How to connect EHS Expert Rule Editor to SAP EHS System for MSDS Maker

[former_member776322]

the MSDS maker requires the default.mdb containing all phrase sets and assigned phrases from the EHS System. The default.mdb can be created with the Expert Rule Editor when it is connected to the SAP system.

How do I connect the Rule Editor to the SAP System?

The Rule editor is installed on my customers' front end laptop. When I open the Rule editor I cannot get past the EH&S login window, as the destination needs to be configured in the saprfc.ini (attachment-1.png)

• Do I have to configure the saprfc.ini on the front end laptop in this directory? (attachment-2.png)
• How do I configure the saprfc.ini: what do I type in for "DEST" and "AHOST"? The explanation in the saprfc.ini to "DEST" refers to the name of the R/3 system. Where do I find that name? (attachment-3.png)
• I have also looked into the documentation of the MSDS Maker an rule editor and cannot find information on how to connect to the SAP system.

Thank you in advance

Hi Hoang,

Yes, you have to connect the rule editor on your front end with the SAP system. The location of SAPRFC.INI in your screenshot is correct.

The name of the system is the name you are using in the GUI to log on. Let's suppose your system is called EHD, client 100, and the application server has the address EHD001.sapsystem.abc.com. Then the entries in saprfc.ini should be:

/*entry for EHD(100)

DEST=EHD

TYPE=A

ASHOST=EHD001.sapsystem.abc.com

GWSERV=sapgw00

SYSNR=00

Best,

Ralph

Hello all,

thank you for the input so far.

Do I still input the same entries in the SAPRFC.ini if the SAP Logon uses the connection type "Group/ Server Selection" and an message server?

Best wishes
