SAP .NET Connector Error

[Former Member]

I'm using a connection proxy and I keep getting this when connecting to our production systems. The error does not occur when using our test SAP system.

Error Number: 5 Description: Connect to message server failed Connect_PM MSHOST=10.10.108.23, R3NAME=PRD, GROUP=US Pipe Production

LOCATION CPIC (TCP/IP) on local host

ERROR service 'sapmsPRD' unknown

You need to add an entry for "sapmsPRD" into your %windir%\system32\drivers\etc\services file. Best you ask your administrator to the correct entry.

In many cases the port number is 3600+SystemNumber, but this is not guaranteed.
