Firewall issue between SAP PI and Third Party DB

[Former Member]

Hi All,

We have a simple scenario where in we are transferring data from ECC to Third Party Oracle DB using SAP PI.

However we are encountering Network error and need to open the Firewall.

What all information do we need to provide to the Firewall/Network team so that they can open the ports. Also where do we get the information as to which ports needs to be opened?

Hello Shaibayan,

There are 2 activities that you would need to complete to enable the connection:

1. Your n/w team should open up the firewall for the 3rd party servername & port.

(The servername and port are the ones that you fill in the channel configuration. This should be shared by the 3rd party technical team)

2. The 3rd party should also open their firewall for your outgoing IP address. (your n/w team should be able to share the outgoing IP address that you need to share).

Hope this information helps.

Hi,

contact third party they have to tell you IP address, port, user and password.

Then tell basis to open firewall for IP/port.

Hi Fabio,

When you say the IP and Port of the Third Party DB is it the same as the one we configure in the JDBC channel?

In our case we are trying to reach 2 DB with Different IP but same Port number.

Example:

DB1: Host -> DB1

          Port -> 1521

DB2: Host -> DB2

          Port -> 1521

So both the Host and Port make a different combination?

Thanks,

Hi,

they have to open Host 1 port 1521 and Host 2 port 1521.

Hi Shaibayan,

You have to ask basis team to open the ports for the above mentioned IP/Ports then ask them to ping the IP from your SAP Server OS level so that they would be able to check if the connectivity is established.

Then you can try to connect through SAP PI.

Thanks and Regards,

Helloa Shaibayan,

Did you try to test with the 3rd party WSDL directly using SOAP UI Tool?

Check following for similar query:

port used SOAP Receiver adapter | SCN
