Do not use Apache Portable Runtime (APR) on the system on which you use the Cloud Connector. If you cannot avoid this
restriction and want to use APR at your own risk, you must manually adopt the [Link] con guration le in directory
<scc_installation_folder>/conf. To do so, follow the steps in HTTPS port con guration for APR.

JDKs

JDK Version Cloud Connector Version

SAP JVM 64-bit (recommended) 7 2.x up to 2.12.2

8 2.7.2 and higher

Oracle JDK 64-bit 7 2.x up to 2.12.2

8 2.7.2 and higher

 Note
The support for using Cloud Connector with Java runtime version 7 ended on December 31, 2019. Any Cloud Connector version
released after that date may contain Java byte code requiring at least a JVM 8.

We therefore strongly recommend that you perform fresh installations only with Java 8, and update existing installations running
with Java 7, to Java 8.

See SAP Cloud Connector – Java 7 support will phase out and Update the Java VM.

 Note
If you install the Cloud Connector in a network segment that is isolated from the backend systems, make sure the exposed hosts
and ports are still reachable and open them in the rewall that protects them:

for HTTP, the ports you chose for the HTTP/S server.

for LDAP, the port of the LDAP server.

for RFC, it depends on whether you use an SAProuter or not and whether load balancing is used:

if you use an SAProuter, it is typically con gured as visible in the network of the Cloud Connector and the
corresponding routtab is exposing all the systems that should be used.

without SAProuter, you must open the application server hosts and the corresponding gateway ports (33##,
48##). When using load balancing for the connection, you must also open the message server host and port.

See also Network Zones.

For more information about the used ABAP server ports, see: Ports of SAP NetWeaver Application Server ABAP.
