Need URGENT help about SLD registration...

[Former Member]

Dear all,

I am currently trying to register my BW 3.5 instance into my System Landcsape Directory server but got problems during the definition of the RFC destination in the ABAP stack.

Hereunder a short description of the systems

BW 3.5 Server

=============

Operating System : AIX 5.2

RDBMS : Oracle 9.2.0.7

Hostname : sapdbw

SAP System ID : NWD

SAP System Number : 50

SAP Client Number : 050

=> WEB-AS ABAP 6.40 Stack 15

SLD Server

==========

Operating System : AIX 5.2

RDBMS : Oracle 9.2.0.7

Hostname : sldserv

SAP System ID : NWD

SAP System Number : 05

=> WEB-AS JAVA 6.40 Stack 15

So, as explained in the SAP documentation, I first started the Visual Administrator and register my "NWD" J2EE engine as an RFC Server.

Program ID : SAPSLDAPI_DBW

Gateway Host : sldserv

Gateway Service : sapgw05

Number Processes : 3

Application Server Host : sapdbw

System Number : 50

Client : 050

Language : EN

User : RFC_NWD_DBW

Password : xxxxxxxx

Unicode : <not set>

I could start this RFC destination in the 'Visual Administrator', so I decided to go on with the ABAP part...

In transaction SM59, I created a new RFC destination as follows :

RFC Destination : SAPSLDAPI_DBW

Connection Type : T (TCP/IP)

Description : RFC Destination for SLD Registration

Activation Type : Registered Server Program

Program ID : SAPSLDAPI_DBW

Gateway Host : sldserv

Gateway Service : sapgw05

But when I try to test it, I get the following error message :

>Connection type : TCP/IP connection

>Connection error : Error opening an RFC connection.

>

>ERROR : SAP gateway connection failed.

> Is SAP gateway started?

>LOCATION : SAP-Server sapdbw_DBW_50 on host sapdbw

>COMPONENT : CPIC

>COUNTER : 17

>MODULE :

>LINE :

>RC : 236

>SUBRC : 0

>RELEASE : 640

>TIME : Tue Mar 7 19:36:29 2006

>VERSION :

Now, my questions...

Should I be able to use my J2EE engine (NWD) for the gateway host/service definition or do I need a classic ABAP system to play this role?

What about the gateway port I should be using then if J2EE is also possible?

Do I need to install any other JCO libraries/programs to get this running?

Best regards and many many help for your help, that's greatly appreciated!

Hi Xavier,

I assume your problem is that you have pointed the Gateway Host to point to the Java server: sldserv (wrong)

You need to assign it to the ABAP one: sapdbw

as in the: Application Server Host

In both of the places; Visual Admin (Java) and SM59 (ABAP)

To my knowledge you cannot use Java as gateway you should use the ABAP one.

You don't need to install any other JCO libs!

Just be sure that the Gateway Host is the ABAP system.

Thanks Angel for your response!

I am going to use an ABAP system for this...
