On our windows platform we define SAP services in the c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\service file. For example:
SAPMSPRD 3606/TCP
Then in the SAPUILandscape.XML we define the message server as follows:
<Messageserver uuid="00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000088" name="PRD" host="server.xyz.com" port="SAPMSPRD"/>
and the Service as follows:
<Service type="SAPGUI" uuid="21000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000088" name="Production" systemid="PRD" msid="00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000088" server="Public" sapcpg="1100" dcpg="2" wan="0"/>
When trying to launch the application on the Mac OSx (version 10.10.3) the service SAPMSPRD is not found and the opening of the SAP GUI for systemid PRD fails. If SAPMSPRD is replaced with 3606 directly it works, however, we are trying to 'share' this XML between the two Operating systems (PC and Mac).
How do we define the service SAPMSPRD on the Mac OS 10.10.3 ?
