Issue in registering ABAP stack into SLD

Question

Hi all
The issue is as shown below. I appreciate your help.
Environment: SLD host-Windows Server 2003, Oracle 10g, WAS JAVA 640 SP19
CRM ABAP+JAVA 640 host - unix, Oracle
I was able to register CRM JAVA stack in SLD from Visual Administrator>SLD Data Supplier. The CIM Client Test was successfull.
When i try to register the CRM ABAP stack from tcode RZ70, i get an error as below:
SLD DS start program
    0: sapsrm_CRM_05                             : Execute program: SLDAPPL_SERV
    0: sapsrm_CRM_05                             : Execute program: SLDBCSYS

    1: sapsrm_CRM_05                             : Event-controlled job already exists; scheduling not necessary
I came to know from other forums in sdn that we need to install/configure separate gateway if the SLD is on a standalone JAVA engine.
Also, in SM59 SLD_UC, SLD_NUC, SAPSLDAPI are failing with the same error of "RFC call failed: / CPIC-CALL: 'ThSAPECMINIT' : cmRc=17 thRc=236#SAP gateway connection failed. Is SAP gateway started?"
Please suggest how to resolve this. Please let me know if you need more details.
Thanks already

Answer 1

Rahul,
as RK already stated: the SLD has to connect to an SAP gateway, such is running on an ABAP system.
You may initially try to use the SAP gateway from the CRM ABAP stack. Therefore you will have to adjust the SLD to use that SAP gateway. On 6.40 SLD: Administration / Data supplier bridge / RFC gateway: Server (host name) and Service (combination of sapgw and instance number of CRM ABAP system).
After that, in CRM SM59 SLD_UC, SLD_NUC, SAPSLDAPI will have to be adjusted accordingly.
