Hi JC_Hackkett, 

I'm facing a similar issue with an SAP connection. I was informed that a Database Type connection needs to be created for SAP for ERPConnect. We have added all the necessary DLLs to the local SIC gateway server, and the BR compiles successfully. However, it seems that the connection to SAP is not being established. Here's what we did:

  1. Created a Gateway of Database Type Connection.
  2. Added all the DLLs.
  3. Created an SIF which compiles successfully.
  4. When the External BR referencing the SIF BR is run, it does not establish a connection with SAP.

Can you please help me understand the steps you took to create a data source if you opted for a direct connection? We were informed that creating a data source is not required.
