View Layout display problem

[Former Member]

Hi Experts,

I am working in IDES ECC 6.0 on my home PC. I am unable to see the layout in the view.

The URL in my WDT_QUIZ is like :

http://eccserver6.domain.com:8000/sap/bc/webdynpro/sap/zxy_web1

and in the host file in my PC c:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\hosts

i gave 10:230:89:290 http://eccserver6.domain.com eccserver6.domain.com

but its not working.

Can someone please help me out with this.

Thanks

Dany

Make sure that the services required are activated in transaction SICF.

See this help for more info.

I think it might not be the SICF service because if the service isnt activated...he will get a dump straightway..

403....Forbidden.

Hi,

There is no problem with SICF services,

But i can see that i need to input the domain name..etc in the host file.

Can some one help me with this?

Thanks

Dan, is your problem that you can not see the view designer within SE80? Or is your problem something else?

Rich,

I cannot see the content in the Layout tab (content in browser) of Main view in SE80.

It says that page cannot be found.

Please suggest.

Thanks

Right, so then you need to check that the services in SICF are activated. I don't think you need to put anything in the hosts file in your PC. You need to do the config which is described in the link that I provided above and the SAP notes that it mentions.

I had this same problem with my newly created sandbox system, and after I did the correct config, all is well.

Ok Rich, i will go through the link you had given & let you know ( which takes some time) .

As there are many links in the config... could you please tell me which one(s) exactly should i have a look at?

Thanks

You are going to want to focus on note 517484, specifically under the web dynpro abap section, make sure that all services related to WDA are activated in transaction SICF.

Also make sure that your instance profile in RZ10 has the following parameters, you may need to get with you basis folks for this.

[code]icm/server_port_0 PROT=HTTP,PORT=80$$

icm/host_name_full <your fully qualified host name> [/code]

Hi Rich,

Thanks for your efforts but i see the all config settings in SICF are active already and are also according to notes 517484

Any more suggestions?? I think i am missing something in the host file.

Thanks

Hi,

are you yourself in the same network?

or are you connecting through internet to your server?

strangely enough i had something like you,

server in the hosting company, i could connect to sapgui on the server,

but the application server was not reachable

since i have vpn connection to the server, i'm able to view everything

maybe a suggestion

grtz,

hi,

then you need to try to get a vpn connection to the server in order to get it going

at least that was the solution in my case

grtz,

Hi Dan,

let's start at the beginning: Can you ping the server? Start a command window and enter "ping eccserver6.domain.com". If you don't get a response, it's an error in the etc\hosts, if you get a response, it's a problem inside SAP (services, ports or config).

Hi Kasten,

No I am not getting any response.

Please tell me what should i add in the host file?

Thanks

Are you sure about the IP address 10.230.89.290? Try to ping the address with

     ping 10.230.89.290

I you don't get a positive answer, the IP address is wrong.

If the ping works fine, you have to enter one line into file C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\hosts of your PC:

     10.230.89.290      eccserver6.domain.com

I saw that you used colons between the numbers of the IP address, but you have to use dots.

As soon as the line is added to the file, your computer translates the server name eccserver6.domain.com into the IP address 10.230.89.290.

Hope that helps,

Karsten

Hi Karsten Heth,

Actually 10.230.89.290 is not the IP of eccserver6.domain.com.

The semicolons in between are just typo errors

I had tried in all ways. At coomand prompt i gave :

ping www.eccserver6.domain.com & also

ping http://eccserver6.domain.com

It says that it could not fidn the host please check the name & try again.

Any more suggestions please?

thanks

Dany

Again the question: Is this IDES ECC 6.0 running on <b>your</b> home PC, or is it running on <b>another</b> server? In both cases you have to find out the correct IP address and write it into the host file.

And don't put any additions like www or http:// in front of the server name. The command to check the connection is

    ping eccserver6.domain.com

and nothing else.

So here is what you have to do:

1. Get the correct IP address

2. Try to ping the IP address with "ping xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx"

3. If it works, enter the line "xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx eccserver6.domain.com" into your host file

4. Try to ping the host nome with "ping eccserver6.domain.com" which should work now

And of course xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is a placeholder for the correct IP address.

Have you embeded the View inside your window ?

Also, which inboung plug your calling from the WD application. Make sure it is Default plug.

[Former Member]
