How to set-up and open a REMOTE SERVICE CONNECTION WITH SAP
- Set-up a remote network connection to SAP.
- Install SAP router on a Windows machine.
- Install SAPCRYPTOLIB on the same machine.
- Check the saprouttab file : a) you should have only one in your system and b) it should look like this:
P 10.1.1.* 194.117.106.129 *
P 10.1.1.* 194.117.106.130 *
P 194.117.106.129 10.1.1.61 3200
