The Qlik SAP Connector or BEx/SQL Connector returns the following error:

ERROR service '?' unknown
TIME Sun Nov 13 TIMESTAMP
RELEASE 
COMPONENT NI (network interface)
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
