Hi
We use NW740 with GWFND SPS4 for development (hub).
Our developer wants to access some data in the backend system which is NW731 (ERP6 EHP6 SPS7) and currently without any Gateway components and gets the following error:
Function module "/IWBEP/FM_MGW_MED_LOAD" not found.
As IW_BEP is not installed in the backend this sounds logical.
On the other hand we found following statement (source:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_gateway20sp06/helpdata/en/62/91ad98b19b4a91bca737fbe442273f/content.htm)
The SAP NetWeaver Gateway core components can be deployed in a standalone system, either behind or in front of the firewall. In addition, you can install the optional components for central hub deployment in your standalone system. For SAP NetWeaver 7.02, 7.03, and 7.31 you can install the componentIW_BEP either in this hub system and/or in the backend system. For SAP NetWeaver 7.40 and higher, the core component SAP_GWFND is installed as standard and includes the functional scope of IW_BEP.
The question now is if we need to add (optional gets required) IW_BEP to the ERP instance or if there is some kind of workaround/change in development for our Gateway application on NW740 (I'm the basis guy and don't know much about the development itself).
