Getting started with the SAP Netweaver Gateway Service Consumption System

Welcome to sign up for the SAP Netweaver Gateway Service Consumption System. If you feel comfortable with handling an SAP ERP System feel free to jump immediately to the sign up below. We do however suggest that before doing so you take the time to read this document as it will not only give you the information on how to connect but also other valuable information you might need when using the system.

 

Where do I sign up?

To get started follow this link to the sign up form. When you sign up the form will take your SCN data as user data. The form also asks you to agree to the EULA. Once you have done that an email will be send to the email address that SCN has on file for your user with your logon information. Please make sure that the email address displayed is a valid email address for you if it is not please update your email address in your SCN profile before registering to the system.

 

How do I connect to the system?

Minutes after you registered to the system you should receive an email with your username and password. Once you have that the fastest way to change your initial password is by using the WebGUI. The WebGui for the system is located at https://sapes1.sapdevcenter.com/webgui. The WebGui is also the simplest way to connect to the system and navigate around in it. It is best to use Microsoft Internet Explorer for WebGui although Firefox and Safari should work fine too. We do however advice against using Google Chrome as we have seen things not working.

If you happen to have SAP Gui Windows or Java version you do however also have the option of creating a connection to the system in there. At this point we do not have an option of giving SAP Gui to you should you not have the rights to download it from SAP Service Marketplace. The connection information for SAP Gui to the system is as follows:

 

Application Server: lvpal259.dmzpal.sap.corp

Instance Number: 00

SystemID: ES1

SAPRouterString: /H/erpgw.sapdevcenter.com/S/3299/H/

 

 

What can I do with the System?

The main purpose of the system is to learn about consuming SAP Netweaver Gateway Services. All URL's to Gateway for this system start with

 

https : //sapes1.sapdevcenter.com/sap/opu..

 

Please have a look at the Sample Services and how to use them. The system is only for consumption of OData Services not for building new ones. If you are interested in building new services you have the option of choosing one of the other systems on the previous entry page. We will not hand out authorizations for developing any ABAP on this system.

 

What is on the System?

The System is an SAP ECC (Enterprise Core Components) filled with some Demo Data. You do have read and write authorizations to all modules but are restricted form accessing administrative functionality. Furthermore the system allows you to access the development tools but does not allow development itself. Debugging with viewing permissions is however possible.

 

If I need help

If you have a question about Gateway feel free to post a message in the forum.  Please also consider subscribing to the Operations Announcement Document where we will post information on the status of the system. In the future we are going to compile an FAQ, but for now we put the most pressing things into this document.

 

If I forgot my username or password

Go back to the sign-up form. The form will find you in the system and allow you to reset your user. Once your user is reset you will get an email confirming that the password has been reset.
