Summary :
SAPconnect interface configuration involves specifying correct formats and device types to ensure effective document conversion. Common issues arise during conversion such as SAPscript control sequences being incorrectly output instead of the intended formatted documents. From Release 3.1x, formats are grouped and assigned to nodes, while from Release 4.0, formats are assigned directly in node maintenance. Proper selection and setup of conversion rules in node maintenance are critical, ensuring only compatible formats are chosen to avoid conversion failures. Formats like SCR, OTF, or ALI should not be assigned unless supported by external systems. Additionally, the conversion rules should be prioritized to streamline processing and minimize errors, facilitating smoother SAPconnect operations and external communication.
