4.02.2 Configuring SAPRouter

Liquid UI for Android allows you to connect through a SAPRouter, which acts as a proxy between multiple SAP application servers. A SAPRouter also acts as a gateway between an SAP system and an external network where it serves as a port filter as well for security purposes.

In the App, you can configure an SAP server connection by adding your SAP Router IP address and its port number in the designated field.

You need to follow the below-mentioned steps to configure Liquid UI for Android App to connect to your application server through a SAPRouter.

1. Open the Liquid UI for Android App. Click Add Connection to add a new server connection.
   
    
   
    
2. Enter all the necessary details in the fields. However, in the SAP Router field, enter the information in the below-mentioned string format:
   
    

   /H/<SAPRouter IP Address>/S/<SAPRouterport>
   H - Indicates the host name
   S - Indicates the SAP router port number
   W - Indicates password for the SAP router
   

    
   

   Note: When you enter the string on the Liquid UI client, you must enter the IP address alone - Liquid UI will automatically add the '/H/' at the begging and end of the string. If you add the /H/ in your string on the Liquid UI client, the connection will fail - you must enter the IP address by itself.
    
3. Click CONNECT TO MY SAP to save the connection details and then you can see the Application Server connection with an SAP Router created in the Server Connection screen.
   
    
   
    
4. You should now be able to connect to the SAP Router and through it to the designated SAP application server.
   
    
   

   Note: If you are using Liquid UI Server as a SAPRouter, please proceed to the 'Configuring Liquid UI Server as a SAPRouter' section below.
