unable to access the selected system

[Former Member]

Hi,

I am having issues connecting to a backend SAP Gateway system while creating a "service replacement" extension. I am able to export the standard SAP Fiori application form the ABAP repository and create an extension project (which confirms that my link to the backend system is established and working). However I am unable to browse the backend services through teh extension wizard...

What I noticed in the Developer tools is that WebIDE is trying to call what seems to be an incomplete service name when trying to retrieve an invintory of services from SAP Gateway.

Should it not be calling something like "/sap/opu/odata/IWFND/CATALOGSERVICE/$metadata" in stead of "/sap/opu/odata/$metadata"

Has anyone else encountered the same issue?

Sergio Ive experienced this issue before. I tinkered with a number of things and got it working in the end.

Few things you can try which might help.

• In your Destinations tab in your cloud cockpit check that you have the below additional options. Delete anything else you might have.

• Use the IP address in your Cloud Connector instead of hostname
• Delete the /sap/bc/bsp resource in Cloud Connector
• Enable the HANA Cloud Connector Service in your cockpit.

Hope this fixes your issues.

Hi.

Thanks Jared..

I had maintained a property:

WebIDEAdditionalData - api_mgmt,full_url

Once I deleted this I was able to browse the service repository again..

Hi Sergio,

Thanks for this info, we will check why adding this usage causes this issue.

Thanks,
Michal.

Hi,

It seems like the problem isn't in the WebIDEAdditionalData itself, but in the value - which includes 'full_url'. In this case, the service URL is taken from the "URL" field of the destination.

Please validate that "URL" field in the destination (in the cockpit) is the proper URL of the service.

Gadi

Hi Sergio,

Does this happen only in the service replacement step or also when you try to create an application from template?

When you go to File -> New -> Project from template -> Select the first tile (which is already selected) -> Next -> give a project name -> Next

Hi Michal,

It happens every try to create a service replacement extension. All other wizards work fine.

very bizarre

Hi Former Member ,

Is this still happening for you? Is Jared's proposal below helpful?

Michal.

Hello Sergio,

to which resources you have granted access within the Cloud Connector configuration and how did you set up your destination ZFD (e.g. did you set the property "odata_abap")?

Hi Florian

Here are some more screenshots that may help.

Cloud Connector Resources

Hana Cloud Destinations Parameters:

WebIDEUsage : odata_abap,dev_abap,ui5_execute_abap

sap-client : 100

WebIDEAdditionalData : api_mgmt,full_url

WebIDEEnabled : true

WebIDESystem : ZFD

So far it looks everything ok (ok, I think you do not need the API Management properties, but they should not have a negative effect).

Did you check, that you have set the Proxy Type in the destination to OnPremise and that you have set the correct Cloud Connector version? What authentication method do you use (if "Basic", did you re-check your username and pwd)?

Hi Florian.

Thanks for your help so far.

I am using cloud connector version 2.6.1.1 (i believe this is the latest as i downloaded it on Monday).

Proxy type is OnPremise and credentials are correct... Like i said, am able to do everything else (import projects, test applications, deploy applications etc) except browsing service repository when creating a "service replacement" extension...

To get around this I am manually coding the service name in the Component.js file.

Does this work for you??

Hey Serg,

Out of interest, are you able to try with a previous version of the Cloud Connector?

Cheers,

G.

Yes, for me it is working (tested it yesterday evening with Web IDE 1.13.6).

Really strange, that it does not work in your case.
