Another IISPROXY question (multiple SAP systems)

Question

Hi!
We've got a challenge. We have SAP EP (6.0 SP12), visible from outside
(via  MS ISA server publishing). Also we have several SAP systems (BW,
ERP2004, Solution Manager), that we want to make available from web.
We installed IIS proxy module on portal server machine. It's working.
I even maneged to publish some test reports and WebGUI of BW server.
But when I try to publish in a simmilar way other system, I fall into
problem.
When you call '/sap/bw/' for example, SAP system after authentication
converts it to something like '/sap(lsdkSDF435ssdgf)/bw'. As far as I
understand between "(" and ")" there is some hash of password or something.
The problem is, that it's true and the same for all SAP systems.
So if I put in iisproxy.xml following strings:
<mapping name="bw">
<source>
     <protocol>http</protocol>
     <prefix>/sap/bw/</prefix>
</source>
<source>
     <protocol>http</protocol>
     <prefix>/sap/bw</prefix>
</source>
<source>
     <protocol>http</protocol>
     <prefix>/sap/public/bc/its/mimes/</prefix>
</source>
<source>
     <protocol>http</protocol>
     <prefix>/sap(</prefix>
</source>
<target>
        <protocol>http</protocol>
     <host>bw-server.ourdomain.local</host>
     <port>8000</port>
</target>
<compress-types>text/html, text/plain</compress-types>
</mapping>
it's working for BW server. We able to see reports and webGUI.
If I try to add following strings for ERP2004 server:
<mapping name="erp">
     <source>
          <protocol>http</protocol>
          <prefix>/erp/sap/bc/gui/sap/</prefix>
          <new-prefix>/sap/bc/gui/sap/</new-prefix>
     </source>
     <source>
          <protocol>http</protocol>
          <prefix>/erp/sap/bc/gui/sap</prefix>
          <new-prefix>/sap/bc/gui/sap</new-prefix>
     </source>
     <source>
          <protocol>http</protocol>
          <prefix>/erp/sap/bw/BEx</prefix>
          <new-prefix>/sap/bw/BEx</new-prefix>
     </source>
     <source>
          <protocol>http</protocol>
          <prefix>/erp/sap/bw/BEx/</prefix>
          <new-prefix>/sap/bw/BEx/</new-prefix>
     </source>
     <source>
          <protocol>http</protocol>
          <prefix>/erp/sap/public/bc/its/mimes/</prefix>
          <new-prefix>/sap/public/bc/its/mimes/</new-prefix>
     </source>
     <source>
          <protocol>http</protocol>
          <prefix>/erp/sap/public/bc/ur/Design2002/</prefix>
          <new-prefix>/sap/public/bc/ur/Design2002/</new-prefix>
     </source>
     <source>
          <protocol>http</protocol>
          <prefix>/erp/sap/bc/public/systemlogin/</prefix>
          <new-prefix>/sap/bc/public/systemlogin/</new-prefix>
     </source>
     <source>
          <protocol>http</protocol>
          <prefix>/sap(</prefix>
     </source>
     <target>
          <protocol>http</protocol>
          <host>erp2004-server.ourdomain.local</host>
          <port>8000</port>
     </target>
<compress-types>text/html, text/plain</compress-types>
</mapping>
and try to open webGUI, it redirects to BW server.
A think that's because double '/sap(' prefixes.
How can we avoid that?
Same situation for SolMan.
In portal's 'System Landscape' setup is:
BW system
  ITS
    ITS description: CLIxxxSID
    ITS host name: portal-server.ourdomain.ru (this name in accessible from internet, it's a host where portal and IISPROXY are installed)
    ITS path: /sap/bc/gui/sap/its/webgui
ERP2004 system
  ITS
    ITS description: CLIxxxSID
    ITS host name: portal-server.ourdomain.ru
    ITS path: /erp/sap/bc/gui/sap/its/ (I added /erp/ trying to distinguish request to ERP2004 server), without it it's also not working)
In intranet (if we do not use IISPROXY) everything is working. Of course with other system definitions in System Landscape.
Do I need to provide more details? Or my question is clear?
Thanks in advance for help and support!

P.S. Actually I opened an OSS message on this topic (with "high" priority), but no SAP activities since September, 6th :o(

Answer 1

Hi Jayesh!
Seems it's not working :o( And worst thing, that I do not know why :o(
What i've done.
1) Created an alias '/erp/sap/', that points to '/default_host/sap/bc/gui/sap/its/webgui'.
2) In System Landscape edited system definition (of an ERP2004 system), so that ITS path is now '/erp/sap/' and ITS host 'ourportal.ourdomain.ru'.
3) Created an 'SAP transaction iView' that should launch SU01 transaction in ERP2004 system.
Now when I try to open it from page, portal tries to connect me to our BW server.
Seems that alias are working in some other way :o(
Here's what I can see in IISPROXY log:
11:57:29 Filter J2EE --> GET /erp/sap/
11:57:29   7616 Proxy    GET http://erp2004.ourdomain.ru:8000/erp/sap/
11:57:29   7616 Proxy    HTTP/1.1 200 OK | queued for 0.000 sec, processed in 0.078 sec.
11:57:29   7616 Proxy    | GET http://erp2004.ourdomain.ru:8000/erp/sap/ | HTTP/1.1 200 OK | 0.000 | 0.078
11:59:41 Filter J2EE --> GET /sap(dslkknvDSAFSADVFDSVaslkdv)/bc/gui/sap/its/webgui?okcode=/nSU01&DisconnectOnClose=0&sap-client=200&sap-language=en&sap-accessibility=
11:59:41   6952 Proxy    GET http://bw.ourdomain.local:8000/sap(dslkknvDSAFSADVFDSVaslkdv)/bc/gui/sap/its/webgui
So it's still tries to open '/sap(dslkknvDSAFSADVFDSVaslkdv)/bc/gui/sap/its/webgui' instead of /erp/sap(
dslkknvDSAFSADVFDSVaslkdv)/
Thanks for help and support!
