Hello Experts,
I have an issue with connecting a java application deployed on SAP portal with SAP backend.
I get a Jco Exception raised from the Java code which is captured in the default trace file:
com.sap.mw.jco.JCO$Exception: (102) RFC_ERROR_COMMUNICATION: CMALLC : rc=19 > Connect from SAP gateway to RFC server failed

I checked the dev_rfc.trc file and here are its contents:

I do not get why there are 3 entries in dev_rfc.trc file with counter 2,4 & 6 each time an error happens.
Here the hostname 'abc' is wrong and I do not know where it is coming from, I have checked all the parameters in Visual Administrator & configtool . Every where the hostname is correct- which is 'xyz'.
Is there a need to maintain host and service file on the backend ECC system too?
The host and service file are maintained and have correct values on the Portal server.
The problem seems to be common & reported many times in SDN, but there has been no concrete solution mentioned anywhere in any of the existing threads.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Sonali.
