Troubleshooting SAP Web IDE Destination Issues

Introduction

When experiencing destination connectivity problems, please follow the noted steps and include the results in your post.

Using Google Chrome clear the cache of your browser and reopen it. Open Web IDE and prior to replicating your issue open the javascript console, if you are unsure about how to do, this steps can be found here.

Using one of the templates, File -> New -> Project From Template, provide the necessary information up to the point of where you select your destination. You may want to clear the console prior to selecting the destination, check the link for the steps. After selecting the destination you should see an error displayed in the console. Right click on the link in the console and choose Open link in New Tab.

At this point you should see an error within the browser window. Provide this, your destination configuration and your HANA Cloud Connector configuration.

Common Errors…

Error: Cannot open tunnel with id account:///<USER ID>trial

Cause: Most likely the HANA Cloud connected is not connected or not running.

Error: Unable to open connection to backend system

Cause: Check the Internal Host name in the Cloud Connector

Error: Connection reset by peer

Cause: Check the protocol of the backend system in the Cloud Connector

Error: Access denied to resource /sap/opu/odata/IWFND/CATALOGSERVICE/$metadata on system…

Cause: Check the URL Path or Access Policy of the “Resources Accessible” of the connection in the Cloud Connector

Error: HTTP Status 500 – Could not connect to remote host

Cause: The destination url can not be accessed, maybe a typo or an incorrect Proxy Type

Error: Astaro Security Gateway….

Cause: Check the Proxy Type of the destination

Hi Deepti,

You need to install the Microsoft Visual Studio C++ 2010 runtime libraries which is the Visual C++ redistributable, not Visual Studio.

Hi Jamie,

I did that.As the next thing when I try to run the SAP HANA Colud connector it is showing the following popup.

I am trying to upload the image somehow it is not taking. but the message it says is

Microsoft Visual Studio C++ 2010 SP1 redistributable is not installed.

Hi Jamie,

I am trying to access SAP Web IDE using SAP HANA Cloud Platform account through subscription link for webide.

It gives me application url as

https://webide-p##########trial.dispatcher.hanatrial.ondemand.com

while going to this link, access denied error is coming :_

"HTTP Status 403 - You are not authorized to access this resource"

Please suggest what steps are missed in this configuration.

It's kind of a hack solution but try to set the WebIDEPermission to "Everyone" in the cockpit

Nico Sauter

Hy Jamie,

I have managed to configure everything correctly (Cloud Connector and corresponding destination) in order to use an ODATA service from an ABAP Backend system. For the data connection, it looks like the Web IDE automatically tries to connect to the first available client of that system (001 in my case)? Is there any chance to specify which client the Web IDE will connect to?

Regards,

Nico

Nico Sauter

April 24, 2015 at 12:14 pm

Found the answer myself 😉

You will need to add an additional property in your destination called "sap-client".

Jarl Jansen

April 30, 2015 at 9:42 am

Hi Nico,

i face same problem and already added additional property "sap-client" to destination. It doesn't work.

In Web-IDE when you choose New Project from Template ... Choose Data Connection ... where you choose your destination, i get the following error in the java-script console:

GET https://webide-<removed>.dispatcher.hanatrial.ondemand.com/destinations/FD0/sap/opu/odata/IWFND/CATALOGSERVICE;v=2/$metadata 403 (Forbidden)

When i test the given link, i get the error

Access denied to system <removed>. In case this was a valid request, ensure to expose the system correctly in your SAP HANA Cloud connector.

It's an OnPremise system.

When i test it on HANA Cloud connector, everything is fine.

If sap-client would work, everything would be fine. It seems that sap-client is ignored because there is another "default" mandant where i get this error message.

Any ideas why sap-client is ignored or something i could have make wrong ?

Jarl

Hi,

I have performed a local installation of WebIDE (1.8.4) and created a new destination file under the directory "C:\SAPWebIDE\eclipse\config_master\service.destinations\destinations" named NorthWind. Here are the content

Name=Northwind

Type=HTTP

Description=Northwind OData Service

URL=http\://services.odata.org

Authentication=NoAuthentication

WebIDEEnabled=true

WebIDESystem=Northwind

WebIDEUsage=odata_gen

But this connection doesn't appear in the Data Connection screen - doesn't matter which ever application type I choose to create a new project from template from.

Please help!

Thanks in advance

Hi Yogesh,

Do you have any destination configured? Perhaps it's configured as HTTP and it should be configured as HTTPS? Just a thought from looking at the console error.

Michal.

Hi Yogesh,

You need to change all "RDE" to "WebIDE" in your properties (it's case sensitive), i.e. WebIDEEnabled.

See this blog for more info: How to use Northwind OData service with SAP Web IDE

Michal Keidar

May 28, 2015 at 6:12 am

Also I see in the console several errors regarding the factsheet plugin, are you using it?

Maybe you can try adding this parameter to the url of Web IDE: settings=ignore

and see if it helps.

Hi,

should direct access work for the WEB IDE, too?!

When trying: https://rde-fiori.dispatcher.neo.ondemand.com/index.html from outside SAP network I get a "ERR_CONNECTION_TIMED_OUT" on the index.html.

I would assume that a WEB IDE on public address should work. Instead I don't get even index.html loaded or get any error message fom the IDE back.

It would be realy cool if we can get this working from remote place without logging into SAP Network for Win8.1 devices such as any .corp address (or JAM) is working now on Win8.1.

Best regards

Eckard.

Michal Keidar

You can get a trial account on SAP HANA Cloud Platform and you'll get a Web IDE available outside the SAP network. Use SAP HANA Cloud Connector if you wish to connect to internal backend systems

Setup your SAP Web IDE on HANA Cloud Platform Part 1

I am facing the following problem :

Setup : HCP with HANA Cloud Connector and R/3 back-end system.

Configured destination in the cockpit and when performing 'Check Connection', I get a success message.

However, when opening the WebIDE console gives me following message :

Destination 'R3_2' is either not a Web IDE destination or not valid because the WebIDEUsage or URL properties are missing in the destination settings.

Check your destination settings in the SAP HANA Cloud Platform Cockpit.

Importing applications (FIORI) from back-end (was) working, but when executing, the flower icon kept turning or another error message was displayed.

Connection type is internet/HTTP with following properties

sap-client 500

WebIDEEnabled true

WebIDESystem RCK

WebIDEUsage dev_abap,ui5_execute_abap,bsp_execute_abap,dev_gen,odata_abap

Any ideas ?

Michal Keidar

January 4, 2016 at 8:01 am

Are you sure there's such a WebIDEUsage called dev_gen?

I'm not familiar with it and it's not showing in the documentation: SAP Web IDE Developer Guide

Try to remove it and see what happens.

Regards,
Michal.

Jan De Rijck

January 4, 2016 at 7:09 pm

Thank you Michal,

This indeed was a problem.

Now the import of for example the HCM_EMPLOYEE_LOOKUP_SRV odata service from back-end is working.

When executing this as a 'SAP Fiori Component on Sandbox', i receive the pop-up for user and password of my back-end development system.

Next, I get the Fiori flower icon which keeps on turning and saying 'App-view'. Nothing else happens. Any ideas ?

I can call the https://xx.xx.xx.xx:8000/sap/opu/odata/sap/HCM_EMPLOYEE_LOOKUP_SRV/?$format=xml

service, which returns an xml.

I also think you cannot run it as web service since it does not have the required file.

followed by other error messages

As per one of the solutions in other threads I had added the below two parameters in the to avoid the above to messages model.js

sap.ui.define([

"sap/ui/model/json/JSONModel",

"sap/ui/Device"

], function (JSONModel, Device) {

"use strict";

createDeviceModel : function () {

var oModel = new JSONModel(Device);

oModel.setDefaultBindingMode("OneWay");

oModel.useBatch = false;

oModel.disableHeadRequestForToken = true;

return oModel;

}

};

}

);

			oModel.useBatch = false;
			oModel.disableHeadRequestForToken = true;

Even after adding the above parameters the issue is not resolved .

I am getting the below error now.
