QCI Call Funtion Fails on One SAPServer Instance

[Former Member]

We have two instances of Proudction Server in our organizaiton one is CICEP and other is CEERAPPAL.

Both have different Applicaiton Server address.

Both instances have the astm file maintained in the AL11 directory for DIR_BINARY --> /sapmnt/CEP/exe/ with filename astm_001

When user logs in with CEERAPPL he connects to this call function and gets the QCI data; but when he logs in with CICEP; he is not able to call QCI and system gives an error message as :

Quantity Conversion Interface: No response from external programs

It is working fine on one instance but on other is fails.

Please help.

Dear Praveen,

this is a common issue which many customers have.

Primarily you and your management should know that the usage of CALL SYSTEM is not released and therefore not supported by SAP for productive systems (Note 23697) and creates a considerable security loop-hole.

Take a look at our solution BCP under www.quantityware.com - this issue would not occur if you were using our solution. We also offer full support - so you won't have to rely on blogs for productive support.

If you want further infromation, feel free to contact us via info@quantityware.com

Best rgards,
