Failed to get container children for /DATASTORE

[RichT]

Hi All,

I have setup a successful connection to BW/4HANA in Connection Management and I wanted to use the Datastore objects. When I use the connection in Modeler or Metadata Explorer I can view the objects in the paths Infoprovider and Query but if I navigate and select Datastore I get the following error.

Failed to get container children for /DATASTORE.

flowagent-10000

guid:84f495c7-e3b0-4334-8017-1ed99fc52d80

Error during communication with the BW backend: Server returned HTTP response code: 403 for URL: hostname/sap/bw4/v1/catalog/datatargets

I have looked in BW and path it's trying to get to doesn't exist (v1/catalog/datatargets) any ideas?

Thanks,

RIch

Hello Richard,

HTTP error 403 means resource http://host:port/sap/bw4/v1/catalog/datatargets is forbidden.

You can try to see if you get same error using curl: curl -vvik --user"username":"password" https://host:port/sap/bw4/v1/catalog/datatargets (you need to use https if you execute the curl request from your network)

It seems to be an issue with one of the BW services that is used for SAP DI to access BW metadata, so please explore below paths:

Hope this helps,

Thanks Jacob.

We're using BW/4HANA 2021, do you if the note is applicable to this version as I can find references up to BW/4HANA 2.0?

Thanks,

Rich
