I was trying to connect SAP endpoint using Secure Connector. Secure Connector is installed and running in my local m/c which has 64 bit Windows 7 OS. I am observing that the connector behavior is very unstable. While the Secure Connector is installed, configured properly and running fine in my local m/c and also status is shown "Connected" in Bluemix, I am facing problem while trying to create an API using this connector in Bluemix Cloud Integration service. When I create the API using the secure connection and mention the SAP end point details it shows a drop down to select RFC, BAPI and IDOC. As I select RFC from that list, it is giving time out error in Bluemix but there is no error/exception in the secure connector window in my local m/c ( I have made the debug on for the secure connector in my local m/c). Does any one face similar issue and any known solution for this ?

Hello Pradip,
We are investigating the issue to determine the root cause and for that, I have scheduled a meeting for 10/17 (tomorrow) to discuss the issue in a greater detail. The information we need from you at the moment is: - Try listing the set of bapis - Select bapi from the dropdown list while creating the API and confirm whether the bapi list is loading. - The API secret that was generated
We can discuss this and more at the live debug session tomorrow.
Thank You.

Hi Pradip, can you tell me if the secureconnector logs show any errors? Do you have all the required jar files for the connection installed properly after thoroughly reading the README contained therein?
Hi Erick,
Thanks for responding ! yes I have all the required jar files installed and the secure connector is running ok in my TP ( Windows 7 , 64 bit ) environment. I have made the debug on for the secure connector. Secure connector not showing any error message when the time out is shown in Bluemix. Secure Connector is only showing following message in its window -
2014-10-14 17:50:22 INFO Performing execute on activity com.approuter.module.sap ..cas.activity.InvokeSAPActivity with session id ed6331d6-b17d-45f4-81e6-b16ab779 6766
Are you seeing any issues related to size of the object?
We had a similar issue where the RFC object was large prior to the September 2014 refresh and though the UI received the entire content, it was not able to process and display it in the UI. Have you created these connectors and endpoints after the September rollout?
Can you send me the logs from the CI connector?
Also, would like to know if you are running in production or the internal staging environment.
Hi , I am doing this in Bluemix production. I was connected with Cody M Walker of CloudOE dev team and he said that the server side log showed that calls are made to SAP server and number of results being returned for rfc is very large (multiple pages of server logs) It's trying to parse through and return 11.63mb of data and is taking 57395ms to return.He said that connector was actually still working in the background, even though the UI is showing that time out error. However he is not sure why the call is taking 10 minutes to complete.
I created it day before yesterday , so it seems to me the size issue of RFC object is not resolved in September release !
