Hi,

Does anyone know in which transactions, we can see if an connection has been

established between SAP and APO? Thanks!

Hi Vamsee,

You can check transaction code SM59 -> R/3 Connection -> Select APO server -> Click on Test connection button.

Hope this will help.

Moreover, if test connection is working as Ferry told you.

Also check (F6) or TEST->authorization

Hope this’ll give you idea!!

Pl... award the points.

Good luck

Thanks

Check in the RFCDES table. The destination available with R/3 and APO.

Hi,

I did click on Test Connection and I did get Coonection type and R/3 Connection.

I got the following results:

0 KB - 1 msec

10 KB - 2 msec

20 KB - 2 msec

30 KB - 3 msec

So, it means there is a connection between R/3 and SAP. right? Can anyone please confirm me this?

Thank YOu.

Yes, this means that there is a good connection. Now, when calling your RFC enabled function module, make sure to use the destination name in your call.

Hi,

In SM59, do we always have to give the IP address of the destination, in this case APO?

If we have to give the IP address, does anyone know from where I can find the IP address of the destination?

Thank You.

You don't have to use the IP, you can provide the host name. Giving the host name, I believe that the system will resolve the IP automatically.

Rich,

Actually, they did give the IP address. Do you know where I can find the IP address of APO (destination)?

Thank You.

You would have to talk to your basis/network team, as they would surely know the host name of your APO box as well as the static IP.
