Here’s an uncommon problem that we ran into on our current Express Ship project. I included the solution in case others find this useful…
Issue:
The ‘Scale_for_R3.exe’ program should not be started directly, instead it is necessary to use a batch-file to execute the program. While scale_for_r3.exe is running, the command window will remain open. If the program cannot run correctly, the command window will close and a trace (.trc) file will be produced. When you examine the entries, the “ERROR” section appears to identify something along the lines of ‘registration of tp PACKING_SCALE_SJ from host 43.135.138.189 not allowed’ as the problem spot:
**** ERROR file opened at 20120504 155250 Pacific Daylight Time, SAP-REL 720,0,68 RFC-VER 3 MT-SL

Solution:
The issue is the result of security measures deployed either within SAP itself or at the Unix level. Check if there is a reg_info file under /usr/sap/<SID>/DVEBMGS<INST#>/data that is restricting by IP address. See the following URL for more information:
