Requirements for SAP BTP and SAP S/4HANA Cloud Integration

The following are the requirements for Loftware Integration for SAP® BTP and S/4HANA® Cloud and Loftware Automation when using Loftware Cloud to integrate with SAP® Business Technology Platform or SAP S/4HANA® Cloud.

SAP BTP and SAP S/4HANA Cloud Requirements

If you are integrating a Loftware labeling solution with SAP BTP or SAP S/4HANA Cloud, you must meet the following requirements.

Component Requirement

SAP BTP

If you are integrating with SAP BTP, your SAP administrator must have an SAP BTP account and access to the SAP BTP Cockpit. This account must either have the Global Account Administrator role collection or otherwise have administrative control of the subaccount used for print queue management. The account must be subscribed to the SAP Print Service and must be used to configure a receiver instance on the SAP Print Service. This receiver instance must have a role enabling it to manage print queues. It is not necessary to install SAP Cloud Print Manager.

SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

If you are integrating with SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition, your SAP administrator must have an SAP account with the SAP_BR_ADMINISTRATOR business role assigned so that your SAP administrator can create a communication arrangement and a print queue. The communication arrangement must include SAP users for inbound and outbound communication. It is not necessary to install SAP Cloud Print Manager.

Loftware Cloud Requirements for Integration

If integrating Loftware Cloud (not including Loftware Cloud Enterprise SP) with SAP® Business Technology Platform and SAP S/4HANA® Cloud Public Edition, the following are required.

Component Requirement

Loftware license

A Loftware Cloud license that includes the following:

  • Loftware Cloud Business edition,
    Loftware Cloud Compliance edition, or
    Loftware Cloud Enterprise edition,
    version 24.2 or later
  • Loftware Automation
  • SAP Integration

Loftware Automation

The Loftware Automation configuration file (.misx) and the solution file (.nsln) that support SAP BTP and SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition. These files can be installed before or after Loftware Integration for SAP BTP and S/4HANA Cloud is installed.

Loftware Cloud subscription key

A Loftware Cloud subscription key, which can be created before or after Loftware Integration for SAP BTP and S/4HANA Cloud is installed.

For general information about requirements for Loftware Cloud, see System Requirements.

Loftware Automation Requirements

  • Automation must be installed in the default location on your server.

  • Automation prerequisites:

    • Printer drivers must be installed. You can install printer drivers directly on your computer, or you can register the drivers from the print server you may have.

      Note: For the best printing experience, we recommend you install Loftware drivers.

      To install Loftware printer drivers, see the Printer Driver Installation Guide.

      If you already have printer manufacturer's drivers, you can replace them with Loftware printer drivers to optimize your printing process.

      If you already have Loftware printer drivers, we recommend you update them to the latest versions. See Updating printer drivers.

    • All printers must be visible to the computer and the user account under which the Automation Service runs. Automation creates print jobs on this computer and sends them to the printers using Windows Spooler. The printers must be accessible for printing for the user account under which Automation Service runs. Make sure to use a real user account when using network printers. (Do not use a Local System Account.)
