What happened to the ESA Preview System?

[Former Member]

Last week the ESA Preview System forum stated that access had been suspended. Today I cannot even access the forum to get an understanding of what is going on. Anyone have an idea?

Still no notification of access to the ESA preview system.

Thanks Kaj, I have again submitted a request for access to the Preview system last Friday. I have not yet received any notification. What should I be looking for, an email?

Here is an update: The access to the forum for the ESA Preview System has been restricted to people who actually work on the preview system, i.e. people who have applied for access and been given a user name and password. If you have previously been using the forum without working on the systems, you may want to consider applying for access and starting a little project to develop some cool UI or composite application against the ESA Preview System - And give us feedback on the services using the forum!

Thanks Kaj, that explains it. Ironically I had requested access weeks ago and never received any kind of reply. That was the reason that I was monitoring the Preview Forum for updated infomation. The last message I recall was that requests for access had been suspended. Perhaps I should try to request access again. Maybe you can help me out on your side in getting access to the preview system? Thanks.

Sorry, we had some process problems initially, but the processing works smoothly now, so please resubmit your request, if you don't mind.

Hi Steve,

That is strange - The system is up and running. I just tried it and I can access the forum, the solution maps, and the ERP system (FT2) from both within the SAP network and from outside of the SAP network. We will look into this immediately. Can it be that something on your side has changed? Does anybody else have this problem?

Steve,

To add to Kaj's comments, please verify that the following is done:

"To take full advantage of the ESA Preview System you need to make sure you can access all of the URL's from your company network. This especially means you need to have access to the following network ports: 80 and 50001"

Ciao.
