Registering a program on the Gateway

RFC connection test in SM59 might give error similar to this

———————————————————————————————————

Logon Connection Error

Error Details Error when opening an RFC connection

Error Details ERROR: program not registered

Error Details LOCATION: SAP-Gateway on host / sapgw

Error Details DETAIL: TP not registered

Error Details COMPONENT: SAP-Gateway

Error Details COUNTER: 16793

Error Details MODULE: gwr3cpic.c

Error Details LINE: 1694

Error Details RETURN CODE: 679

Error Details SUBRC: 0

Error Details RELEASE: 700

Error Details TIME: Mon APR 17 13:08:02 2009

Error Details VERSION: 2

———————————————————————————————————

The program in the above error should be registered in the gateway for this connection test to complete successfully. The server program rfcexec is responsible for its registration on the gateway.

To register the program login into the OS level as sudo su - adm and execute the following command.

rfcexec –g -a -x

rfcexec is the server program name, the can be obtained from SM59, it is case sensitive and should match with the entry in SM59. The and can be obtained from the transaction SMGW. When this command is executed it goes to a hanging loop.

The connection will fail once this command is terminated or the user executing this command logs off

To avoid this, instead of using the above mentioned command an entry should be made in the file saprfc.ini

To do this, execute the following command

sudo su - adm

rfcexec –D

is the RFC destination name in SM59

So now we are done with registering the server program, but how do we check it is registered, once a server program is registered it is displayed in the Logged on clients in SMGW.

In transaction SMGW choose GOTO-> Logged on clients. There should be an entry for the server program in the screen that is displayed with system type Registered_TP (which indicates that the program is registered)

There can be many reasons due to which we might get this error saying server program is not registered, once such instance which I faced was where in the TREX server, a new RFC destination was defined, the TREX server creates a new program id each time this RFC destination is defined. This program id was not changed in TCP/IP connection is SM59 which was the reason why the destination was failing

Problem in transport Tuesday, April 14, 2009

Hi All,

Recently i have faced a issue with long running transports the reasons is some corrupted transports. So once you met this error you will not be able to even transport any other request.So here is the procedure through which you can resolve any issue related to STMS

1.) Ask everybody to leave the STMS transaction

2.) Ensure that there are no running transports (I mean currently
started) and kill all "tp" processes on all application server of BWP

3.) Copy to another location the content of /usr/sap/trans/tmp
afterwards truncate the content of /usr/sap/trans/tmp

4.) Delete the content of TRBAT and TRJOB tables on BWP if they
containing some entries

5.) Please take a screenshot of the Import Monitor of BWP and after that delete the entry within

6.) Start the failing imports again.



Enjoy Maadi...............

How to change default log-off url in CRM web ui ??

HI All,

In CRM new WEB UI, when profile other than IC_AGENT is assigned, there will be a system link "Log Off". When user clicks on it, the web ui session will be killed, and a page will be displayed. Normally it will be http://www.sap.com.

So here i am sharing how to change that link

In spro->Customer Relationship Management->UI Framework
->Technical Role Definition->Define Technical Profile
The field URL serves for this purpose.

So change the URL in url field and next time when you click log-off it will display your customized page.

Setting Up the Help Center in SAP CRM Monday, April 13, 2009

Hi All,

These days i am updating lot of things about CRM ....dont get bored will update you soon with some new products also ....mean while i dont have much option ...

So here is the process to install the Help center for CRM WEB UI just equivalent to SAP Library in our CRM ABAP or R3 ABAP...

Follow these steps ...

1) Download library from http://service.sap.com/crm-inst. For the documentation on SAP CRM 2007, go to SAP CRM 2007 -> CRM Product -> Business User Documentation.

2) Unpack the ZIP file and install the business user documentation to a local file server.

3) In SAP CRM, start transaction SR13.

4) Remove all entries on tab "DynamicHelp" if there are any.

5) Make the following settings depending on if you have installed the documentation on a local file server or a web server:
Local File Server:
Go to tab "PlainHTMLFile" and fill the entries as follows:

Variant: enter a name for the variant, for example "HelpEnglish1"

Platform: "WN32" if you are using Microsoft Windows, else select from the F4 help.

Area: "XML_DOCU"

Path: Enter the path where the help is stored, for example "\\fileserver00\helpfiles\"

"Language": Enter the language key, for example "EN" for English or "DE" for German.

Default": Select one language entry as a default. This will be the fallback entry in case a language is not available.

To make the help available in several languages, you need to add one additional line per language, with a different variant name and language key.

Save your entries.

6) In Customizing, go to Sap Web Application Server -> Knowledge Management -> Settings in the Application System -> Sequence of Enhancements in Customer Namespace. Make the following entries
SPACE_01: "BBPCRM"
Enhancement: "700".
Select "Execute".
7) Re-start the Web user interface of SAP CRM. The "Help Center" and "?" links should now work in CRM WEB UI.


Note: While sharing HELP FILES take care that you create a folder and then put EN inside that like

//server/helpserver/EN
