We had the same problem in the beginning, our solution was to use the full qualified name of the server

[host]:8003 -> [host].[domain]:8003

I can't remember we our error was the same but it sounds like the same problem.

Thanks for the reply Craig but our server is not in any domain. Its is in a workgroup.How to resolve domain issue under that case ?

Do you have any idea where it takes HTTP port 8003(in your case). For me i have manually given it port 8000 under SE80 -->utilities -->settings because in properties it was not showing any port in URL before. THE url was like

http://host/sap/bc.

When we installed we choose 8003 (I think) now you've got me thinking.

Try the OSS notes Brian mentioned.

Hi Brian

I have gone through the OSS notes and i should say they are really worth reading.

But my problem is that my server is not in any domain. So i think i cannot apply them. What do you say ?

Thanks n Regards

After reading through Brian's weblogs and the notes he refers us to, I learnt that the server does not need to be in a domain, it just needs to be able to be address with such a name.

The way I got around it was to edit my PC's hosts file to include a line like:

10.10.0.1 bt4.btlab.com

Where the IP address is bound to the Microsoft Loopback Adapter, bt4 is the name of my computer and btlab.com is a domain that I made up. I also changed the system's profile parameter (referred to in the OSS notes) to indicate what the FQDN was.

Hi Scott

I cannot create a domain as u did because pc is a test production system and i cannot take a downtime...

Few minutes ago i added the entry in hosts file with a imaginary domain and made same entry in profile parameter FQDN but when i restarted the sap services for changes to take place dispatcher died and i couldn't get the system up so i reverted all the changes. It sounds funny but i m myself amazed how tat happened.

> What do you say ?

That a little bit of work is still required here. As you write that you don't want to restart application server, and this is only a test server, let me make a suggestion.

Do <u><b>NOT</b></u> change anything on the WebAS server.

<u>Step 1:</u> Find you hosts file (on my machine it is c:\winnt\system32\drivers\etc\hosts) and add the following line into this file.


1.2.3.4	myWebAS.domain.ext myWebAS

The name is not important, but must be a string you will remember. The 1.2.3.4 is the IP address of your WebAS. Please write in the correct value instead of my example value!

<u>Step 2:</u> Start you BSP application as usual. When the popup comes for your password, press cancel. You will now see in the top of the browser some URL of the form: http://myWebAS:port/sap/. The :port is only there if you are not using the default port 80. Now manually change the URL by adding the domain you configured previously. It should now be: http://myWebAS.domain.ext:port/sap/. Press ENTER to load this URL.

This way you are using a FQDN, and the browser is able to resolve this pseudo name onto the correct IP address. The WebAS/BSP will be happy with this.

Not the most satisfactory solution, but it should get you at least on the road.
