AdministrationUsers.
2. Find and select the mid_user.
3. Select the Roles tab.
4. Select Edit.
5. Find and assign the sn_erp_integration.erp_mid_server role.

* Create a record called "SAP Jco so" and attach libsapjco3.so. Use this file if your MID Server is installed on a Linux server.
* Create a record called "SAP JCO Jar" and attach sapjco3.jar. Use this file for both Windows and Linux.
{#erpc-prereqs-for-installation__sap-ecc-rfc-spoke_ul_agf_vpp_xmb}
Note:
Create the records at AllMID ServerJAR Files. For more information about creating JAR files and adding attachments, see [Synchronize a JAR file to MID Servers](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=t_SynchronizeAJARFiletoMIDServers&version=australia&pubname=australia-servicenow-platform&ft:locale=en-US).
The MID Server restarts multiple times during this process.
For details about these files, see [SAP ECC RFC Spoke](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/X6PSrx5~2N0cYtv1qvDMcg "The SAP ECC RFC spoke is built by Bristlecone, Inc. Manage items, journals, procurements, and others, in SAP ECC RFC account from your ServiceNow instance.").
## SAP configuration {#erpc-prereqs-for-installation__section_hfx_rqg_qyb}
You must configure the JCO connector before you install Zero Copy Connector for ERP. For more information, see [Installing the SAP Java Connection (JCo)](https://help.sap.com/docs/SAP_ANALYTICS_CLOUD/00f68c2e08b941f081002fd3691d86a7/ffe3b941e82641bc97b76ce522423d83.html) on the SAP Help Portal.
