I have uploaded the file to my dropbox space now, so the link should remain valid, remember to read the "Readme" file carefully. You should not be creating a seperate folder for the SAP NW RFC files inside the BIN folder, you are supposed to copy the files from the extraced "SAP_NW_RFC" folder, in other words all the files within that new folder. Then put those files into the BIN folder, do not create a folder inside the BIN folder. https://www.dropbox.com/s/d2krzbass1sgcco/SAP_NW_RFC.zip?dl=0

    Hi there, that looks like an incorrect configuration on the connection while trying to connect to SAP BW.

    Please ensure you are using the correct details.  You can also try to add the FQDN (Fully Qualified Domain Name) behind the server / hostname, eg:  Instead of just using SAPBW01 as your hostname, you would use SAPBW.microsoft.com

     

    Just as an example ^^

    If you could, please add me on Skype then I can try and guide you through it.  Please just do not call / video call, use only Instant Messaging as I am in meetings most of my day, every day.  But I do have my Skype open.   Skype ID:   [email protected]

      is it still due to incorrect configuration?  I  tried adding you in skype, bad luck. :smileyfrustrated:

        Hi again, please supply me with your Skype ID so that I can add you from my side. It could be one of two issues; (1) Misconfiguration on your connection parametres, (2) The application is being blocked on the SAP BW Gateway. Do you have an on-site SAP BASIS team who maintains your SAP BW Environment? I can guide you through the technical stuff, but would prefer to do so on Skype due to the security risks involved with just posting all your server information on the net ;)
