invoking external sapftp from SAP - RFC partner not allow to start program

[Former Member]

Hi

We use an external sapftp on a weblogic server to transfert documents (purchase orders attachments) from the web frontend to our SAP Content Server connected to our ERP.

The call sequence on the ERP backend is :

YMM_GED_BAPI_CREATE

...

CV120_FTP_START_REG_SERVER

...

CALL FUNCTION 'SYSTEM_START_REG_SERVER'

EXPORTING: progname = 'sapftp'

startmode = '' " X

exclusiv = 'Y'

waittime = 500

startcomp = 'C' " G=gui, C=RFC

startpara = ' '

IMPORTING: err_code = lf_errno

err_mess = lf_error_msg

destination = pfx_destination.

The program worked fine until we introduce Linux appservers to our ERP which is AIX-based.

The SYSTEM_START_REG_SERVER executed on the Linux appserver returns the error message :

"RFC partner does not allow to start the required program"

I must admit we do not know how this thing works anymore. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you

Are you getting any errors in the gateway log (SMGW)? Was there a previous program that was already registered with the gateway (you might need to re-register it)?

Just some ideas.

Thanks!
