The reason for this behavior is that the SAP Java Connector has not been copied into the bin folder of the Agent.
The SAP Java Connector is in charge of providing all RFC API calls to the SAP agent which is also a Java application.
The SAP Java Connector Version 3. can be download from the SAP support portal.
