Hi friends,

I am New to ALE/IDOC. I have tried to create ALE/IDOC from initial.When I create RFC(SM59) I am getting message like HOSTNAME ERP800 is unknown.

I have created following way.

1. created two logical systems using SALE tcode. they are ERP000 is for sending system and ERP800 is for receiving system , then saved the details.

2.Assigned ERP000 logical system to client 122 which has client role as test and saved the details

3. Tried to created RFC using SM59. values are given below.

RFCdestination = ERP800.

connection type = 3.

desc 1 = RFC CREATION.

Target Host = ERP000. After specifying this value, if I press enter I am getting message like HOSTNAME ERP800 is unknown.

Kindly tell me what was went wrong, Is there any naming convention , steps to be followed.

OR give me the step by step documentation with celar example.

Kindly provide the answer to this proble only.

for the right answer ......... will be provided

Thanks in advance,

Hi,

You are using the logical system as target host. Give the application server of the system to which you are sending the IDOC.

To see the application server, open the SAP LOGON PAD. click on the system and go to change properties page. Enter the same in Target host.

Logon details should be maintained in LOGON and SECURITY TAB.

Thanks,

Lakshmi

you can get the host name from you BASIS people...

like Target Host sapglcapt001

and IP address also from which server your connecting that server IP address pass...

like you connecting APO server , check in SAP LOG ON pad with APO server IP address and pass your RFC connection...

Hi Senthil,

In RFC destination the host name is for that particular client which is pointing to IP address not to the logical system. You can choose name of RFC destination same as of your logical system.

You can get the host name by login to SAP system (both client) and the using MENU ... System->Status and in lower right corner you can find it.

If you are using Single SAP system then the host name is going to be same for both client and the system number will vary that you will also input in SM59.

Check this for more detail:
