I am working with NW ECC 6.0 Ehp4, 701 Kernel patch Number 161, SAP-BASIS Component: SAPKB70106, SAP GUI 7.20 patch 10.

Used t-code sm30. Modified table SSM_CUST and added SESS_URL pointing to an internal Wintel Server. It's supposed to be that simple but apparently I am not seeing a critical step.
