This Blog gives everyone a step by step method of creating a system in a Enterprise Portal 7.1 .This system can then be used in Visual Composer 7.1 for getting the bapi’s.

System Requirements

This is for SAP NetWeaver CE 7.1 SR3.

Adobe SVGView and MSXML Parser on the Client side where Visual Composer is to be run.

Creating a Portal System for BAPI/RFC

First of all you have to decide which system you need. Do you need a "SAP system using dedicated application server" or "SAP system with load balancing"?

If you are not sure, which system do you need then ask your basis administrator. As a rough guide you can say that you use, "SAP system with load balancing” when you have more than one application servers. I think in most cases you have only one application server for your development so you usually use “SAP system using dedicated application server“. I explain the settings for Dedicated Application Server.

Creating a SAP system with dedicated application server for BAPI/RFC

Go to [http://<host>:<port>/nwa | http://<host>:<port>/nwa] Login as Administrator.

Select no for load balancing (As we are creating dedicated application server).

 The different properties on the page are explained below

Don't check this box if your server doesn't reside on the same system.

SAP System ID (SID)

Here you have to enter your SAP System ID, e.g. for me it was ER1
