Hi Mahi,

Add the SAPms<SID> 36<nr> in the : c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\services in both the servers of Portal & BI system and also try to do telnet hostname port from Portal to BI server and see what the outcome of it.

Let us know the status.

Please ensure that name of JCO RFC provider in Java and the one you mentioned in BI TCP/IP RFC's Program ID is same.

yes that should solve your problem.

Make following entry in the services file of EP-

sapmsBPD     36<nn>/tcp where nn is the instance no of your BI system.

Cheers,

Hello,

This shows that the problem is related to RFC destination RFC_GSD.

There are two SAP notes that contain details on how to register a server program on the gateway;

63930   Gateway registration of RFC server program
353597 Registration of a server program

So, as per the example above the program will need to be registered:

ExecutableName -aRFCABC -gHOST -xservice

ExecutableName is the name of the .exe file. RFCABC is the name given in SM59 (ProgramId). HOST is the gateway host (abcsrv01) and GWSERV is the gateway service (sapgw00).

I hope this explanation helps in resolving the problem.

Regards,

David

Hi Mahi,

Is the JCO RFC provider GILSAPED_PORTAL_GSD created and working properly in Bi JAVA. Is it pointing to BI ABAP system ? If not ensure that is working and then do test connection.
