HTTP or SOAP Adapter Can't Reach "Outside"

[Former Member]

Does anyone have any direction or could anyone point me to some SAP docs on how to configure your network to allow the adapters to get out to the "wild internet". I have tried configuring the SOAP adapter to hit our normal web browsing proxy/port along with my user name/password but that isn't working. When I go to the web service URL I can reach it fine from my browser but not from the XI box ( adapter ).

Thanks!

Are you able to ping the box (using its hostname) hosting your web service from the xi box? If not, are you able to ping the box with its IP address? Probably, you should talk to your network administrator and get the connectivity between the boxes checked.

Hi Andrew,

Try to use HTTP Destination mode and create a RFC Destination in sm59 (HTTP Type=G).

Specify all the connection parameters - proxy details, authentication details etc. Use Test RFC (F8) there and try to figure out if it is working. If so, then XI can use that RFC destination and connect to the internet.
