How to debug a RFC function module remotely from another R/3 system?

Hi experts,
I have RFC function module in one R/3 system. I am calling this from another R/3 system that is cross apps (Xapps).
This function module is Synchronous.
Is it possible to debug this function module from cross apps?
Can somebody give me the steps?
Thanks & Regards
Gopal

Hi Shree,
   Can you explain it bit more?
   Do I have to call the function module with "IN BACKGROUND TASK"?
   Or is it that I have to just put external breakpoint in the function module?
   Please help
Thanks

V Urgent : Debugging an RFC function Module in another R/3 system

Hi All
I have a function module in a R/3 system ( say WB1 ) and i am calling it from another R/3 system (say WD1) . Both have their RFC destinations set up as trusted system mutually . However when i try to debug that FM while in WD1 ( which basically exists only in WB1) i am not able to get inside that FM . Are there some settings that we need to do to allow us to debug function module in another R/3 system ? .
Yes ,we cant do this debugging if RFC function module is in a non SAP system but am sure it can be done atleast for R/3 to R/3 .
Any pointers to this as to what setting needs to done ?
Does some system parameter needs to be set in RSPARAM program for debugging RFC?
Please help

Shovit

Hi
Can you do a remote logon through the SM59 connection (the trusted one)?
If so, then the only thing preventing you would be debugging autorization.
If not, make sure you have trusted system logon auth (not part of SAP_ALL!).

Is it possible to call custom designed RFC function module, apart from BAPI

Hi Friends,
1. Is it possible to call custom designed RFC function module, apart from BAPI.
2. Why we call it Adaptive RFC layer, Since every time the JCO layer updated with SAP, Why cant be dynamic.
Thanx for Ur time.
Cheers,
Sam

Also check <a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/41/38bc8f813719488ddc9d9b21251ec3/frameset.htm">here</a> for more information on aRFC. Here you can find why it is called adaptive.

How to debug a RFC function when the user is non-dialog type? Please help!

hi Experts,
I am calling a RFC FM residing in B from R/3 system A.
R/3 A -
Call FM residing in B----
> R/3 B
The user attached to the remote destination is a non-dialog type.
I cannot change the user type of this user.
Therefore how to debug the RFC FM in System A?
Are there any alternatives?
Please help
Thanks
Gopal

in your RFC FM, code an endlees loop.
something like:
data: gv_x type xfeld value 'X'.
do.
if gv_x = space.
exit.
endif.
enddo.
now you can catch the mode in TA SM50, go in it, change gv_x to space and debug what is coming further.

How to make a normal Function Module remote able function module

Hi guys,
i am a beginner in abap programming. I have made a programm in Se80 which shows all the nodes of the active hierarchies (5 stk.)
in a ALV grid. Therefore i am getting the active hierarchies from table "rshiedir" and use the normal function module "RSSH_HIERARCHY_READ" to display the nodes of the hierarchie. The problem is the hierarchies do have a different techical name in the systems (development-acceptance-productive) but the descriptive nbame is the same in all systems. Because of the difference of the technical names I can use this programm in just one system. But the hierarchy content should be comparable and be displayed in all three systems. Therefore i would like to create a remoteable function module which covers the normal one. Can i do this and how can i create a remoteable function module and use it?
If not do you know any remotable functgion module which gives back all the nodes from an active hierarchy in table "RShiedir".
Thanks and kind regards,
Murat

Hello,
Simple, create a wrapper RFC (similar to 'RSSH_HIERARCHY_READ' ) & call the normal FM 'RSSH_HIERARCHY_READ' inside the wrapper.
Something like this:
FUNCTION z_rssh_hierarchy_read.
*"*"Global Interface:
*" IMPORTING
*"     VALUE(I_RSHIEDIRKEY) TYPE RSHI_S_RSHIEDIRKEY OPTIONAL
*"     VALUE(I_RSHIEDIRLOG) TYPE RSHI_S_RSHIEDIRLOG OPTIONAL

IF sy-subrc <> 0.
* MESSAGE ID SY-MSGID TYPE SY-MSGTY NUMBER SY-MSGNO
*         WITH SY-MSGV1 SY-MSGV2 SY-MSGV3 SY-MSGV4.
ENDIF.
Here Z_RSSH_HIERARCHY_READ is the wrapper RFC. Hope you get the point.

How to debug a RFC function mod in background?

Hi all,
I am uploading a file thru a portal application & the output will go to a mail box. Everything happens in background.
First the portal application will call a XI devlopment & then the data processed will call a RFC fun mod and the output is going to a mailbox.
In the function modules, I am getting the errors. Since it is a protal application & it runs in backgrnd, I am unable debug the fun modules. I tried both external break point & internal breakpoints. But I am unable to debug the program.
can anyone help me how to keep external breakpoints & debug it in background?
Thanks,
Vijay.

HI ,
you can do Debugging , what you need to do is need not use the login as Public . there will be another   group server .
i am sure you are using PUBLIC   in this only the front end   will work   means only   inside the sap objects will be stopped . for Portal other thigs you need to take other gropu server .
Your Basis Knows it well ....
Normally , in SAP   You will have PUBLIC ,SPACE, MESSAGE ,dialog servers.
Take the last one which will have   all facilities ,so that it will stop in the break Points which you kept.
it means the Dialog proces will take care of the screens and also takes Break Point and stops it in sap .
Reward points if it is usefull....

Debugging an RFC function module

Hi,
I am making an RFC call from Server(RDH) to server(RDI).The problem i am facing is that i am not being able to return debug the function module nor is this returning any values. The function module has been transported to the RDH and Rdi servers.
One reason could be that the destination returned by teh function module us wrong but the people concerned insist that it is correct. I am at a loggerheads.
Thanks

How to debug outbound Idoc function module for invoice

I have to debug the outbound IDOC function module and UserExit for invoice message type INVOIC, process code SD09, function module is IDOC_OUTPUT_INVOIC and user exit for the function module LVEDF001.
I tried putting the break point in function module IDOC_OUTPUT_INVOIC and recreate the IDOC using WE19 but it creates the idoc but does not stop at the break point. I have also tried generation of idoc through VF02. It again creates the idoc but does not stop at the function module.
Please let me know if I am missing any thing and not doing it right.
Appreciate your help.
Rohit

Hi Ali,
I faced the same problem. Thing is the break point is not getting triggered when i ran tha IDOC through WE19.
What i have done is i created a project for my exit in CMOD and kept some junk code in the exit and executed it through BD21. Then the Break point got triggered. See if it works.

ABAP Dump due to RFC Function module call in another thread

Hi,
I am facing some problem since yesterday. In one of my executable program I am calling a RFC fm as below mentioned
REPORT ZREPORT.
CALL FUNCTION 'Z_XXXXXXXXX'
      STARTING NEW TASK L_NAME
      DESTINATION IN GROUP 'TASK'
      PERFORMING RETURN_INFO ON END OF TASK
      EXPORTING
        P_exp1       = l_emp
      TABLES
        R_VBELN      = r_it_vbeln
      EXCEPTIONS
        NO_DATA_TO_PROCESS = 1
        OTHERS             = 2.
wait until v_task = 1.
update ztable.
Due to some data inconsistence one of the SAP function
module which I am calling in my function module Z_XXXXXXXXX
is generating dump with message type X. Since there is data inconsistence it is generating dump that's OK.
But the problem i am getting is, report ZREPORT is generating dump at WAIT statement saying illegal statement even though I am calling that function module
Z_XXXXXXXXX as a separate new task.
Can somebody help me.
Thanks,
Amara.

hi, Amara
I agree with Rich said, and do a simulate test in my server, here is the analysis.
Assume we have a RFC, like this:
FUNCTION ZGZL_DUMPTEST.
*"*"Local interface:
*" EXPORTING
*"     VALUE(OUT) TYPE I
*" EXCEPTIONS
*"      CONVERT_FAIL
data:a type i.
a = 'A'.
ENDFUNCTION.
And call this RFC like you way:
REPORT ZGZL_DUMPTEST .
DATA:
SEMAPHORE(1) VALUE SPACE,
LC_OUT       TYPE I.
CALL FUNCTION 'ZGZL_DUMPTEST'
STARTING NEW TASK 'DUMP'
PERFORMING RETURN_INFO ON END OF TASK.
WAIT UNTIL SEMAPHORE = 'X'.
WRITE: 'OVER'.
FORM RETURN_INFO USING TASKNAME.
RECEIVE RESULTS FROM FUNCTION 'ZGZL_DUMPTEST'
          IMPORTING OUT = LC_OUT.
SEMAPHORE = 'X'.
ENDFORM.                    " RETURN_INFO
if we run the RFC in se37 directly, obviously it will occur a rumtime error CONVT_NO_NUMBER, and dump.
But if we run the above application to call the RFC, we will get a different runtime error CALL_FUNCTION_REMOTE_ERROR.
Error Analysis in ST22 like this:
An error occurred when executing a REMOTE FUNCTION CALL.
It was logged under the name "CONVT_NO_NUMBER"
on the called page.
I think that means the application receive the runtime error from RFC when call <b>RECEIVE RESULTS</b>.
In normal CALL FUNCTION, the external application will accept the rumetime error throw from FM, that's correct, because it let the caller can handle these runtime errors.
In you case, you said RFC run in a new task, yes, that's true, so you can call the RFC like this:
CALL FUNCTION 'ZGZL_DUMPTEST'
STARTING NEW TASK 'DUMP'
PERFORMING RETURN_INFO ON END OF TASK.
WAIT UNTIL SEMAPHORE = 'X'.
WRITE: 'OVER'.
FORM RETURN_INFO USING TASKNAME.
SEMAPHORE = 'X'.
ENDFORM.                    " RETURN_INFO
It will goes well, no dump. Why? because we don't use RECEIVE RESULT. RECEIVE RESULT will bring the result from FM, also bring the runtime error from FM.
So if you want to call the FM and receive the result, handle the runtime error in FM inside at first.
like this:
CATCH SYSTEM-EXCEPTIONS CONVT_NO_NUMBER = 1.
    a = 'A'.
ENDCATCH.
IF SY-SUBRC = 1.
    RAISE CONVERT_FAIL.
ENDIF.
And then you call FM like this:
CALL FUNCTION 'ZGZL_DUMPTEST'
STARTING NEW TASK 'DUMP'
PERFORMING RETURN_INFO ON END OF TASK.
WAIT UNTIL SEMAPHORE = 'X'.
WRITE: 'OVER'.
FORM RETURN_INFO USING TASKNAME.
RECEIVE RESULTS FROM FUNCTION 'ZGZL_DUMPTEST'
          IMPORTING OUT = LC_OUT
          EXCEPTIONS CONVERT_FAIL = 1.
SEMAPHORE = 'X'.
ENDFORM.                    " RETURN_INFO
That's will be ok for your scenario.
Hope my reply is useful.
thanks

Regarding the RFC Function Module call from PI

Hi All,
I am working on one File to RFC interface, in which File adapter picks the file, this file data has to goto 2 function modules in SAP system. For this i added 2 Inbound interfaces in INTERFACE DETERMINATION and I developed 2 RECEIVER AGREEMENTS. In 2 RECEIVER AGREEMENTS i added single receiver RFC Communication Channel.
Now i want assurance that once 1 st function module will execute completely, then only my second function module should be called. Is there any setting that i can do to make this sync?????.
what is the use of Send 'Confirm Transaction' in receiver RFC Communication Channel under Adavanced Mode.
Thanks,
Balu

Hi,
As per you requirement I would suggest to change your scenario as File To Proxy. It will much more easier and 100% sure to process second BAPI only after first gets successful inside the proxy.
Pass the data from file adapter to inbound proxy and then inside proxy code you first call the first BAPI and use commit wrok. Once commit work is successful then you call the second BAPI otherwise rollback the changes.
Example:
Call First_BAPI
<pass the data to it's import export parameters>
Commit work.
if sy-subrc =0.
Call Second_BAPI.
<pass the data to it's import export parameters>
Commit work.
endif.
Note: If you are not very much comfortable with ABAP the discuss this with your ABAP team mate.

Sarvesh

How can i access RFC Function module in BI

Dear Experts,
I have a RFC fm in BI system which will allow me to write data into BI DSO, but when i am trying to select that from BI system their is no option to select a service, but when we go to ECC or CRM we can find option Service through with we can select BAPI or FM (RFC enabled)
is their a option or a workaround for me to do it please.
thanks and regards
Neel

Hi Neel,
Do the following Checks first:
1. Go to the Find data tab and select the System(System alias will apeear ) you had designed form the Drop down of list of systems .If you are not able see the sytem here means you did not done the usermapping.
2.if you are able to find your system in the drop down the in the Search for service option eneter the quiery or FM or your Bapi/RFC name and the click on serach button.
if still you have problem plz contact me without any problem

Govindu

Debugging RFC function module from ECC to CRM

Hi All,
My requirement is to debug an RFC function module present in CRM(7.0) system from ECC(6.0) system. A report program in ECC will call CRM custom FM. I found many posts in SDN with the same issue and tried to implement suggestions provided there. But I couldn't succeed. The approach I followed is:
I logged in to ECC report program and kept an external breakpoint just before the function module call.
I logged in to CRM system, opened the function module and kept an external breakpoint there.
In both the systems I provided the dialogue userid( id through which I log in to SAPGUI) in the system->settings->debugging option.
In CRM I activated the external break point in transaction SRDEBUG.
Now when I execute the report program in ECC, control stops at the breakpoint. If I press F5 at the function call, control is not going to the external break point set in the CRM FM. I am getting output of FM directly.
I tried with different settings like turning on the check box for IP matching and session breakpoint active immediate, switching to classic debugger etc. I also tried to provide the RFC user id instead of dialogue user but system throws exception saying only dialogue userids are allowed. I found that by inserting an infinite loop statement, control goes inside the RFC CRM FM but I prefer not to change the code.
Please let me know if I missed anything.
Thanks and Regards,
Naren

Hi,
Debug RFC calls
When an RFC function module is called it is usually not possible to debug the call, using the below techniques we can achieve the same. For this example we are calling an RFC enabled FM in ECC system from CRM system.
Scenario 1: Calling a custom RFC FM
STEP 1: Add an infinite loop in the remote custom Function Module (adding a u201CDO. ENDDO.u201D statement at the start of the FM would be enough).
STEP 2: Execute your program in the CRM system. The execution stops at the RFC call, because of the infinite loop.
STEP 3: Now login to the ECC system and go to transaction SM51 select the process which is executing the RFC and navigate to the menu: u201CProgram/Session->Program->Debuggingu201D this triggers the debugger session in a separate window.
Scenario 2: Calling a Standard RFC FM
When we are debugging a standard program we cannot add the infinite loop, hence we cannot go to SM51 and debug the work process. The RFC destination for the ECC system has a User specified, the RFC function module gets executed using this users credentials. Usually the basis team set up the RFC user as non Dialog user, this does not allow debugging. Contact your Basis team and get this changed to a dialog user enabling you to debug RFC function calls via the normal debugger.
Note: User name configured in the RFC destination (transaction SM59)
Note: User type for the RFC User (transaction SU01D)
Hope this will be helpful..

RFC Function module-With Only Request message

Hi
i need a RFC with only Request message and Response message is not required.
please help me, how to create a RFC function module with out Response message, and it should contain only Request message.
i have created RFC in this way:
RFC doesn't contain neither import nor export parameters. and i have defined one table in TABLE tab which refers to a ztable created already.
when i imported RFC into XI i came to know that RFC has both Request and Response messages, but i don't need Response message.
Thanks in advance..help would be appreciated
Regards,
Rajesh

Thankx Michal,
I have written ZRFC this way:
insert ZMM_AUTO_GR from INPUT_TABLE .
if sy-subrc = 0.
commit work.
else.
rollback work.
im not using neither import nor export parameters..but using only tables parameters. but when imported in XI im getting same table structure in both request an response.
please suggest what changes required in above code to invoke my ZRFC in async way.
you will not get any response in XI- what chages required in my code to dnt get .reponse in XI.
appreciate your help.

Hello ,
Thank you for your quick help.
Here I have 3 ECC 6 system .
1 Central systen
2 Slave system
Data will be updated to 2 slave system using RFC function module .
We've already the SAP address, Client, User name , Password.. of the remote system
So here how we will create RFC in SM59 to be used in the RFC call ?
We will transfer the username, password , client in the RFC function module/..
Here I do not know how to create RFC connection in SM59 and how to use them in ABAP
Could you please help me ????

How to create RFC function module and how to call this function module

Hi,
i want to know step for creating RFC function module and then How to use this function module from some other sap system.
Thnaks,
jigar

Jigar,
To implement a remote function module in ABAP, perform the following steps:
Register the module as remotely callable in the RFC server system.
In the function module Administration screen (transaction code SE37), set the field Can be called via REMOTE CALL. Registering a module as remote causes an RFC stub to be generated for it.
Write the code for the function module.
Create the destinations.....................
Displaying, Maintaining and Testing Destinations
To display, create or modify destinations, choose Tools ® Administration ® Administration ® Network ® RFC destinations or enter transaction code SM59.
Remote Destinations are stored in table RFCDES. The RFCDES table describes logical destinations for remote function calls.
It is not possible to maintain the RFCDES table directly.
You can also access logical destinations via the Implementation Guide (IMG) by choosing Tools ® AcceleratedSAP ® Customizing ® Execute Project ® SAP Reference IMG.
In the Implementation Guide, expand the following hierarchy structure:
Basis
Application Link Enabling (ALE)
Sending and Receiving Systems
Systems in Network
Define Target Systems for RFC Calls
Displaying Destinations
The initial screen for this transaction displays a tree:
Different connection types (i.e. partner systems or programs) are possible. For further information, see Types of Destinations.
To display all information for a given destination, double-click it, or place the cursor on it and press F2 .
To search for a destination, press the Find button and specify your selection. You get a list of all entries matching your selection. Place the cursor on the one you want, and press F2 or simply double-click the destination. All information for the given entry appears.
Creating Destinations
On the destinations overview screen (transaction code SM59), the connection types and all existing destinations are displayed in a tree structure.
All available connection types are explained in Types of Destinations.
To create a new RFC destination, press the Create button. A new screen is displayed with empty fields for you to fill in.
If you want to create a new destination
As you create a remote destination, you can specify a particular application server or a group of servers for a balanced distribution of system load.
For details of the destination parameters, see Entering Destination Parameters.
Changing Existing Destinations
On the destinations overview screen (transaction code SM59), the connection types and all existing destinations are displayed in a tree structure.
You can display all information for a given destination by double-clicking it or pressing F2 on it.
To change an existing destination, double-click it, or place the cursor on it and press the Change button.
For details of the destination parameters, see Entering Destination Parameters.
Testing Destinations
To test a destination, choose the appropriate function from the Test menu.
Connection (also available via the Test connection pushbutton)
Authorization (checks logon data)
Local network (provides a list of application servers)
You can use the CALL FUNCTION statement to call remote functions, just as you would call local function modules. However, you must include an additional DESTINATION clause to define where the function should run:
CALL FUNCTION RemoteFunction
DESTINATION Dest
EXPORTING
f1 =...
f2 =...
IMPORTING
f3 =...
TABLES
t1 =...
EXCEPTIONS......
The field Dest can be either a literal or a variable: its value is a logical destination (for example, "hw1071_53") known to the local SAP System. Logical destinations are defined in the RFCDES table (or the TRFCD table in R/2 Systems) via transaction sm59 or the following menu path: Tools ® Administration, Administration ® Network ® RFC destinations. You can also access logical destinations via the Implementation Guide (IMG) by choosing Tools ® Customizing ® Enterprise IMG. In the Implementation Guide, you can then choose Cross-application components ® ALE ® Communication ® Define RFC destination.
The remote function call concept, for example, allows you to access a function module in an R/2 System from an ABAP program in an R/3 System. If you want to read a customer record from your R/2 Systems database, create a remotely callable function module in the R/2 environment which retrieves customer records. Call this function from your R/3 System using a remote function call and listing the destination for the target R/2 System:
