port closed due to firewall error

[Former Member]

Hello Sap Gurus,

I started implementing ESS configuration for HR system.

I encountered an issue at the time of system object creation:

I have created 3 system objects :

1.SAP_R3

2.SAP_ITS_XSS

3.SAP_Webdynpro_XSS

while performing connection tests,i encountered the following error in its-connection:

An HTTp connection to 199.103.20.153:8000/sap/bc/gui/sap/its/webgui was not obtained successfully;this might be due to a closed port on the firewall.

I tried to activate its through SICF transaction.but i was not able to do.The page cannot be displayed error is seen.even i entered the log on credentials through logon tab.

for this to work,how to open the HTTP port?

thanks in advanse.

Regards,

roja

Hello Roja,

Did you get the logon page?

You should look at the Workprocess Developer trace to see if there is anything there. If not, have you configured the ICM? I see you're using the ipaddress of the server, so you probably have not.

To activate the ICM and ITS you need:

1. Configure icm/server_port_0 (ie: PROT=HTTP,PORT=80)

2. Configure icm/host_name_full (ie: server.full.com)

3. Publish the ICM,WEBGUI, and SYSTEM Internet Services from SE80

4. In SICF activate sap/public/bc/its/mimes and sap/bc/gui/sap/its/webgui

If you still have issues you should see note 698329.

Hello,

the TA SIFC (SapInternetConnectionFramework) si only used to activate the Service.

If the http port is blocked by your firewall you need to ask you Network Team to open it for you.
