How to find the IP address of a SAP system
Scenario – You wish to connect to your SAP system from a remote connection, you require your SAP system IP address and port.
Option 1 – There are a few methods to discover the IP address of a system the easiest being to simply use the menu path:
System–>Status–> then press (SHIFT+F5) –> You will see your current systems IP address under the System Information.
Option 2 – Alternativly you may use SM59 then select R/3 connections and double click on the system (RFC destination), then select the menu path:
System Information–>Target System –> You will see the target systems IP address under the “Network address”.
So which system is connected?
I work on a large landscape of 110 SAP systems (not clients). Every now and then someone asks if a specific system is connected to another, there is no way I can remember which systems are connected. Depending on what system they are referring to one may be able to execute a system specific transaction. However as a dependable alternative one may simply use SM59 and view the connected systems.
Here you can view the following connections:
- R/3 connections
- HTTP Connections to R/3 System
- Internal connections
- Logical destinations
- TCP/IP connections
- Connections via ABAP/4 driver
Tip – Depending on your settings (If the logon data is saved on the Logon/security tab) you may even be able to login to a connected system remotely from within SM59, simply select the R/3 connection and selecting “Remote logon” button.
