Hello experts,
1. We have NWDI track configured to connect one external-SAP portal system in DMZ zone, as runtime system, through 5NN04 (P4) port.
When we try to import (SDM deploy) any component from NWDI to that external portal [in CMS->Transport Studio], it fails with below error:
SIDadm> cat <TRACK_NAME>@<XXX><TIME_STAMP>SDM-deploy.log
<TIME_STAMP> Info :Starting Step SDM-deploy at <TIME_STAMP> -5:00
<TIME_STAMP> Info :start deployment of archives:http://<SAP_PORTAL_SERVER_NAME>:5NN04
<TIME_STAMP> Fatal :caused by Exception:com.sap.cms.tcs.beans.exception.TCSDeployException_Communication: The user 'Administrator' could not be connected to the specified host '<SAP_SERVER_NAME>'and port '5NN04'.:The user 'Administrator' could not be connected to the specified host '<SAP_PORTAL_SERVER_NAME>'and port '5NN04'.

[NN = External portal instance number].
2. I initially suspected issue is in firewall rules, so had our network team opened port 5NN04 for external portal in DMZ.
Now from NWDI system I can do:
NWDISIDadm> telnet <SAP_PORTAL_SERVER_NAME> 5NN04
Trying <IP_SAP_PORTAL>...
Connected to <SAP_PORTAL_SERVER_NAME>.
Escape character is '^]'.
^]
telnet> quit
Connection to <SAP_PORTAL_SERVER_NAME> closed.
From SAP portal to telnet to NWDI is also working.
SAP_PORTAL_SIDadm> telnet <SAP_NWDI_CI> 5MM00
Trying <SAP_NWDI_IP>...
Connected to <SAP_NWDI_CI>.
Escape character is '^]'.
^CConnection to <SAP_NWDI_CI> closed by foreign host.
[MM = NWDI Instance no.]
3. We are using deploy controller with P4 (5NN04) port (as we are in NW 7.4) in run time system configuration in NWDI.
4. Other two steps before SDM-Deploy: Repository-import and CBS-make are finishing successfully, only SDM-Deploy is failing.
5. Our configuration in NWDI should be alright since this import works fine in internal portal with same P4 ports. Also we have NWDI set up for a long time.
a. Can any expert please tell me what could be the issue? What am I missing?
b. When we import any component from NWDI to runtime system, I hope there is a two way communication (NWDI to portal port 04 and portal to NWDI port 00) ? Is there any other port associated with this? How this import happens internally?
c.what are the other possible checks can be carried out to determine where is the actual problem?
