Procedure documentationConfiguring the IGS for ABAP-based Front-End Technology

 

If you use any ABAP-based front end technology (for example BSP, Web Dynpro ABAP, BEx Web Reporting, SAPGUI for HTML etc), you have to create an RFC destination in the SAP system to connect the IGS to the SAP system.

Procedure

For the integrated IGS version

The necessary RFC destinations GFW_ITS_RFC_DEST and IGS_RFC_DEST are created automatically. The program ID is IGS.<SAPSYSTEMNAME> where SAPSYSTEMNAME is the name of your system.

For the standalone IGS

You have to create the RFC destinations in the SAP system as follows:

  1. Call transaction SM59.

  2. Select Create to create a new RFC destination.

  3. Specify GFW_ITS_RFC_DEST and IGS_RFC_DEST as the RFC destinations.

  4. Specify T for TCP/IP as the Connection type.

  5. Enter a text as documentation (otherwise you cannot save your entry) and save your entries.

  6. On the tab Technical Settings, choose Registered server program.

  7. Specify the program ID for the Win32 standalone IGS 7.20 as destination:

The program ID (IGS.xxx.xxx.xxx) is the same as what is specified in the IGSProfile.pf file. It is recommended to use the IGS abbreviation and then the IGS server's IP address. That is a useful reminder as to where the IGS is running.

Caution Caution

The program ID is case sensitive!

Do NOT select 2-byte destinations in Unicode systems.

End of the caution.

  1. Enter the Enqueue server name of the SAP system as gateway host. The Enqueue server is where the main instance is running.

  2. Enter the gateway service: This is the string sapgw with the system number as a suffix.

Caution Caution

Program ID, host and gateway must be identical in the SAP system and the IGS in order to be able to establish a connection

End of the caution.

  1. Test the RFC destination using the button Test Connection.
