Answer 1

Hello Kranthi,
When we need to make a conncetion between R/3 & BW , First logon to R/3 system , Go to T/code - SM59 .
There u find connections . Select on ABAP and click on New
Then Provide the description
Go to technical settings tab :
Provide load balancing : No
if you know the server name : give it in the target host name
or give the IP Address ;
Then after that go to logon & Security Tab :
provide the RFC user ID , Client & Password .
And now check the connection by clicking on the connection test
If it shows some 2mins ,like that then it is ok ...
Otherwise then it is a problem ...
repeat the same thing by giving the target as R/3 here .
now go the RSA1 , select the source systems , create source systems
Select BW source systems
give the target system details , such as system no . System ID ,server name ..
And also background user id & password for both the target systemm & source system .
Now Select the created source system , context menu & Check the connection .
This job is performed with the help of basis people , not only by BW team .
This is maintaince is done for every system ( Dev , Qaulity & production seperately )
Thanks
PT
