There is no default setting.

 

This property is optional; use it only

is behind a firewall.

 

 

The string is composed of the

 

 

hostnames or IP addresses of all the

 

 

SAP routers that are in between this

 

 

logical host and the SAP gateway

 

 

host. For example, if there are two

 

 

routers, saprouter1, and saprouter2,

 

 

in order, from the Logical Host to the

 

 

SAP R/3, as follows:

 

 

saprouter1:

 

 

204.79.199.5 saprouter2:

 

 

207.105.30.146

 

 

The router string in this case is as

 

 

follows:

 

 

/H/204.79.199.5/H/

 

 

207.105.30.146/H/

 

 

Do not omit the “/H/” tokens to

 

 

begin, separate, and end the routers.
