Is it possible to do that on Sap - Abap application, how can i do that this kind of application.

the question is not very clear. Do you want your non-sap application listen to SAP application. or do you want to modify the SAP application to listen to a specific port you want?

[Former Member]

From what i know, SAP has pre-defined ports it can listen to. There can be slight variations based on the system no. See the following links for default SAP ports.The document is particularly useful and gives information on the allowed ranges of ports for various SAP applications.

if you want to reconfigure the SAP ports there are 2 ways.

- you can change the SAP port configuration by reinstalling the SAP system accordingly. See the following link.

This has some information, i can give you more specific information if you can let me know for which service you want to reconfigure the ports.

you can use an external tool/system to accept incoming connections like BigIP etc. and then redirect the connections to correct SAP ports.

i would personally not recommend changing SAP ports but if you really want to i would recommend the 2nd approach.
