ICM_HTTP_CONNECTION_FAILED

[Former Member]

I established a H type RFC destination in SM59, which connect our R3 system to a XI system. The connection has following information:

target host: xidev

service number: 8000

path prefix: /sap/xi/engine?type=entry

Logon Procedure: SAP Standard

SSL: Inactive

I tested it in client 800, which is our business client, and I create the RFC in this client, it gave us a "ICM_HTTP_CONNECTION_FAILED", but if I test it in client 000, it give us a correct response.

While the client 800 gives "ICM_HTTP_CONNECTION_FAILED" prompt, I found following error in icm trace file:

[Thr 12112] *** WARNING => Connection request from (30/1496/0) to host: proxy, service: 8080 failed (NIEHOST_UNKNOWN)

RM-T30, U1496, 800 SHIPU, YiNing-PC, 15:55:05, M0, W0, SM59, 2/2 [icxxconn.c 2314]

Why there's a port 8080? our http port is 8000.

Anyone can help me?

Thanks in advance.

Hmm, you have an interesting problem.

SM59 is cross client, so if it works in 000, it should work in 800.

Unless it's due to authorization. It may be a long shot, try using ddic and run the test in 800.

if not run debug and find where it's getting the 8080 port number.

Good luck.

Hello Ying,

8080 is the alternative http port. Ignore it for now.

Give the complete host name along with domain name also.After this try the connection. Though I am surprsed that if it happening from 000 then it should also happen from 800.

kumar, the connection is to a abap stack, so I think 8000 is the right port.

Khushu, our XI do name have a full name with domain name.

Thanks for your help.

Dear Mr. Mao,

in the dev_icm trace i saw that connection test from C11 client 800

connects to host proxy and not to host xidev:

[Thr 5268] *** WARNING => Connection request from (29/1517/0) to host:

proxy, service: 8080 failed (NIEHOST_UNKNOWN)

RM-T29, U1517, 800 SAP_TEST, WDFD00102408A, 20:00:29, M0, W0, SM59, 3/2

[icxxconn.c 2314]

The reason was that in client 800 a proxy was defined

in transaction sicf -> press F8 button -> menue: client:proxy settings.

I unflagged the option 'proxy setting is active' and now it

is working.

Hello Mao ,

Did you check in SMICM -> Go To - > Services -> Active Services .

You will find there the active services with the port details .

Or else you can create the service with the required port 8080 or 8000 defination .

Regards ,
