SAP element does not connect with user-supplied connection properties

[CR #427882] When you create an SAP portlet in Web Studio, you see errors in this scenario:

  1. Select Create Portlet, and choose SAP for type.

  2. Choose “Direct Connection,” then select Details.

  3. Modify the default values with your own values.

  4. Click Find.

  5. Click Find Object.

Web Studio attempts—and fails—to connect using the sapjco.properties file instead of using the values you provided.

Workaround: Do not use the “Direct Connection” option when creating a new SAP portlet, as you should use it only for playback purposes.

Instead, use “Connection Pool.” This allows you to choose from a list of preconfigured connection pools. The list of available preconfigured connections comes from the list specified in global.properties.xml. The default ConnectionPool is used for both capture and playback.
