RFC connectivity from DataStage to SAP BW

The datastage 7.5 server is installed on windows 2000. We are trying to establish RFC connectivity from dataStage using SAP BW loadpack to SAP BW installed on unix server . But it's giving RFC connectivity error.

Is it possible to establish RFC connectivity for BW from dataStage if both are on different OS ( unix and windows) ? Asking this question because I know that ftp connectivity cannot be established between windows and unix. I supposed RFC connection is similar to ftp connection.

Regards

Mukund

maybe besides the point, but AFAIK ftp can be established between windows and Unix. :roll:

It is possible to connect BW(On Unix) and Datastage(On Windows) using SAP LoadPack.

Create a Source System in SAP which connects Datastage and Check the Status. Check the RFC server status in RFC Monitor . Mostly your RFC server is not running.
