PI 7.0 access through IP instead of hostname

[Former Member]

Hi Experts,

I want to access PI though the IP address and not the hostname. What are the settings required so that SXMB_IFR goes to the ip address, and all the links to IR, ID, SLD, RWB also refer to the IP instead of the hostname.

Any other issues that might arise if i use the ip instead of the host name?

Please advise.

Regards,

Hi,

please refer below link

The SLD self-registration information is internally read from the J2EE Engine. In certain cases where, the host name resolution is not supported in a landscape, it may however be necessary to predefine the values for SLD self-registration (that is, usage IP addresses instead of host names).

These properties usually do not need to be changed and may only be changed after consulting SAP support.

But it will not be possible to start IR, ID with using the IP address instead of host name. its possible to connect SLDs.

there is one hitch probably it could help you

See below parameters in the given link

You can add the following columns by changing the layout:

· Service: service port or service name under which the server can be reached.

· Host address (IPv4): IP address of the host in IPv4 notation

· Host address (IPv4): IP address of the host in IPv6 notation

· Port: Port number

· Port (Hex): Port number in hexadecimal form

Access Control List (ACL)

With parameter ms/acl_info you can specify a file with access authorizations to the message server. If this file exists, it must include all host names, domains, IP addresses and/or subnetwork masks from which application servers are allowed to log on to the message server.

The names can be either put in a list or written in separate lines.

This file has no affect on external client who want only to get information from the message server. This is possible in any case.

The entries must have the following syntax:

HOST=[*| ip-adr | hostname | subnetwork mask | domain ]

You create the file at operating system level. You can then display and reload the file in the message server monitor (SMMS). To do so, choose Goto ® Security Settings ® Access Control.

HOST = sapapp1, sappapp2 means that only logons from hosts sapapp1 and sapapp2 are permitted.

HOST = *.sap.com means that all host names are allowed from domain sap.com.

HOST = 157.23.45.56, 157.23.45.57 means that only hosts with these IP addresses are allowed.

HOST = 157.23.45.* means that all hosts from this subnetwork are allowed.
