Integrating SAP NetWeaver RFC SDK

To make the connection between Test Manager and your SAP instance work, install SAP NetWeaver RFC SDK 7.50.

Prerequisites:

• Valid SAP user credentials.
• Visual C++ 2013 64-bit

1. Visit SAP Note 2573790 and login with your SAP credentials.
2. In Downloads, search for SAP NW RFC.
3. Click SAP NetWeaver RFC SDK 7.50, select the nwrfc750P_9-70002755.zip file, and download it.
4. Extract it in your C:\ directory and check to see if you have the dll files inside the lib folder.
   For example: C:\lib
5. Set the Path variable as the path of the lib folder that you extracted with the entire SAP NetWeaver RFC SDK 7.50.

Now you can integrate a direct connection between your SAP system and Test Manager.
