Hello colleagues,
I am trying to get the CAL Image for SolMan 7.2 to work, but I am having some problems connection via the SAP Logon from my local PC.
Firstly, the system seems to run fine because when I connect via the Remote Desktop (SAP Frontend) I can logon to the SolMan system without any issues. What seems strange is that I cannot ping neither the ABAP External IP Address or the SAP Frontend External IP Address from my local PC (although I can connect to the WTS from my local PC). I have turned off my antivirus program and turned off windows firewall. I am using a private PC with non-corporate internet.
When I use the connect functionality from the CAL interface, I can download a SAP short cut to my local PC. Using this SAP short cut I can actually logon from my local PC to the SAP system.
I can see which IP address the short cut is using and it is the ABAP External IP Address which is mentioned in the CAL interface. I don't understand why I cannot logon to the SAP system when I use this exact IP address and add it manually to my SAP Logon on my local PC.
Any ideas?
Probably related to the above issue, once I am logged in to the SAP system on my local PC via the SAP shortcut, I cannot use any http applications even though I have added the IP and hostname to my local PC's hosts file. I even tried changing the host in the URL manually to the ABAP External IP Address but still no success... From the Remote Desktop http connections are working just fine.
Any help is much appreciated!
Kind Regards,
Philipp
