Creating JCO connection

Question

Hello
I am trying to create a JCO Connection in our EP6-SP9 (Menu Content Administration -> Web Dynpro -> Create JCO Connection). I have not installed a SLD for EP6 but have configured the EP6 to use the SLD of the XI 3.0 SP9. The test connection works OK. The creation of the JCO fails with the message below
An error has occurred:

Hi
  Can you be more specific as to what stage you get this particular error.
Couple of Questions :
When you are creating a JCO connection are you able to see the systems configured in SLD of the XI machine.
Can you tell the steps that you have done to point your WebAS to SLD of the XI machine.
Also try clicking on the Check SLD connection and see if the connection is ok.
regards
