Shared destination name field
displayed. The shared destination allows the SAP components to use the
shared destination on the Talend Runtime when they are executed as part of
an ESB Route or ESB Data Service within the Talend Runtime
container OSGi Environment.

This option is available only when you select sap jco
3.\* from the SAP API Version
drop-down list.

Besides specifying the shared destination name in the component,
you also need to setup the SAP DataSource for the Talend Runtime.
What you need to do to define the SAP DataSource and how to configure it are
described in the readme.txt provided in the Talend ESB
package within the /add-ons/datasource/sap folder.

Note that if you use the component's own connection configuration,
your SAP connection will be closed at the end of the component. To prevent
this from happening, use a shared destination with its name specified. | | SAP Properties | If you need to use custom configuration for the SAP system being used, complete this table with the property or properties to be customized. For example,
