Service connection types "BW RFC" and "BW GUI"

http://www.saptechies.org/service-connection-types-bw-rfc-and-bw-gui/
Due to problems with the Business Information Warehouse front end, SAP Service employees
have to access the customer system from the Business Explorer Analyzer directly.
Therefore, we ask you to open the following connection types:
BW RFC connection
BW GUI connection
Reason and Prerequisites
Since the Business Explorer Analyzer is implemented as an RFC client and some SAPGUI-based
dialogs are used simultaneously (at least in the current version), for the remote connection, you
must get past the firewall of the internal SAP router using valid passwords.
You have already set up a service connection for logon to the R/3 system in the Online Service
System.
Solution
By opening the "BW RFC" and "BW GUI" connection types, you can obtain passwords for the
RFC and GUI connection.
For general information about how to create and open service connections in the SAPNet - R/3
front end, see Note 31515.
The access via BW RFC and BW GUI must be released explicitly by the customer. To set up a
connection, you must carry out the following two steps:
1. Create the BW RFC and BW GUi service connection.
2. Check or extend the configuration file of the SAProuter to allow a remote access via these
service types.
In more detail:
Creating the BW RFC and BW GUI service connection
Log on to the Online Service System.
Choose 'Service'.
Choose 'Service connection'.
Double-click the system for which you want to set up the connection.
Expand the 'Service selection' entry.

Use the mouse to select the BW GUI connection entry (or BW RFC connection) and
choose 'Create/Open'.
In the following dialog box, specify a contact person and choose 'Save'.
(The procedure is described in more detail in Note 31515.)
Configuration file of the SAProuter
BW GUI connection (or BW RFC connection) uses the TCP/IP port 32XX (or 33XX).
This port must be released explicitly. The connections that are permitted when using the
respective ports are determined in a configuration file called 'saprouttab'.
If the BW system has, for example, instance number 02, the SAPROUTTAB table must
contain the following entries for BW GUI and BW RFC:
P <sapservX> <saprouter>
3299
P <sapservX> <target BW system> 3202
P <sapservX> <saprouter>
3399
P <sapservX> <target BW system> 3302

If you want to permit the connection of any server to any host (P = permit), you do not
have to make any further specifications and * can appear in the table, for example
P
P

*
*

P * * *
* 3399
* 3302
(If you use * for the port as well, only ports 3200 ... 3299 are released.)

See Note 37001 for the entries in the SAPROUTTAB table to ensure that the router
entries are adjusted in accordance with your internal security specifications.
