BI to Web connectivity: Query designer's query cannot display in IE

[Former Member]

Hi all,

I have configured web connectivity and from SMICM if I type the URL in IE it prompts for user/password and connects to BI, however, from query designer if a query is published on web the URL will point towards standard sap.com at port 50100 and IE will display a broken link message.

After a bit of research I discovered that httpplugin.dll is missing from /usr/sap/sys/exe and there is no folder under /exe where the httpplugin.dll is expected to be.

Any suggestion, please.

Thanks.

This issue is resolved.

The solution is that certain browsers are not compatible with EP. Check SAP notes on browser compatibility, in general IE 6 and 7 work fine. Further, BI and Portal connectivity requires certain SP levels. SAP suggests if JAVA SP is X then ABAP SP should be X+2. After setting up SPs using CTC wizard from Portal NW the connectivity was settled.
