Synchronization problems

[Former Member]

Hi All ,

I want to know what are all possibilities because of which connection to middleware server will not be established and error message will come on MI client saying "connection to sever failed ".

Thank You ,

Hi Rucha,

<<"connection to sever failed ".>>

1)When we install the fresh client and give the <b>settings wrong</b> and synchronize to get the device ID we get that error and we would get the deviceID.

2) When the server is down.

3) Given wrong sync password

Thanks & Regards,

Hi Rucha Atre,

If the Server is up and there is no connectivity problems, then check your Gateway settings like Gateway host, port, service etc. whether they are properly configured.

Hi Rucha,

The connection to server can fail for various reasons. some being

- the user may not exist on the middleware

- the sync password given on the client may be wrong

- the password may have expired

- the http connection may not be existing

- if your using ABAP Sync Service, then probably the services like MI HOST may not be activated.

These are usually the problems that may occur.

Thank you all for instant replies .

If connection is set up and application on mobile client is working ( settings are correct ) , are there any reasons other than mentioned above ?

Hi Nameeta ,

If password has been expired what the user needs to do ?

(change of password on Middleware server / backend ? and corresponding change on client ?)

Thank You,

Hi Rucha,

If the password expires, we can change it from Middleware/Backend and also at J2EE stack level(NWA).

Once it is done we can mention the changed password to the Client and sync it.

Hi Rucha,

It may be case that the property file has not been configured in the server.

First do the following:

To test if synchronization is working without having to install the client (SAP MI Client

Component), call the following URL in your browser:

http://<Server>:<Port>/meSync/servlet/meSync?~sysid=<System

ID>&~login=<User

name>&_{password=<Password>&}client=<Client>&~language=<Language>

&_{acknowledge=X&}test=true&

If the test was successful, the browser displays a message containing a time that, for

example, looks like:

&WAF_SYNC&STATUS=&Execution Time =103129& HeaderType =

MEREPLICATION &MORE_PACKAGES_WAITING = &

If the test fails, the system generates an error message.

In case of failure, configure the property file. Refer the Installation guide for the same (Tip: Search for '<sysid>.props' ).

Hi,

In this case you get the proper error message SID.props is missing. are you getting this error message on the client?
