Http Service not working

[steven_chen2]

Hi guys,

I am working on a BW system. trying to enable web functionality for it by following this doc bwlow, http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/994a06ed-0c01-0010-878b-e796a9060...

Then in SCIF, I tested the service sap/bw/BEx. A web page popped up with the link "http://uxai2bh2.wdf.sap.corp:50045/sap/bw/bex?sap-client=000". It says "Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage".

what else can I do to check it? Thanks.

Regards,

Hi,

Please check in tcode SMICM, Goto -> Services, if the HTTP service is activated on port 50045.

If this is set then check if the hostname uxai2bh2.wdf.sap.corp is 'ping-able' from your local host.

If this also works, check your browser's proxy setting. Try enabling/disabling the proxy. As I can see from hostname, it points to an internal SAP server, so proxy might be the issue.

Thanks Srikishan for the reply.

yes, the HTTP service is activated on port 50045.

the host name is ping-able from my local host.

proxy setting is not an issue here since I am inside SAP internal network. I can access the other similar servers.

Any other ideas?

thanks.

Hello

Did you try link

http://uxai2bh2.wdf.sap.corp:50045/sap/bw/bex

instead of

http://uxai2bh2.wdf.sap.corp:50045/sap/bw/bex?sap-client=000

sap-client=000 ?

Hi,

Ideally, if the http request is reaching the SAP system, as soon as you test the service, a username/password login po-up should appear. As it does not, I suspect a network related issue. Some options:

- Is the SAP system host a windows server? If so, you could try opening the BEX link directly on the server.

- Are you opening the Link for from your laptop/desktop? Perhaps you can try the link from any other Windows server in the same domain as the SAP BW system host.

- Install httpwatch or any other network monitoring tool and check the proceedings when you call the link.
