Testing System Connections 

Use

You use the System Connection Tests tool to verify that the current system is properly connected to the back-end application that it represents.

The three tests that you can perform are:

Connection Test for Connectors

This test checks the connection to non-SAP systems and consists of:

·        Retrieving the default alias of the system

·        Checking the connection, using the connector defined in the system

System Connection Test - ITS Connection

This test checks the connection to an SAP Internet Transaction Server and consists of:

·        Checking that the system object defines an SAP system

·        Validating the following parameters: wap.ITS.path; wap.ITS.protocol; wap.ITS.hostname

·        Checking the HTTP/S connection to the defined back-end application

System Connection Test - WAS Connection

This test checks the connection to an SAP Web Application Server and consists of:

·        Checking that the system object defines an SAP system

·        Validating the following parameters\: wap.WAS.protocol; wap.WAS.hostname

·        Checking the HTTP/S connection to the defined back-end application

Performing the Tests

To perform a connection test on a system, in the Portal Catalog right-click the system and choose Open ® Connection Tests.

In the System Connection Tests tool interface, mark the tests you want to perform and click Test.

·        The tool runs only the tests that are selected.

·        It is possible to run all three tests simultaneously, and receive results for each test.

·        Clear Results opens a new instance of the test in the same window.
