Error creating source systems

[Former Member]

Hi,

We have R/3 4.6C and BI7.0 in our landscape.

When i tried to create source system in BI to R.3 4.6C, its not able to create.

It giving error "RFC user logon failed". But all the RFC users password is correct and i have tested it.

I have created successfully with the same RFC user between BI and SRM.

Can anyone tell me what the problem could be and guide be in this regard.

Thanks and Regards,

Hi Sailesh,

Try with password in capital letters.

Thanks all,

I have solved this one.

Actually, R/4.6C doesnt differentiate between upper and lower case characters. But nw04s systems will differentiate. Thats the problem. So, i used the password all in caps. This solved it.

Hi,

We have the problem the other way around.

The source system is created in BI7.0 and remote connects fine.

The RFC created in R/3 4.6C does not remote logon. It prompts for username and password. When you give it the username and password you specified as the logon account for the RFC it connects... just not automatically.

We have checked the username and password and it is all OK. Any ideas?

Thanks.

Problem solved.

R/3 4.6C was sending the password in upper case, despite entering it in lower case.

Solution: changed the ALEREMOTE password in BI to be uppercase.

"Message "Name or password is incorrect (repeat logon)" appears when trying to log on to an SAP system, even when the password is known to be correct. You are trying to log on to an ERP2005 or higher using a set of SAPGui controls that cannot handle case-sensitive passwords. The SAPGui controls are converting the password you type to upper-case, even when the password is lower-case.

Change the user password to upper-case (from the initial SAPGui screen or from transaction SU01)."

Thanks anyway.

Hi Sailesh

Execute the following transaction and Click on the Partner Type LS Logical

System then verify the RFC User or try to put any other user and save it.

then try to create the source system and update us.

WE20 - Partner Profile

WE21 - Ports in IDOC Processing

Hi Sailesh,

Please delete the rfc and the user and then retry with transaction rsa1

Thanks and Regards
