Help with esworkplace.sap.com

[ajeyagv]

Hi, I'm new to SAP and I'm trying to practice scenarios in SAP PI. I created an account in esworkplace.sap.com for that and an account got created.

After that, I logged into the account that was provided to me and I came across integration engine web gui page where I typed the transaction SXMB_IFR to practice ESR and ID. But everytime I try to login, I get this error message-

"Unable to connect to server P4://pi.esworkplace.sap.com:50004. Check server availability"

And when I click on details, this is what I get-

"

Cannot establish connection with any of the available

profiles:

url=P4://pi.esworkplace.sap.com:50004

protocol=p4 (None); Reason: com.sap.engine.services.rmi_p4.P4IOException:

Cannot open connection to host: 155.56.56.170 and port:

50004

Check if server is started, access point for

the protocol is available, and IP/Host name is accessible

on network."

Kindly help me  with this issue. I have been trying to practice SAP PI for more than a month and yet I have gone nowhere because of this.

Thanks in advance.

P.S. if I'm asked this question in wrong section, then please forgive me.

Hi ,

Did you added host name and IP address of the server that want to access in drivers/etc/hosts file ?

If no could you please add that first and try hitting the tcode SXMB_ADM/ http://hostname:5nr00/dir/start/index.jsp

Please tell me where I should give these details. When I come across login page there is no such option to give hostname and IP address.

Hi Ajeya,

There are two ways you will access generally.

1)By using CITRIX or any s/w and accessing via secured connection no need to add above details in your local system.

2)In general for accessing PI  server/ java stack you need to add above details in your local system  .

(start-->run-->drivers/etc/hosts file)

Regards

I did as you said. But it still gives error-

"

Cannot establish connection with any of the available

profiles:

url=P4://pi.esworkplace.sap.com:50004

protocol=p4 (None); Reason: com.sap.engine.services.rmi_p4.P4IOException:

Cannot open connection to host: 155.56.56.170 and port:

50004

Check if server is started, access point for

the protocol is available, and IP/Host name is accessible

on network."

What shall I do now?

oh did u give the ip address as an example ?

I have taken IP and Hostname from your error.

1)Check with the respective sap folks who are administering the server .

2)Check whether  you are authorized to use that or not ?

3)Check whether do you need to download any certificates for that etc ..by sending the screen shot of the error you faced .They will guide you ?
