[1H_2024_ INT-15852] Default Port Value 22 Setting in Integration Center and Security Center

[pboulicaut]

In 2H-2023 SAP Introduced a limitation to only be able to setup SFTP server with port number 22.

We could configure & schedule a destination in Security Center > Destination with a port number different than 22.

it was confirmed by : 

3148291 - Not able to use alternative ports for SFTP communication besides Port 22 (sap.com)

in B2311, it's still possible to select in Integration Center in Destination > Multiple Destinations > a destination with port different than 22.

NOW, in B2405, if you have your test instance refreshed with Production instance , you can no longer

reschedule your integration jobs to EXISTING DESTINATIONS in Security Center > Destination Settings (despite the precaution to have configure in PROD tenant the Destination Settings required for Test Tenant )

and Destination records in Security Center > Destination Settings with port number different than 22, then these destinations are no longer selectable.

SAP SUPPORT Don't want to recognise these as a regression.

I've opened a second ticket 533240/2024 to explain  the situation comparing side by side what is possible in B2311 & B2405 release.

SAP Customer have to alter its architecture in test environment, introduce a new sftp server on port 22 or make an exception on a existing one to have connection on these port 22 (despite security through obscurity recommend to change these port to higher port than 22000 ), schedule a job to move the files to the company sftp server on a port different than 22.

ALL these in less than a month due to the release pushed on may 17th .

How can we exit these catch 22 situation ?
