Hello experts,

Is possible to access the SAP Portal By mentioning the IP address in the URL without configuring the Hosts file?

Please suggest me.

Hallo,

Webdynpro for abap and BSP's are running in the application server in abap and not in portal. You access the portal with ip address and port number of the portal running in Java stack.

If you want to access your WDA/BSP through the portal then you need to create a system configuration pointing the r3 system and port number.

Create a iView and refer the wda application ,configuration and system alias . Then only it will work.

Hello Baskaran,

I done all the procedure already as you said and it was working well. If I remove the IP and Domain in host file then it does not working. Any suggestion related this?

Hallo Stars,

As i said already that i do not have all the ip address configured in my pc to access the portal. It is working fine. My understanding is that in the network , DNS configuration plays a role in it to resolve the IP to reach the specific destination in your network.

Refer the link i already gave you , consult with your IS team how to set up the DNS.

Hello Baskaran,

Thanks for your frequent response. I didnu2019t configure the DNS. If I configure DNS now then it will affects the SAP installation. Please suggest me.

Thanks.

Hallo Stars,

I am not able to understand the relation between the configuring DNS and affecting SAP installation. If you do not want to do the host file change or DNS configuration, i wonder how could your url request with Ip adress and port knows the physical server to reach.

Anyways it is going beyond Webdynpro-ABAP forum to the Networking,systems area. I request Moderators to replace this to appropriate forum.

Hello Baskaran,

I discussed with basis peoples. They said that if we configure DNS after SAP installation then SAP system gets some problem.

That is the reason I asked you for my clarification. Any suggestion related to this.

Thanks.
