VERSION
Environment:
Qlik SAP Connectors
Resolution:
- If you are passing through a message server, an entry may have to be added in the C:\Windows\system32\drivers\etc\services file. Add sapmsxxx 36nn/tcp, where xxx is the system ID and nn is the system number. If it is the last line in the file, add a new line break after the entry. Otherwise, you can install the SAP GUI
- If you are running a multi-node cluster, ensure that you installed SAP GUI on each of the nodes
- It may also appear that even following the two bullets above, you still get the error, it could also happened that you are connecting to the wrong SAP environment
