How to create a new connection from SAPGUI to Test drive?

[Former Member]

Hi,

I have installed Sap Netweaver Test drive on a linux virtual machine (windows host). The installation was successful and I was able to start the instance (application server and the database), yet I don't know how to create a new connection from my SAPGUI client (7.20) to this server. The static IP address of the server is 192.168.1.160.

I entered the following values for my new connection entry

Description: SAP Netweaver
Application server: 192.168.1.160
Instance number: 01
System ID: DB2
SAProuter: /H/192.168.1.160/S/3201/H/

But it does not work. Any idea about the values needed for creating a new entry?

Thanks in advance,

Dariyoosh

Why are you entering a router string? Can't you reach a box directly from your machine?

Doesn't a ping to that host & a "telnet <host/ip address> 3201" work from your machine to the SAP System.

Remove the router string you wont need if the above works.

Hello there,

Thank you very much for your answer which solved my problem. In fact there was no need of providing router string.

Kind Regards,
