Graphical Description of Portal BI Connectivity

The communication always starts with the Portal talking to the AS ABAP and then AS ABAP communicates with AS JAVA and the AS JAVA communicates with AS ABAP if necessary. The AS JAVA then communicates with BEx tools to execute the template or report back on the Portal. Follow these steps to analyze your current situation and based on that, research on these Notes to fix your connectivity issues: 989525,573284, 917950, 937697, 944370, and 916090.


Note 1: Run Report RSPOR_SETUP which will give a complete story of the connections between the Portal and the AS ABAP. Also create a SAP Transaction iView and test the connectivity.
Note 2: Note 989525 > open WAD > Validate on server function > if no error occurs, then the java connection with the WAD is working fine!
Note 3: run the RS_TEMPLATE_MAINTAIN_70 and a notepad with text should appear. If an empty WordPad appears the JAVA and ABAP are not communicating.
