SNC and SAPUILandscape.xml - Anything to consider?

[Former Member]

Hi Experts,

is there anything to consider after switching from saplogon.ini to the new SAPUILandscape.xml concept?

We do have a customer using BEX-Analyzer. Since moving from SAPGui 730 (saplogon.ini) to SAPGui 740 (SAPUILandscape.xml) he faced issues when using SNC protected GUI-entry using BEX-Analyzer.

SAPGui is working fine with SSO.

Error is like this:

Any idea, what this error means?

Using the same with SAPGui 730 works fine.

I will be able to figure this out onsite tomorrow, any help appreciated

Thanks,

Carsten

PS: Port 4800 is blocked by Firewall. It was never open before and the same does work with SAPGui 730

Hi Carsten,

SAP corrected a bug with 7.40.

BEx uses RFC. Insecure RFC port is 33xx, secure (SNC based) RFC port is 48xx. For a long time Bex used insecure port 33xx for SNC based RFC connection.

This was corrected but does not seem to be well documented.

So the correct solution is: Open port 48xx in your firewalls and add it to saprouttabs if necessary.

Regards,

Lutz
