Which ports for communication needed

[Former Member]

Hi,

did anyone know which ports have to be opended, so that the SCL can communicate with the backend systems?

Is it only the 8000 / 8001 Port?

Thanks

Hi Pit,

that depends on the scenarios and the way how these scenarios communicate with the backend system (e.g. either via WebServices or via RFC calls).

In case of Web Services you have to open the HTTP / HTTP(s) port on the backend system (go to SMICM to check which ports are in use). You might also have to open the ports on the SCL system (again check SMICM which ports are used).

For RFC you have to open the TCP ports that are used by the DIAG protocal (usually that is 33<SysNr>; check also [this|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/4e515a43-0e01-0010-2da1-9bcc452c280b] document on SDN)

So for example for Reporting you would have to open the RFC ports on the backend and the web service ports on SCL (since data is sent from SCL to backend via RFC and then the backend sends the data back to SCL via Web services)
