With “Parameter” you can select what to configure.

The ext_sys_guid defines the name of the configuration profile on SAP-side.
Choose “ext_sys_guid” for Parameter and enter as Value the name of your SAP-side configuration profile.
This will address the given configuration profile and is the default value for all tickets, unless redefined in specific payload definition (see section 3.3.2)
3.2. Configuration URLs
“host endpoint” and “jump url” are required to enable the communication to the SAP system and creation of a jump-link to the connected ticket.

Your url may look something like https:// <instance name>.sap.<firm name>.com:<port>.
Please use https:// to ensure security.

Select jump url for Parameter and enter the url of your SAP instance in Value.
Your url may look something like https:// <instance name>.sap.<firm name>.com:<port> (most likely will the port differ from the url in “host endpoint”).
