same setting works for Webdynpro-Java becuse there host name is maintained.

Thats why i had queried that is there a setting which needs to be done for ABAP.

Please guide me further.

Hi Tanya,

After writing the ip address give one tab space exactly and write your host address,ask your BASIS people about host name they only will give correct name.

Hi,

I have made entry in Microsoft Window's drivers>etc> host, but still following error message is coming "The IP address for the website you requested could not be found."

Technical Information (for support personnel)

Error Code 11001: Host not found

Background: This error indicates that the gateway could not find the IP address of the website you are trying to access. This is usually due to a DNS-related error.

Date: 10/10/2008 12:07:26 PM

Server: SURFCONTROL.odc.infotech.com

Source: DNS error

I think that i also need to make configuration settings in SAP.

Please guide me further.

Tanaya

Hi tanaya,

Go to RUN from start of your windows system.

In RUN window type drivers and click OK then you find etc.

Hi Tanya,

That means you are not maintained Fully qualified domain in your drivers.

go to drivers->etc->host in that maintain your server ip address and domain name.Also check these documents.

Although this may solve the problem for you, it is really just a band-aid. You are tell your machine how to access the server, but no one else on your network will be able to access it.

You need to talk to your system administrators and network administrators and make sure that the full host name for your web application server is registered in your corporate DNS.
