Trouble setting up RFC Destination on XI Box

[Former Member]

Hello - I am following Manish Argawal's tutorial Beginners Guide to implementing XI. Any way when I try to set up my RFC destination on the XI box for the dev box using sm59 I keep getting the following error. Can anyone tell me what the problem is ?

ERROR service '?' unknown

Hi,

If you're trying to set an RFC on the XI box

I assume that you're trying to set it to send idocs

so... no better place than an XI SDN weblog by Ravikumar Allampallam:

Configuration steps required for posting idoc's(XI)

/people/ravikumar.allampallam/blog/2005/02/23/configuration-steps-required-for-posting-idocsxi

point 2 describes how to set RFC dest (sm59) to R3

Regards,

michal

Hi Andrew,

Check your "services" file on your XI-host.

Add lines like this:

sapgwXX 33XX/tcp

Were XX goes from 00 to 99.

sapgw00 3300/tcp

sapgw01 3301/tcp

....

....

sapgw99 3399/tcp
