  TCP/IP Settings

As a prerequisite for communication, make the following TCP/IP settings:

  • The TCP/IP requirements must be met (especially the IP addresses in the hosts files) so that the SAP system can find the destination system.

  • Enter the name of the gateway and the dispatcher in the file services , for example sapgw00 and sapdp00.

  • By default, IDocs are sent out from the update in the SAP system. For this reason, the TCP/IP link must also be created for the updating system.

  • Work in registration mode. By doing so, the connection between the external system program and the gateway remains open. For more information, see Registering Server Programs with the SAP Gateway .

    If you do not work in registration mode, the SAP Gateway should be able to start the external program (RFC server) via the remote shell.

For more details on the TCP/IP settings, see the documentation BC – SAP Communication: Configuration .
