Ariba Network Integration for SAP Business Suite – Connectivity test
Here is a visual guide to quickly test the connectivity between an SAP ECC system and the Ariba Network, when planning to use Direct Connectivity. I found this was an easy way to discover connectivity issues early on, when implementing the SAP Business .
Mediated Connectivity using SAP PI as the mediator and will be a part of a different post.
- Import the Ariba Network Server certificate – STRUST
- Export the certificate from https://buyer.ariba.com using internet explorer (click on the lock icon, details tab, export. Save as Base-64, X509)
- Import in tr. STRUST under node SSL System Client SSL Client (Anonymous)
- And Click the save button
- Make sure the HTTPS service is active -> tr. SMICM
- Click the Services button
- Menu: Service -> Create
- Fill in the HTTPS configuration
- Create the RFC connection – SM59
- Test the RFC Connection – SM59
- Open the created connection in step 3
- Click Connection Test
- Expect the HTTP 200 response
- Troubleshooting
- Restart the ICM -> tr. SMICM, Menu: Administration -> ICM -> Restart -> Yes
- Check the network firewall rules
