Create backend system for SAP Portal

zhangli-s

　　Backend systems which connected to SAP portal can be created as a system object in System Administration –> System Configuration –> System Landscape.
　　
　　New a system object based on template.

　　
　　There are three critical groups of parameters you need to maintain for this newly created system object:
　　1. WAS Parameters: you need to maintain the Web AS host name(or IP address) together with the ICF port number: <host name>:<ICF port>

　　you can find the port number by logging into the ABAP backend –> SICF –> select one service and then test the service from context menu. The port is then displayed in the URL address.
　　
　　2. ITS Parameters:
　　you need to maintain the ITS host name and protocol(http or https) here. ITS host name is in the same format as WAS: <host name>: <ICF port>.  

　　3. Connector
　　Specify some system level parameters here.

　　
　　Last step, donot forget to create an alias for the newly created system object.

　　
　　When above steps are done, proceed to the connect tests. The WAS test and ITS test will pass while connector test will fail.

　　For connector test, single sign on is needed. After configure SSO for portal and backend, test will pass.
