NWDI Track Import Issue in NW 7.3 EHP 1

Former Member

Hello,

I am using SAP NetWeaver Developer Studio (v 7.3 EHP1 SP06 PAT0004) to work on ESS/MSS Business Packages.

We have a track on similar (and compatible) version and the SLD URL has been provided in the NWDS settings. I tried the following URLs for SLD in the NWDS (Windows->Preferences->DI->SLD):

Ping to this SLD server is successful and I can even launch the SLD URL in a web browser. However, when I try to import the development configuration, I face the following exception in the import wizard.

Unable to open connection to host <host name>:50,000 [The IP address of the host could not be resolved. Maybe the URL is misspelled or the host does no longer exist]

To my notice, I observed that the <host name> mentioned in the above exception is not exactly the same that I used in NWDS configuration. The host name in NWDS is a FQDN (Fully qualified domain name) whereas in the exception it only is the host name (no domain name).

Would appreciate quick help. Points will surely be rewarded for helpful answers.

Thanks,

Kunal

Hello Kunal,

Go to Window -> Properties -> Development Infrastructure -> System Landscape Directory and enter the full url exactly as it is in the browser that you successfully open. Otherwise as Mr. Jun Wu wrote - add two records in the host file (Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts)

ip <FQDN>

ip <the host name - as in exception>

as in example:

127.0.0.1       localhost

Bingo!

I knew this has got something to do with the host file entry.

I had a host file entry but it was with the FQDN. I missed the second entry (host name as in exception). This is solved. Thanks a ton!

just add one entry to your host file

ip hostname
