Reaching a website from WAS using a proxy server

[Former Member]

We are trying to connect out to a couple of internet sites from our WAS 6.4 system to test and see if we are getting out both on the abap side and the j2ee side plain and ssl. ( we are running XI on this system )

Is there any mechanism in WAS just to do a simple connectivity test e.g.. go to an http site like mocrosoft.com or something and then go to an https site just to check and see if we are even getting out??

We are at our wits end and any help would be appreciated and rewarded.

Thanks - Andrew

Hi Andrew,

>>>Is there any mechanism in WAS just to do a simple connectivity test e.g.. go to an http site like mocrosoft.com

I'm not sure if my proposition will be ok with you

but you can try this:

- go to TCODE - <b>SM59</b>

- choose <b>Create</b>

- choose <b>connection type</b> G

- in the <b>Target host</b> give: www.microsoft.com

- save your RFC dest

- and you can test it

you should get html code of this page once the test completes

Mike - I actually did that very thing .. it worked for http but not for https. My question is if this works does that mean the soap adapter should also be able to get "out" using the same proxy settings?

I don't know yet - we just upgraded to SP13 and those values have now appeared in the soap adapter setup, but I'm not sure what to put there.
