  • 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
