Local SAP WEB IDE connect to OData Destination on ABAP 7.5 Trial running on VirtualBox

4687 Views

Hello all.

Firstly I have a Trial 7.5 Netweaver ABAP sytem running on Linux via a Oracle Virtual Box. This works fine I can connect from Windows via the SAP Logon and run my Odata Services from Chrome.

This URL works to get the Catalog :

http://virtual_linux:8000/sap/opu/odata/iwfnd/CATALOGSERVICE/CatalogCollection

I have installed today a local copy of SAP WEB IDE and changed the port in Orion to be 9090. This all works fine.

When I setup a destination to my odata server as below and try and select it doesn't find the service Catalog and I get an error NPL Catalog Service is unavailable. Please Try Later.

When I look in Chrome developer tools I can see its going to localhost:9090 instead of the destination in my destination file URL as below :

http://localhost:9090/webidedispatcher/destinations/NPL/IWFND/CATALOGSERVICE;v=2/ServiceCollection?sap-client=001&$format=json 500 (Server Error)

Here is my Destination file :-

Description=NPL

Type=HTTP

TrustAll=true

Authentication=NoAuthentication

Name=NPL

ProxyType=Internet

URL=http\://127.0.0.1/:8000

WebIDEUsage=odata_abap,ui5_execute_abap,dev_abap

WebIDESystem=NPL

WebIDEEnabled=true

sap-client=001

And in my hosts file I have the IP pointing to my Virtual Box Server

127.0.0.1 Virtual_Linux

Any ideas what I'm doing wrong. I don't understand why WEB IDE is looking at localhost:9090 ????
