Question:
Hi,
After I update my window XP, I can not login in to my BW system, the error message shows "service'sapdp00' unknown" my SAPGUI is release 620 version 36. anybody know how to fix this?
Answer:
The entry is missing in the Services file (Windows)
You can find the file under c:\Windows\system32\drivers\etc\services
The file doesn't have any extension but you can edit it with Notepad
The entry you should have is something like this :
sapdp00 3200/tcp
Answer:

Answer:

sapdp00 3200/tcp
sapdp01 3201/tcp
sapdp02 3202/tcp
sapdp03 3203/tcp
sapdp04 3204/tcp

Based on this, I'd say that there is then a Registry problem
Could be the reason why it doesn't find the Services file entry and thus, cannot connect
Open the Registry (start>Execute then fill in Registry and press Enter)
Browse to :
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > SYSTEM > CurrentControlSet > Services > Tcpip > Parameters
Check that the following key exists :
Key : DataBasePath
Type : REG_EXPAND_SZ
Value : %SystemRoot%\system32\drivers\etc
Do the same for other ControlSet if any (ControlSet001, ControlSet002, etc.)
Hope that it helps
