+ # Installation Guide
2
+
3
+ **Version:** see [CHANGELOG.md](../CHANGELOG.md)
4
+
5
+ ## Prerequisites
6
+
7
+ - Node.js >= 18.0.0
8
+ - npm or yarn package manager
9
+ - Access to SAP ABAP system (on-premise or BTP)
10
+
11
+ ## Installation
12
+
13
+ ### As NPM Package (Recommended)
14
+
15
+ ```bash
16
+ npm install @mcp-abap-adt/connection
17
+ ```
18
+
19
+ ### With Yarn
20
+
21
+ ```bash
22
+ yarn add @mcp-abap-adt/connection
23
+ ```
24
+
25
+ ### From Source
26
+
27
+ ```bash
28
+ git clone https://github.com/fr0ster/mcp-abap-connection.git
29
+ cd mcp-abap-connection
30
+ npm install
31
+ npm run build
32
+ ```
33
+
34
+ ## Environment Setup
35
+
36
+ ### Basic Authentication (On-Premise)
37
+
38
+ Create a `.env` file in your project root:
39
+
40
+ ```bash
41
+ SAP_URL=https://your-sap-server.com:8000
42
+ SAP_CLIENT=100
43
+ SAP_AUTH_TYPE=basic
44
+ SAP_USERNAME=your-username
45
+ SAP_PASSWORD=your-password
46
+ ```
47
+
48
+ ### JWT Authentication (SAP BTP Cloud)
49
+
50
+ When using the `sap-abap-auth` CLI tool, the generated `.env` file will include token expiry information:
51
+
52
+ ```bash
53
+ # Token Expiry Information (auto-generated)
54
+ # JWT Token expires: Monday, December 25, 2025 at 10:30:45 AM UTC
55
+ # JWT Token expires at: 2025-12-25T10:30:45.000Z
56
+ # Refresh Token expires: Tuesday, January 25, 2026 at 10:30:45 AM UTC
57
+ # Refresh Token expires at: 2026-01-25T10:30:45.000Z
58
+
59
+ SAP_URL=https://your-instance.abap.cloud.sap
60
+ SAP_CLIENT=100
61
+ SAP_AUTH_TYPE=jwt
62
+ SAP_JWT_TOKEN=your-jwt-token
63
+
64
+ # Note: Token refresh is handled by @mcp-abap-adt/auth-broker package
65
+ # Connection package does not use refresh token credentials
66
+ ```
67
+
68
+ **Manual Setup:** If creating `.env` manually (without CLI), you can omit the expiry comments:
69
+
70
+ ```bash
71
+ SAP_URL=https://your-instance.abap.cloud.sap
72
+ SAP_CLIENT=100
73
+ SAP_AUTH_TYPE=jwt
74
+ SAP_JWT_TOKEN=your-jwt-token
75
+
76
+ # Note: Token refresh is handled by @mcp-abap-adt/auth-broker package
77
+ # Connection package does not use refresh token credentials
78
+ ```
79
+
80
+ ### Loading Environment Variables
81
+
82
+ In your code:
83
+
84
+ ```typescript
85
+ import 'dotenv/config'; // or require('dotenv').config();
86
+ import { createAbapConnection } from '@mcp-abap-adt/connection';
87
+
88
+ const config = {
89
+ url: process.env.SAP_URL!,
90
+ client: process.env.SAP_CLIENT,
91
+ authType: process.env.SAP_AUTH_TYPE as 'basic' | 'jwt',
92
+ username: process.env.SAP_USERNAME,
93
+ password: process.env.SAP_PASSWORD,
94
+ jwtToken: process.env.SAP_JWT_TOKEN,
95
+ // Note: Token refresh credentials are not used by connection package
96
+ // Token refresh is handled by @mcp-abap-adt/auth-broker
97
+ };
98
+ ```
99
+
100

153
+ authType: 'basic',
154
+ username: 'your-username',
155
+ password: 'your-password',
156
+ client: '100'
157
+ };
158
+
159
+ const logger = {
160
+ info: (msg) => console.log('[INFO]', msg),
161
+ error: (msg) => console.error('[ERROR]', msg),
162
+ warn: (msg) => console.warn('[WARN]', msg),
163
+ debug: (msg) => console.log('[DEBUG]', msg),
164
+ };
165
+
166
+ const connection = createAbapConnection(config, logger);
167
+
168
+ connection.connect()
169
+ .then(() =>
170
+ connection.makeAdtRequest({
171
+ method: 'GET',
172
+ url: '/sap/bc/adt/discovery',
173
+ }),
174
+ )
175
+ .then(() => console.log('✓ Connection successful'))
176
+ .catch((err) => console.error('✗ Connection failed:', err.message));
177
+ ```
178
+
179
+ Run:
180
+
181
+ ```bash
182
+ node test-connection.js
183
+ ```
184
+
185
+ ## TypeScript Setup

+
187
+ ### Install TypeScript
188
+
189
+ ```bash
190
+ npm install --save-dev typescript @types/node
191
+ ```
192
+
193
+ ### Create `tsconfig.json`
194
+
195
+ ```json
196
+ {
197
+ "compilerOptions": {
198

242
+
243
+ ```bash
244
+ # Clear cache
245
+ npm cache clean --force
246
+
247
+ # Reinstall
248
+ rm -rf node_modules package-lock.json
249
+ npm install
250
+ ```
251
+
252
+ ### TypeScript errors
253

+ # JWT Auth Tools
2
+
3
+ This package ships with a helper CLI (`sap-abap-auth`) to obtain JWT and refresh tokens for SAP BTP ABAP systems.
4
+
5
+
6
+ ## Prerequisites
7
+
8
+ - Node.js >= 18
9
+ - Service key JSON for your SAP BTP ABAP instance (from SAP BTP Cockpit)
10
+ - Browser access (for OAuth flow)
11
+
12
+
13
+ ## Quick Start
14
+
15
+ ```bash
16
+ npx sap-abap-auth auth -k path/to/service-key.json
17
+ ```
18
+
19
+ This launches the OAuth browser flow and prints a `.env` file containing `SAP_JWT_TOKEN`, `SAP_REFRESH_TOKEN`, `SAP_UAA_URL`, etc.
20
+
21
+
22
+ ## Installation Options
23
+
24
+ ### Local (Project) Install
25
+
26
+ If `@mcp-abap-adt/connection` is part of your `dependencies` or `devDependencies`, you already have the CLI available:
27
+
28
+ ```bash
29
+ npm install @mcp-abap-adt/connection --save-dev
30
+ npx sap-abap-auth auth -k service-key.json
31
+ ```
32
+
33
+ Pros:
34
+ - CLI travels with your project.
35
+ - No need for global npm installs.
36
+
37
+ ### Global Install
38
+
39
+ ```bash
40
+ npm install -g @mcp-abap-adt/connection
41
+ sap-abap-auth auth -k service-key.json
42
+ ```
43
+
44
+ Pros:
45
+ - Available system-wide.
46
+ - Useful if you run the tool frequently from the terminal.
47
+
48
+ ### On-Demand (One-off) Usage
49
+
50
+ ```bash
51
+ npx @mcp-abap-adt/connection sap-abap-auth auth -k service-key.json
52
+ ```
53
+
54
+ Pros:
55
+ - No install needed.
56
+ - Perfect for quick usage on CI or temporary machines.
57
+
58
+ ## CLI Usage
59
+
60
+ ```bash
61
+ # Show help
62
+ sap-abap-auth --help
63
+
64
+ # Authenticate using service key JSON
65
+ sap-abap-auth auth -k service-key.json
66
+
67
+ # Use specific browser (chrome, firefox, edge, system, none)
68
+ sap-abap-auth auth -k service-key.json --browser chrome
69
+
70
+ # Output to custom file (default: .env)
71
+ sap-abap-auth auth -k service-key.json --output .env.production
72
+
73
+ # Print tokens to stdout (no file)
74
+ sap-abap-auth auth -k service-key.json --browser none --output -
75
+ ```
76
+
77
+ ### Full Command Reference
78
+
79
+ | Option | Description |
80
+ |-------------------------|------------------------------------------------------|
81
+ | `-k, --key <path>` | Path to service key JSON (required) |
82
+ | `-b, --browser <name>` | Browser to open (chrome, edge, firefox, system, none)|
83
+ | `-o, --output <path>` | Output `.env` path (`-` for stdout, defaults to `.env`) |
84
+ | `--config <path>` | Use config file with saved credentials |
85
+ | `--no-open` | Same as `--browser none` |
86
+ | `--help` | Show help |
87
+
88
+
89
+ ## Using Generated Tokens
90
+
91
+ After running the CLI, you get `.env` similar to:
92
+
93
+ ```
94
+ # Token Expiry Information (auto-generated)
95
+ # JWT Token expires: Monday, December 25, 2025 at 10:30:45 AM UTC
96
+ # JWT Token expires at: 2025-12-25T10:30:45.000Z
97
+ # Refresh Token expires: Tuesday, January 25, 2026 at 10:30:45 AM UTC
98
+ # Refresh Token expires at: 2026-01-25T10:30:45.000Z
99
+
100
+ SAP_URL=https://<your-abap-instance>.abap.whatever.sap
101
+ SAP_AUTH_TYPE=jwt
102
+ SAP_JWT_TOKEN=eyJhbGciOi...
103
+ SAP_REFRESH_TOKEN=eyJraWQiOi...
104
+ SAP_UAA_URL=https://<your>-authentication.<region>.hana.ondemand.com/oauth/token
105
+ SAP_UAA_CLIENT_ID=sb-<id>
106
+ SAP_UAA_CLIENT_SECRET=<secret>
107
+ ```
108
+
109
+ **Note:** The token expiry information at the top of the `.env` file is automatically generated by decoding the JWT tokens. This helps you:
110
+ - Know when tokens will expire
111
+ - Plan token refresh in advance
112
+ - Troubleshoot authentication issues related to expired tokens
113
+
114
+ If a token's expiry cannot be determined (e.g., non-standard JWT format), a comment will indicate this.
115
+
116
+ Load it in your project:
117
+
118
+ ```bash
119
+ source .env
120
+
121
+ ```
122
+
123
+ Or configure `SapConfig` directly:
124
+
125
+ ```ts
126
+ import { createAbapConnection } from "@mcp-abap-adt/connection";
127
+
128
+ const connection = createAbapConnection({
129
+ url: process.env.SAP_URL!,
130
+ authType: "jwt",
131
+ jwtToken: process.env.SAP_JWT_TOKEN!,
132
+ });
133
+
134
+ // Note: Token refresh is handled by @mcp-abap-adt/auth-broker package
135
+ // The refresh token credentials in .env are used by auth-broker, not connection
136
+ ```
137
+
138
+
139
+ ## Automating in CI
140
+
141
+ You can run the CLI once locally, store `.env` in secure storage, then load those variables in CI/CD to feed `@mcp-abap-adt/connection`. بهدف

+ meant a caller could never tell whether it had a session, whose it was, or
22
+ whether the one it locked in was still there. That is what let the connector
23
+ replace the session under a caller holding a lock without saying anything.
24
+
25
+ ### 2. `connect()` rejects on failure
26
+
27
+ It used to log a warning and resolve anyway, deferring the work to the first
28
+ request. Now a resolved promise means a usable session exists.
29
+
30
+ ```typescript
31
+ try {
32
+ await connection.connect();
33
+ } catch (error) {
34
+ // Handle it here, at startup, where it is cheap.
35
+ }
36
+ ```
37
+
38
+ If you never checked the result of `connect()`, you were relying on that
39
+ deferral. The failure has not appeared — it has moved to where you can see it.
40
+
41
+ **Kerberos**: `connect()` now surfaces a limitation that used to be hidden. If
42
+ the server continues the SPNEGO exchange (a 401 carrying a `Negotiate` token),
43
+ this client cannot continue it — the GSS context is not retained — and
44
+ `connect()` fails saying so. Previously the same situation resolved and failed
45
+ later, on the first request, as an unrelated-looking 401.
46
+
47
+ ### 3. Requests are refused after a teardown
48
+
49
+ `disconnect()` and `reset()` stop the connection from serving requests until the
50
+ next `connect()`. An in-flight request is not cut off and not waited for either:
51
+ it runs to completion, and its result is fenced so it cannot touch a session
52
+ established since.
53
+
54
+ ### 4. If you hold locks, do not let a timeout cut the span
55
+
56
+ The connection does **not** track your locks. It does not know one exists, what
57
+ object it covers, or what would release it — pairing every LOCK with its UNLOCK
58
+ belongs to `@mcp-abap-adt/adt-clients`, which holds the handles.
59
+
60
+ What this layer can do is not let a short timeout abort a request mid-span, which
61
+ would leave an operation whose outcome you cannot determine — a `LOCK` that may
62
+ have succeeded server-side, with a handle you never received:
63
+
64
+ ```typescript
65
+ connection.beginCriticalSection();
66
+ try {
67
+ const handle = await lock(connection, 'ZCL_MY_CLASS');
68
+ await update(connection, 'ZCL_MY_CLASS', handle);
69
+ await unlock(connection, 'ZCL_MY_CLASS', handle);
70
+ } finally {
71
+ connection.endCriticalSection();
72
+ }
73
+ ```
74
+
75
+ This is not new in 2.x — it has been available since 1.9.0 and is unchanged.
76
+
77
+ ### 5. A new error you should handle
78
+
79
+ `ADT_SESSION_REPLACED` means the SAP session is gone. It is raised whenever the
80
+ session identity changes under us, and whenever the server itself says the session
81
+ no longer exists. **Your lock handle is dead**: unlocking with it will not work, and the
82
+ object may still be locked on the server. The connector does not retry such
83
+ a request — retrying blindly is what produced further orphaned locks in the
84
+ field.
85
+
86
+ ```typescript
87
+ // (connection already established)
88
+ try {
89
+ await connection.makeAdtRequest(...);
90
+ } catch (error) {
91
+ if (error.code === 'ADT_SESSION_REPLACED') {
92
+ // Reconnect, then deal with the lock you can no longer release.
93
+ }
94
+ }
95
+ ```
96
+
97
+ ## What did NOT change
98
+
99
+ - `makeAdtRequest()` keeps its signature and its behaviour on a healthy session.
100
+ - `IAbapConnection` is unchanged: `connect()` was already on it. The rest of the
101
+ lifecycle API lives on the HTTP connection classes for now, so code holding
102
+ the interface type sees no new members and needs no change.
103
+ - Automatic recovery still happens: a CSRF token refresh, a 401 retry, a JWT
104
+ refresh. What changed is that a recovery which **replaces the session** while
105
+ you hold a lock now fails loudly instead of continuing on the new one.
106
+ - RFC connections already required an open client, so nothing there changes for
107
+ callers.
108
+
109
+ ## What to check on your side
110
+
111
+ - every place a connection is created — does `connect()` follow it?
112
+ - every place `connect()` is called — is its rejection handled?
113
+ - error handling around lock/unlock flows — is `ADT_SESSION_REPLACED` handled,
114
+ or does it fall into a generic catch that retries?

+ # Scope and Boundaries
2
+
3
+ This package is **one component of the `@mcp-abap-adt/*` family**. Each package owns one concern; together they form an SAP ABAP tooling stack. Keeping the boundaries clear is important — several features that look natural to add here actually belong in sibling packages, and some that look missing (like RFC-to-cloud) do not exist anywhere in the ecosystem because the underlying technology does not support them.
4
+
5
+ ## What this package does
6
+
7
+ - **HTTP transport to SAP ADT** — request dispatch, CSRF token fetch, cookie and session handling, stateful/stateless session control.
8
+ - **The session lifecycle** — establishing a session and refusing to work without one, tearing it down without cutting in-flight requests, tracking which SAP session it is talking to, and telling the caller when that session is lost while a lock is held. See [USAGE.md — Session Lifecycle](./USAGE.md#session-lifecycle).
9
+ - **RFC transport to on-premise SAP** — via `@mcp-abap-adt/sap-rfc-lite` + NW RFC SDK, calling `SADT_REST_RFC_ENDPOINT` (the same FM Eclipse ADT uses on on-prem).
10
+ - **Applying credentials** handed to it by the caller (Basic user/password, Bearer JWT, SAML session cookies).
11
+
12
+ ## What this package does NOT do, and where it lives instead
13
+
14
+ | Concern | Belongs in |
15
+ |---|---|
16
+ | Token acquisition (SAML/OAuth2 flows, browser login, PKCE) | `@mcp-abap-adt/auth-broker` |
17
+ | Token validation, refresh, re-authentication, expiry tracking | consumer via `ITokenProvider` (from `@mcp-abap-adt/interfaces`) |
18
+ | Session state persistence across processes | `@mcp-abap-adt/auth-broker` |
19
+ | Auth-type constants, provider error codes, auth lifecycle contracts | `@mcp-abap-adt/interfaces` |
20
+
21
+ The rule: **if it is about *acquiring* or *refreshing* credentials, it is not our job.** We receive credentials that are valid at call time and use them. The consumer is responsible for handing us fresh ones — they know their IdP, their refresh cadence, their re-auth UX.
22
+
23
+ ## Why there is no RFC to SAP BTP / cloud
24
+
25
+ Short answer: because SAP does not support it that way, and Eclipse ADT does not do it that way either.
26
+
27
+ **1. Eclipse ADT talks to cloud over HTTP, not RFC.**
28
+ The `com.sap.adt.communication.http.*` package is the only transport Eclipse ADT uses for ADT itself. Cloud login in Eclipse goes through `SamlWithReentranceTicketLogonFacade` → `IcfEndpointBasedSystemUrlInfoProvider` → `HttpLowLevelConnection.sendRequest`. This is an HTTP flow via the ABAP ICF (Internet Communication Framework) endpoint, with a browser SAML login minting a short-lived reentrance ticket, which is then exchanged for a `MYSAPSSO2` session cookie over HTTP. There is no RFC anywhere in this path. JCo/RFC calls that appear in Eclipse logs come from unrelated features (GUI integration, JCo destination tests) — not ADT.
29
+
30
+ **2. NW RFC SDK has no JWT or SAML-2.0-XML logon parameter.**
31
+ Inspection of `sapnwrfc.h` and the SDK's reference `sapnwrfc.ini` confirms the supported client logon parameters are: `USER`/`PASSWD`, `X509CERT`, `MYSAPSSO2` (accepts SSO2 tickets and SAP-internal "assertion tickets", *not* SAML 2.0 XML assertions), plus SNC (`SNC_QOP`, `SNC_MYNAME`, `SNC_PARTNERNAME`, `SNC_LIB`) for Kerberos/x509 over RFC. For WebSocket-RFC: `WSHOST`/`WSPORT`, `ALIAS_USER`, `TLS_CLIENT_PSE`, `TLS_CLIENT_CERTIFICATE_LOGON`. No `JWT`, no `BEARER`, no `SAML_ASSERTION`, no `OAUTH` keys exist in the SDK headers.
32
+
33
+ **3. `@mcp-abap-adt/sap-rfc-lite` is a pure passthrough.**
34
+ It forwards every `(name, value)` pair from the JS `Client(params)` object to `RFC_CONNECTION_PARAMETER[]` without filtering. So the wrapper is not a constraint — the constraint is the SDK itself.
35
+
36
+ **4. For BTP on-prem scenarios (Cloud Connector), the JWT→x509/SNC swap happens server-side in the CC.** The client-side RFC call still carries classic credentials (x509 + SNC), not the JWT. Supporting that would be adding SNC-over-RFC for on-prem backends behind a CC tunnel — an on-prem extension, not a "cloud RFC" feature.
37
+
38
+ **Conclusion:** "RFC to cloud" is not a missing feature that would be useful to add; it is a category error. ADT to cloud = HTTP (already supported here). RFC to on-prem = supported here via `connectionType: 'rfc'`. Anything claiming a third combination does not map to what the SAP stack actually exposes.
