Iview - ABAP Server not in Internet

[Former Member]

We have the following scenario, we are setting up 4 Web-ABAP Reports with custom Iview that will be accessed through the Portal that is available through the internet/DMZ

The back-end ABAP Application Server is not in the DMZ and is not accessible through the internet.

This is causing us an issue when setting up the iviews because they are set as URL Links I believe executing the link created from the Web-ABAP Development. Since the ABAP Server is not in the internet it is timing out and causing a Page Cannot Be Displayed Error.

Is there any way to create an iview to point to the back-end if the back-end is not available through the internet.

No. Even when you use the portal, the ABAP content is not deployed to the portal. It still runs directly off the backend ABAP system. The iView only reserves a spot on the screen and embeds the content from the ABAP AS via URL. If you want to do what you describe, then you must also expose your ABAP system to the internet (not entirely uncommon with the proper security provisions).
