Due to changes introduced to SAP Web Dispatcher as of version 781, it is no longer possible to establish an authenticated connection to Web Dispatcher instances via type G RFC destination. Without a working type G RFC destination, monitoring of the Web Dispatcher instance is currently not supported. See SAP note 3277881 for more details about this limitation.

The prerequisite for adding a system for SAP Web Dispatcher is to have a configured HTTP Destination to External Server. Please check the steps required for configuration in the section Configuration of HTTP Destination
