# Theobald ERPConnect License

In addition, it is also necessary to license the Theobald ERPConnect component by obtaining a valid license key which must be encrypted using the tool *String Encrypter* available in the installation CD in the folder ``packages\Cmf.ERPLicenseEncrypter.6.1.0.zip``. The encrypted string must be set in the configuration file of each application server under the entry **ERPConnectorLic** in the **SapConnector** section of the ``.config`` file together with the remaining ERP configuration entries, as listed in the next section.

## ERP Application Configuration Entry Files

The table below describes the ERP application configuration entries of the SapConnector section ``.config`` of the Critical Manufacturing application.

| Key | Description | Example |
| --- | ----------- | ------- |
| **ERPMgmtActive** | Enable or disable ERP integration - this flag will determine if the Critical Manufacturing will be able to send and receive information from SAP (true, false) | ``true`` |
| **ERPHost** | The SAP server name | ``/H/saprouter.mycompany.com/H/m2bsrv03`` |
| **ERPSystemNumber** | The SAP system number | ``0`` |
| **ERPService** | The name of the gateway in SAP, which is usually a string that results from the concatenation of the constant `sapgw` with the system number (i.e: sapgw00) | ``sapgw00`` |
| **ERPProgramID** | The Registered Server Program name (this must match the Registered Server Program defined in SAP in transaction SM59) | ``ZERPCONNECT`` |
| **ERPUser** | The user name used to connect to the SAP system | ``user001`` |
| **ERPPwd** | The user password used to connect to the SAP system | ``12345678`` |
| **ERPClient** | The SAP client (usually a number) | ``800`` |
| **ERPLanguage** |A two letter string that defines the language to be used for the SAP integration (e.g.: EN for English or DE for German) | ``EN`` |
| **ERPConnectorLic** | ERP connector license string - this string must be encrypted from the original license string and using the tool Script Encrypter included in the ``Software\cmNavigo`` Tools directory | ``Encrypted license key text`` |

## Configuring ERP Integration

Critical Manufacturing ships with a generic ERP Integration solution that is capable of working with different ERPs. This configuration is based on three tables listed below, filled with sample configuration data for illustration purposes:

### IntegrationSystem (Lookup Table)

Used to define the different systems to be integrated.

| Value | Description |
| ----- | ----------- |
| **MES**   | MES         |
| **ERP**   | ERP         |

Table: IntegrationSystem Lookup Table

### IntegrationHandler (Generic Table)

Used to register the assembly to be used for the integration.

| Name | AssemblyQualifiedName |
| ---- | --------------------- |
| **SapIntegrationHandler** | Cmf.Foundation.Integration.SapConnector.SapIntegrationPackage, Cmf.Foundation.Integration.SapConnector, Version=4.2.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=6bbf07329f6aa8df |

Table: IntegrationHandler Generic Table

### IntegrationHandlerResolution (Smart Table)

Used to define the assembly to be used for a particular integration between two systems.

| FromSystem | ToSystem | MessageType | HandlerType |
| ---------- | -------- | ----------- | ----------- |
| **MES** | **ERP** | | SapIntegrationHandler |
| **ERP** | **MES** | | SapIntegrationHandler |
