WD ABAP: Problems with localhost netweaver

[Former Member]

Hi,

first of all I'm not very sure of that I'm asking my question in the right group so I would like to apologize for any inconvenience.

I'm working with the sneak preview of the sap netweaver (abap version), I've installed succesfully in a computer and it seems to work properly. Also I'm able to connect to netweaver from others computers, but my problem comes when I try to create a new view from the SE80 transaction.

I obtain a 404 error in the object view section, and it's normal because if we look at the address we could see that it refers to localhost instead the real address of the server. The address it's something like this:

http://localhost:8000/sap/bc/wdvd?_vdrespkey=8YI47X9OAEK2GJY1KDN5VHAXI&_vdframe=no_add_ui_lib&sap-cl...

How can I change localhost for the real IP of my server??

best regards

javi

I've found another solution, just go to the directory:

usr\sap\NSP\SYS\profile\

and set the property icm/host_name_full to your ip address.

In my case this directive is in the file NSP_DVEBMGS00_

I forgot to mention that the server is running on windows xp professional.

This is a problem I also had,

What I did was as follows.

Change the domain of the computer

-

---

1) Right click on my Computer and select proprties

2) Click computer name

3) Click change

4) Click more

5) Specify a made up domain "javier.com" for example

Add this domain to your hosts file. This will allow your web browser to understand request from the javier.com domain.

-

---

1) Find file "hosts" in c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc

2) add line 127.0.0.1 <computerName>.javier.com

Update the SAP instance profile so that the icm uses the new domain.

-

---

1) Start SAP

2) Go to transaction RZ10.

3) Load the profiles off the server (if you haven't done so before).

4) Modify the instance profile in "extended maintenance" mode.

5) Change parameter "icm/host_name_full" from <computer name> to <computer name>.javier.com.

6) Copy the changes back and save.

7) Stop and restart SAP.

😎 Go into transaction SMICM and check the HTTP service is running.

9) Test a webdynpro.

Hope this is clear enough for you and it helps.
