- Advanced Settings
- Force Privacy Protection: if this checkbox is activated, only Pseudonymize and Anonymize can be selected when creating a task
- Limit dependency batch size: activate this checkbox if your SAP system uses MaxDB and you therefore have difficulties extracting dependency tables
Important
Limit dependency batch size and the number of system slots should not be changed unless recommended by our support.
Increasing the number of slots can lead to performance problems in your SAP system.

Increasing the number of slots can lead to performance problems in your SAP system.
- System Slots
- 2 slots per SAP system are default: this means that a maximum of two tables can always be extracted simultaneously
- General / Permissions: switch between the tabs for the login information for your SAP system and the permissions to use this connection later.
Note
If you now select teams or individual users in the Permissions area, only these teams or users will later have access to this SAP connection. If you do not select any teams or users here, everyone will have access to this connection.

- Test Connection (the connection to the SAP-system can also be saved without a connection test)
- Test here whether dab Nexus can reach your SAP system with the stored settings (the test may take a few seconds)
- A success message or an error message appears
- Create or Create & Close: as soon as all settings have been entered, the connection data to the SAP system can be saved -> the connection data is saved with Create & Close, the view is automatically exited and you return to the list of stored SAP-systems
After successfully creating the SAP connection, you will receive a success message and the new connection is now available in the list. The following details can be seen:
- Name of the connection to the SAP-system, system ID, IP address or host name, instance number, client, connection information
- Status of the connection test with date and time of the last test
- not tested yet
- successful
- failure
Note
The SAP system stored here cannot be used without a successful connection and registration.

- When hovering over the connection with the mouse: the three dots next to the connection name. The system can be registered (Register), changed (Edit), copied (Clone) or deleted (Delete) here
Important
As soon as an SAP-system has been registered in your dab Nexus, it occupies a place in the license. The number of possible registered SAP-systems can be found in Settings > License & Support in the SAP Configuration area. This shows how many SAP-systems are already registered and the maximum number that can be registered.
