ESS Business Package Implementation

Question

Hi Gurus,
Please Help with the configuration of the ESS BP.
First I have been using Siddhartha Jain's guide for Configuring the Business Package for ESS.
We have successfully created all the JCo connections, but we are having difficulties configuring the three systems:  SAP_WebDynpro_XSS and SAP_ITS_EBU and SAP_R3_Financials.
To provide background information on our overall landscape we currently have the following configured:
ECC 5.0
NW2004s (7.0) Java Web AS running EP
NW2004 Java Web AS running only XSS components for ESS/MSS
In Siddhartha's guide he describes setting up the SAP_WebDynpro_XSS alias wiht the WAS properties.  The issue we are having is with the WAS host name <J2EE Name>:<port>
Question:  Should the Host name be the name of our Java Web AS stack running the XSS components or the name of our Java Web AS stack running Enterprise portals?  Also which port should accompany the Host Name?
Question:  Regarding the SAP_ITS_EBU alias configuration, where can we determine our ITS 6.40 Name and Port number?
Thank you in advance,
Steven Allspach
PS, will award points for helpful input.

Deb,
Thank you very much for your response.  You made very clear the question I had about <host Name>:<Port>.
However,  When I put those settings into the "system" and then i try to test i get the following results:
SAP Web AS Connection
  Test Details:
The test consists of the following steps:
1. Checks the validity of system ID in the system object.
2. Checks if the system can be retrieved from the PCD.
3. Check whether a SAP system is defined in the system object
4. Validate the following parameters: WAS protocol; WAS host name
5. Checks if the host name of the server can be resolved.
6. Pings the server to see if it is alive.
7. Pings the WAS ping service; works only if the service is activated on the ABAP WAS.
8. Checks HTTP/S connectivity to the defined back-end application
  Results
1. The system ID is valid
2. The system was retrieved.
3. The system object represents an SAP system
4. The following parameters are valid: Web AS Protocol (http) Web AS Host Name (bus0230.baldor.com:53600)
5. The host name bus0230.baldor.com was resolved successfully.
6. The server bus0230.baldor.com could not be pinged successfully.
Should I be concerned that the server cannot be ping successully?  I see that step 7 says this will only be sucessful if the services is activated on teh ABAP WAS.  So i am thinking this test will not complete successfully?
Best Regards,
Steven
