FTP RFC Connection setup - step by step

Good afternoon
I am not a BASIS/System Administrator; in my colleague's absence I have to attempt setting up an FTP RFC Connection.
I have the following information:
1. IP Address
2. Username
3. Password
The following is the setup I tried:
a. Connection Type == G - HTTP Connection to Ext. Server
b. Target Host (Technical Settings Tab) == &IP Address&
c. Logon username (Logon/Security Tab) == &Username&
d. Logon password (Logon/Security Tab) == &Password&
But, the 'Test Connection' fails with 'ICM_HTTP_CONNECTION_FAILED'.
Any suggestions to resolve will be much appreciated!
Thank you and best regards, Adrian

Hi Adrian,
Could you detail what you are trying to set up a connection to? This would help determine whether the connection type you are using is correct.
Regards.
Steve.

EWA RFC connection SETUP - From Customer system to VAR solution Manager

Hi,
we are going to setup the EWA for our customers. So how I have to create the RFC from the customer system to our Solution Manager?
Thanks

Hi Andrea,
Have you already tried to use SMSY to generate the "Back" Destination from customer system to your SolMan?
Once you have selected the customer system in SMSY, you are able to use the RFC connection wizard.
Alternatively, you can define the RFC destination manually.
For easier tracking and trouble shooting, I would recommend to setup a communication user in your SolMan for each individual connected managed customer system.
Assign the appropiate profiles to the user in your SolMan system and create the RFC destination in the managed customer system.

Ruediger

BI - Sybase RFC connection & setup

Dear All
We are going to implement Sybase in our existing landscape.
Right now we have BI Component Ver. SAP NetWeaver 2004s with database Oracle 10.2.0.4.0. All BI reports are publishing in dashboard via EP Portal.
We want to connect our sybase server with BI and publish the all BI reports through sybase on EP portal
Should any one guide me how can i make the RFC from sybase to BI server. We decide to go with UD connection with JAVA JDBC connector. Should any one guide me to create the RFC TCP/IP RFC connection from BI to sybase server
BI server is running on SUN Solaris. OS
And sybase server is running on Windows 2k8 server.
Thanks and Regards,
Nirav Kundaria

Nirav,
The forum that you have posted your question in is for questions related to SAP Business One System Administration. Your question seems to be related to Sybase, BI and NetWeaver. You may have better luck posting your question in those forms here on SDN.

RFC connection (SM59) fails with load balancing enabled.

Hello All,
We have an RFC connection setup between two SAP systems. The RFC connection works fine if it points to the destination system. But if we enable load balancing, the connection fails with this error:

Hi,
I think you have added wrong port entry in services file.
The entry of sap servers in services file for load balancing are
sapms<SID> 36<instance number>/tcp
so please check once again and add the entry using above formula in services file.
Also add the entry of all SAP servers in your hosts file.
<IP> <HOSTNAME>

Step by step guide to create a RFC connection and data transfer

hi
could i get a step by step guide to transfer/read data from SAP and legacy system using the concept of RFC.
Regards
Shiva

hi
Here are the steps.
SM59 Transaction is used for Connection Establishment with Destination.
When you establish a connection to a client through a destination, the HTTP connection must first be entered in transaction SM59.
There are two types of HTTP connection in transaction SM59: Call transaction SM59 to display the different RFC destinations.
The HTTP connection to the external server (connection type G) and the HTTP connection to the R/3 system (connection type H) are different only in their logon procedures. Their technical settings are the same. To display the technical settings, double-click a connection.
You can choose from three tabs. Under Technical Settings, you can specify the following:
· Target Host: The host to which you want to connect.
Note that if you are using HTTPS as a protocol, you have to specify the full host name (with domain).
· Service No.: Here, you specify the port. The destination host must of course be configured in such a way that the specified port understands the corresponding protocol (HTTP or HTTPS). See Parameterizing the ICM and the ICM Server Cache.
· Path Prefix: At the time when the connection to this destination is initiated, the system inserts this sub-path before ~request_uri.
· HTTP Proxy Options: Here, you can configure a proxy for HTTP connections: You can determine the proxy host and service, as well as users and passwords for the HTTP connection.
The tab page Logon/Security will be different depending on whether you have selected a HTTP connection to an external server (connection type G) or a HTTP connection to an R/3 system (connection type H).
HTTP Connection to an External Server (Connection Type G)
Choose the connection you want to use. You can choose from the following logon procedures:
· No Logon: The server program does not request a user or password.
· Basic Authentication: The server program requests a user and password. Basic Authentication is a standard HTTP method for authenticating users. When a user logs on to the target system, he or she provides a user ID and password as authentication. This information is then sent in a header variable as a Base 64-encoded string to the server, through the HTTP connection.
· SSL Client Certificate: If you use client certificates for authentication, the client authentication is performed through the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocol. In this case, you must also select the SSL Client PSE of the SAP Web AS that contains the relevant certificate for the authentication. The target system must handle the issuer of the SAP Web AS client certificate as a trusted system.
Under Logon/Security, you can also activate SSL to ensure that HTTPS is the protocol used (if you select SSL, make sure that the correct port is entered under Technical Settings). In the security transaction STRUST you can determine which type of SSL client is used. (Getting Started with the Trust Manager, Trust Manager).
The field Authorization for Destination has been implemented as an additional level of protection. We recommend that you specify a user and password for the RFC destination.
HTTP Connection to an R/3 System (Connection Type H)
Here, you can specify more settings for authentication in the target system.
The settings under Technical Settings and Special Options are the same as for connection type G. Under Logon/Security, the connection type H has additional logon procedures. As with external servers, you can activate and deactivate SSL and specify an authorization.
Because the target system is an SAP system, you can set the client and language for the logon as well as the user name and password. If you check Current User, you have to specify the password.
The following authentication procedures are available: Basic Authentication, SAP Standard, and SAP Trusted System, and SSL Client Certificate.
· HTTP Basic Authentication: Logon with user and password
· SAP Standard: This procedure uses an RFC logon procedure. The RFC Single Sign-On (SSO) procedure is valid within the one system. The same SAP user (client, language, and user name) is used for logon.
· SAP Trusted System: Trusted RFC logon to a different SAP system (see Trusted System: Maintaining Trust Relationships Between SAP Systems)).
· SSL Client Certificate: The SSL protocol enables you to use client certificates for the logon.
Type G/H (SM59)
Timeout:
When sending a HTTP request, you can use this parameter to specify the maximum response time for the connection.
HTTP Setting:
You can use the HTTP version to specify the protocol version of the HTTP request (HTTP 1.0 or 1.1).
Compression:
You can use this option to activate the gzip compression for the request body. This can only be activated in HTTP Version 1.1.
Compressed Response:
In the standard setting, the SAP Web Application Server sends the Accept Encoding field as a header field with the value gzip, if the application server can handle this compression. This notifies the partner that the caller can handle gzip decompression, and that the partner can send compressed data. If you want to prevent a compressed response being sent, choose the option No.
HTTP Cookie:
You can use this option to control the way received cookies are handled.
You can specify the following for cookies:
· Accept them automatically
· Reject them automatically
· Accept or reject them in a prompt
· Use a handler for the event IF_HTTP_CLIENT~EVENTKIND_HANDLE_COOKIE to process the cookies in the program.
· In the next section, you can read about the parallelization of requests.

Step by step complete setup for WRT54G ver.6 with Laptop and XBOX 360

Hello. I am sorry to post this, I am sure it is a juevenile and redundent question...but I have tried to look for the set up cd (I can find where to download it...though I can find the firmware upgrade or whatever). My friend at work said it would do all the setup pretty much automatically for me.
I somewhat know computers, but you might go ahead and make your replies VERY lamen's terms or I might not be able to follow. Anyways, what I need, is a step by step/screen by screen directions for a secure network. I have made a partial attempt at setting it up and it technically works, but I would feel better if I did the steps a-z in order, so I know that it is done correctly. I also am not totally confident in its security as it is now. (Also, technically, I did not check the XBOX again after getting the new laptop, I am just assuming it is still working because it was before).
My problem is I can't seem to find very good directions for setting up the router...I only find partials or confusing directions.
So here are the things I am trying to connect:
Liksys WRT54G ver. 6
Gateway Laptop running Windows Vista
XBOX 360 - WIRED
(I had a PC and a laptop, but they both died at the same time and I have only been able to replace the laptop at this point...the PC will come later and not sure at this point if it will be Wired or not).
I have a cable Modem between the Router and the wall...I didn't look at that for brand/etc...but I can get it ASAP if needed.
Here are the settings that I have so far:
Changed the Router Name
Changed the SSID
Have DHCP set to 3 (XBOX, PC, Laptop)
Wireless SSID Broadcast: Disable
Username and Password changed to my own info
UPnP: Enable
I may have changed other things without knowing it. So like I said, a complete, step by step screen by screen set up would be totally appreciated. I haven't done anything in the security tab, all that is totally foreign to me, so I am just not broadcasting for now until I can get some help setting things up with you guys.
And if someone is familiar with the Laptop/XBOX 360 setup, and I need to change any of the settings on the XBOX itself, could you please include that in your directions? I know that isn't technically what THIS forum is for, but it would sure be helpful to me if you happen to know both parts anyways.
Thanks a lot (in advance)!

So all you just need to do is, secure your Wireless Network. Follow the setps bellow and change the settings on your Router.
Open an Internet Explorer browser page on your wired computer(desktop).In the address bar type - 192.168.1.1 and press Enter...Leave Username blank & in Password use admin in lower case...
For Wireless Settings, please do the following : -
Click on the Wireless tab
- Wireless Network mode should be mixed...
- Provide a unique name in the Wireless Network Name (SSID) box in order to differentiate your network from your neighbours network...
- Set the Wireless channel to 11-2.462GHz...Wireless SSID broadcast should be Enabled and then click on Save Settings...
Please make a note of Wireless Network Name (SSID) as this is the Network Identifier...
For Wireless Security : -
Click on the Sub tab under Wireless > Wireless Security...
Change the Wireless security mode to WPA, For Encryption, select TKIP...For Passphrase input your desired WPA Key. For example , MySecretKey , This will serve as your network key whenever you connect to your wireless network. Do NOT give this key to anyone and remember the key.
NOTE : Passphrase should be more that 8 characters...
Now see if you can locate your Wireless Network and attempt to connect...
Click on Advanced Wireless Settings
Change the Beacon Interval to 75 >>Change the Fragmentation Threshold to 2304, Change the RTS Threshold to 2304 >>Click on "Save Settings"...
Now see if you can locate your Wireless Network and attempt to connect...

Thanx for Ur time.
Cheers,

Hi,
Once gone thru all those documents u need to folloe these steps.
U need to configure the SLD and techinical system if it is properly conneted then your work is easy.
Then you have to go and crete the create the JCo Destination systems.
After you can urilize the created JCO in your application.
When you create the create the model you need to give the model names and Jco names and give the r/3 system details and get your function module from the R/3 side before need to make your fnmodule as Remote enabled and give the authrization roles.
Then you can get the Ur fn module into webdynpro.

Step By Step Mail Setup

I am extreamly new to this.
I have Mavericks and the related server software (V3).
I have setup the websites ( easily I might add ).
My issue is the mail setup.
All meterials I have found deal with ealier versions of the Server App.
My domain is controlled by Godaddy
It's hosted on my mac.
Question(s):
Exactly, how do I setup mail accounts for my domain?
Do I need to make changes to MX records ( with Godaddy )?
What ports do I need to open up ( on my router )?
Can I host mail for more than 1 site?
What I need to know it this - EVERYTHING.
Not kidding.
Like I said, I am EXTREAMLY new to this.
I know NOTHING about this.
Please - help.
- Russell

Hi - I've just been through this. It's not that hard but does need thought.
In summary, you need to:
- Make sure there's an MX record at Godaddy that connects your domain name and IP
- Make sure you have DNS set up on Mavericks server
- Set up your users on Mavericks server
- Configure the mail service.
Since I'm not the expert, here are some resource sthat I found very helpful:
- Search here for posts by MrHoffman - he has much sound advice and step-by-step explanation for beginners - he's answered questions for me very clearly and quickly
- Linc Davis too has posted loads of useful information
- The website below has a complete set of tutorials:
http://krypted.com/guides/mavericks-server/
I found the short book below very helfpul - it's available as an ebook in various formats, either direct or from Amazon:
http://www.wegotserved.com/2013/10/29/using-os-x-mavericks-server-home-now-liste d-amazon/
Final suggestion: the people here have a utility to auto-configure a mail server for you. Advantages - works, cheap, does the job. Possible disadvantages: it doesn't use the server standard directories (this is deliberate to avoid the risk of a future server version changing directories and screwing up), which means that you might be on your own later if you want to tweak services manually

Setup of Xwindows - step by step guide for SLES 11.3 reqd

Hi
I have used Unix before but I am new to SLES and I need to run a gui based installer on a new AWS image of SUSE 11.3.
I wanted to remove Putty/SSH complications from the equation so for now, to check if XWindows is working I directly connected to the SLES desktop using xRDP as ec2-user, and from xterm I issued the following commands:
su - root
export TERM=xterm
export DISPLAY=localhost:0.0
After checking the variables, I launched xclock but it fails making me conclude that Xwindows is not correctly configured or running.
Can anyone point me towards a step by step guide on how to setup XWindows, or given my dated knowledge, is there a better way to run a gui-based program?
Regards
Ratna

A couple thoughts:
1. If this is just SLES (and not Open Enterprise Server (OES) then you
may want to post in the SUSE forums (https://forums.suse.com/) using the
same credentials that you used to access this site.
2. It sounds like you have X working already since you were able to acess
the system using xRDP. Is there a reason you cannot just start the
installer from there? Alt+F2 to run things usually, I think. If you are
using Gnome, I think 'gksu' or 'gksudo' will start things as a privileged
user from the current non-root user after sufficient credentials are
entered; from the KDE side of things I use 'kdesu' all of the time for the
same thing. This avoids loading a shell, changing to root, forwarding X,
etc. as you are trying to do.
3. Going back to your attempt, I do not see you allowing access to your X
session anywhere so that 'root' can connect with its new process. Before
you change to root, you need to instruct your current X session to allow
other users to throw things onto your desktop (usually not a good thing).
The easy way is to just run 'xhost +' from a shell, maybe before running
'su'; note that if other users are on the system they can now send shells
your way forever, and that may not be fun.
Good luck.

Macbook will NOT connect to Internet. Need Step By Step

Often times in the past, my computer pretty much decides if it wants to connect to my wi fi or not. Usually if I fiddled with the settings it worked but now it's a mess. It claims I have service, there are bars of service but I still can't use the internet. And when using internet assistant, it says I can't connect to the internet. I really need help. I'm not too computer knowledgeable and would like a step by step on how the network settings should be done properly. Obviously there;s something wrong.

Without knowing more about your setup, it's extremely difficult to give you a step-by-step. Have you contacted your ISP? They can walk you through it.

2 apple IDs how do I setup a 2 step verification?

I have 2 apple IDs 1 for itunes store,app store and Mac app store and another for iCloud how do I setup a 2 step verification?

I can't. When I connect my iPhone to my computer either my iPhone or the computer "knows" about my old id and tries to use it. I don't know the password for my old id and I'm not using, and don't have access to, the email for my old id. I can't find my old id in my phone or computer to get rid of it.
Thoughts?

Step by Step Guide Details for RFC to File and File to RFC scenario

Hi Guru's
Good day to you. I am tyring to develop some scenarios based on RFC adaptor. so i want to start up with basic scenarios like RFC to File scenario(Here i just want to pull some data from SAP using RFC and put it in destination folder as an text file) and FILE to RFC scenario (Here i just want to take some data from the file and update into SAP).
For doing these scenarios i would like to request you people to send me the step by step guide which explains me about the complete steps of configurations required to do the RFC to FILE scenario and FILE to RFC scenario.
I found some scenarios and i am in confused state. so i request you to please put your experience to help me out.
thanks in advance.
Regards
Raj

Hi Aaron,
I don't know your scenario and your ECC and PI versions but I learned how to use ABAP Proxy more than 1 year ago with the following tutorial:
Edit--> The forum doesn't allow me to post external link, just search "ABAP Proxy Communication Scenario" in google and visit the 1st result
The way to develop ABAP Proxys has changed a little if your PI is 7.1. In the ECC side, the transaction SPROXY looks much better too if you have a recent version of the ECC.
Edited by: Marshal on Oct 8, 2009 5:08 PM
I've found that SDN Document. Maybe the scenario is not the most simple to start with ABAP Proxy but is very well documented and is for PI 7.1. The document also handles the inbound and outbound proxys
