BEx report designer error RSBOLAP 017 Java communication error

[#1]

Hello experts,

I got Bex error duirng I try to insert Infor provider in BEx report designer.

To reproduce it - In BEX Report designer, use Report->Inser data provider (select InfoAreas) and try to use any InfoProvider.

I've checked notes:

917950 - SAP NetWeaver 2004s: Setting Up BEx Web

916090 - RFC-error messages in Web Application Designer 2004s

and also 888687 and 917950, 937697).

Regarding notes I must have EP component in Java stack in order to use Bex:

BEx Web in SAP NetWeaver 2004s (Usage Type BI-Java) requires Usage Types EP and AS-Java, i.e. a Portal on a Java stack is required

If you don't want to use the new BEx Web functionality, you can still use BEx Web 3.5 Runtime that is running only with Usage Type AS-ABAP.

I used Bex based on 7.40 and haven't EP component installed in my java stack. I use double stack system - Solman 7.1.

Note 916090 has remark:

In most cases, however, the connectivity is not properly configured, so the call will not return a result also during the second and all following tries.

In that case please ask your system administrator to set up the ABAP->JAVA and JAVA->ABAP connectivity in a valid way (at least for your user...).

Anyway, my question is:

Can I configure ABAP<->JAVA connectivity in order to use Bex functionality without Portal installed?

Hi,

Web Application Designer 7.x is based on Java as it uses XML code.

You need to have Java stack configured correctly with your BW ABAP stack.

If you don't have Java stack , then you will get the Java communications errors and you cannot use WAD 7.x functionalities.

There is no way to use WAD 7.x if you don't have Java stack as the code (XML) supports Java stack.

The only way is to use WAD 3.x which don't require Java stack.

In your Java stack it is mandatory that you have BI Java components available then only WAD 7.x will work correctly.
