Question Re: User Defined Systems Addition in Additional Q&A

User Defined Systems Addition

former_member201437 — Tue, 27 Sep 2016 02:50:47 GMT

Dear All,

I'm new to the MAC world.

I installed SAP GUI for Java 7.40 rev 8.5

I am able to access all internal systems but unable to add any user defined systems.

Could you please share any documentation or steps that would help me achieve this.

I am basically trying to add a customer system in my SAP GUI.

Thanks & Regards,

Sharat Chandran

You need to go to the Advanced tab of the new connection dialog box, tick "expert mode" and then add the connection details in saprouter format, like this:


conn=/H/host.domain/S/3200

Dear Steve,

Thank you very much.

Just for more Clarity as to my question.

I have the application server details and the instance ID.

Say my system name is 'XXX' and its Application Server is "10.20.30.45" and Instance ID is '00'.

Could you please help me understand how to set up the connection parameter in expert mode.

Also i connect using their VPN with IP "60.70.80.90" and Port "YYY".

Could you please help me formulate the connection parameter.

Thanks & Regards,

Sharat Chandran

In your example the connection string would be "conn=/H/10.20.30.45/S/3200"

I don't think VPN connections should make any difference, so long as you can reach the hostname or IP address directly from your machine.

Hi ,

In that matter of yours, in the login option creation, you put as mentioned by you only.

Application Server is "10.20.30.45" and Instance ID is '00'.

& SID(system name) is 'XXX'

And in the router-string option as you are looking to log on to the customer system, then in that field it would be the customer system Public IP(Can ask customer for that to Google "What is my IP")

With the above credentials, you will be able to login, if in the customer network-firewall, its allowed & also the SAProuter @ the customer side Router permission table is set to receive the incoming connection from your side.

Hope this helps & we will hear that you are already connected & logged into the customer system.

Thanks,

Dear Steve,

Just one more follow up query so that anyone who reads this article will have a clear idea

How did you come up with the port number 3200 ?

Does this mean that if the instance id was 02, i would provide /S/3202 ?

Thanks & Regards,

Hi ,

Generally the port number resembles the service running in that correspondence system.

Also in general, that port & all details in like windows system, can be checked in C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\services --file(you can view using notepad the details).

Like in my company the SAProuter system runs on port 3299.

Thanks,

Dear Kaushik,

Hi Sharat Chandran,

For Mac, follow the links below, only the thing is in the below links it shows about opening the host file, instead of that you need to open the services file in the same location for MAC demonstration.
