I have a local install of WAS. I configure JCo RFC provider on J2EE and and RFC on BW. The settings are fine for both.
1. I start J2EE using SAPMMC. All processes are running in about 10 minutes
2. I connect to the network where BW system resides
3. I test the J2EE RFC in BW and get 'program not registered'
4. I connect to Visual Administrator and stop and start the JCo RFC provider
5. I test the J2EE RFC in BW again and the test is successful. I am even able to create a UDC source system using a system defined in system landscape of LOCAL portal. So I successfully integrated portal to BI.
6. However Visual Administrator now hangs and accessing the portal through URL http://<host>:<port>/irj now also hangs
7. By the way I also tried doing step (2) before (1) so that I didn't have to stop/start JCo RFC in VA, but after over 30 minutes not all processes were running and I got tired of waiting.
Anyone know why VA and portal are now hanging?
