Malformed URL when adding usage type BI-Java

[Former Member]

I am on a 701 system and am connecting to a remote SLD. I have performed all of the prereqs and after filling in the form, I get the following error: "Validation Error: Test SLD connection: It was not possible to test the SLD system (SLD_HOST) with the user (SLD_ADMIN) and its password given in the property sheet. Please verify and retype the values in the corresponding fields. You can also go to visual administrator -> "SID" -> Server xx -> Services -> Configuration adaptor -> CTC -> Propertysheet SystemProperties, make sure that the parameters related to SLD are correctly typed and rerun the template." I have double checked the user(s) and they are ok.

In checking the default trace, I see that the trouble seems to begin with " com.sap.sld.api.wbem.exception.CIMCommunicationException: CIM_ERR_FAILED: Malformed URL: http://http://<SLD host address>:51100/" Of course the SLD host address is correct and edited here.

I'm wondering where the extra http:// is coming from. I have checked the property sheet and a few other places in visual admin with no luck, they only have the host name and no http://. Could someone please point me in the right direction at least where to look.

Thanks,

Kyle

Use CHANGE AND DEPLOY from http://host:port/nwa-->; deploy and change to perform the BI JAVA stack installation.

While inputting the BI JAVA STACK inst--> make sure that uncheck sld check and runt the configuration.

In case of errors correct them or run the deploy and change again.

Problem solved!

Further examination of the property sheet showed that the http:// was in there. Removed it and installation continued.

Sricanth,

Thank you for your input. If you choose to skip the SLD check some automatic configuration is skipped as welll. It seems as though "SLD Check:" is a little misleading. It doesn't only check the SLD connection, it also uses that information for configuring the system. I know it can all be done manually, but to make sure that nothing is missed it is best to exhaust every option to lmake the wizard do it for you. I have found precious little documentation on what is done behind the scenes by this wizard. I have even found conflicting information. SAP support stated to me that manual config absolutely should not be done for BI-Java.

In visual admin where you have maintained SLD host name did you add only hostname or http://hostname.

Just guessing you have added http also. remove http from here in case my guess is correct.
