RFC : Transaction Program not Registered

Hi Folks,
We have registered the server program from the middleware onto SAP R/3 System and is successfully registered as per the logs. As a next step, we have logged into R/3 System, SM59, in the RFC destination (Type TCP/IP) after specifying the registered program, we have tested it(Connectivity test). The test is positive and connectivity is established successfully.
The solution was working for months and suddenly connectivity is broken.
To restore the connection, we have repeated the steps, registered the server program, tested and everything is fine.
But when we have pushed a new message, then onwards the RFC destination shows an error. "TP is not registered", Return Code 679. That is when the first message is pushed, it is de-registering the server program and running into error. All the messages got stuck in SM58 with status 'Error when opening an RFC connection'.
RFC trace shows
ERVER> Caller transaction code:  (Caller Program: SAPLQOWK)
ERVER> Called function module: ARFC_RUN_NOWAIT
Error RFCIO_ERROR_SYSERROR in abrfcpic.c : 1501
CPIC-CALL: 'ThSAPOCMINIT' : cmRc=2 thRc=679
Transaction program not registered.
Please let me know for any inputs.
Thanks, Suraj

My problem got solved. In the middleware, when TRFC connection is made, it has created a lock entry during the time, system was brought down for maintenance activity. When the system is brought up, then as the connection lock entry is available, then it deregistered the server program and not able to establish further connection.
To resolve the issue, we have just deleted lock file and registered server program from middleware. This time the connection was established successfully and could able to restore the message flow.
Thanks, Suraj

    Hi Sunny,
    Thank you  for your suggestion, actually we have tried registration using rfcexec and it works fine.
    BTW, we have managed to solve this issue by de-activate the IDoc receive & send modules of websap component and activate them again.

    hello
    there is a small difference in ERP (EH&S)  Releases and how to handle them regarding EH&S Expert. Please take a look here:
    http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_04/helpdata/en/c1/eda0f591ec12408b25e7a1b369ca45/frameset.htm
    regarding actual release.
    The installation and configuration of the EH&S Expert ist described in a general OSS note (refer below). In this OSS note it is shown how to do it (you need to configure Windows etc.).
    In WWI Conncetion it is furtheremore important how you configure the RFC (Unicode transfer mode or not). With EH&S Expert I have no experience but the same issue applies in my opinion.
    With best regards
    C.B.
    PS: check these OSS notes:
    568302
    1434736
    1299868
    1364100
    700288
    I hope that one of them could help.
    PPS: to my knowlegde the detail configuration guide of EH&S Expert is part of the downloaded files of the most recent EH&S Expert version.

  • RFC error: transaction program not registered

    Hi gurus,
    I am facing one issue with RFC connection.
    I am creating one TCP/IP connection from ECC 6.0 (windows 2003) to EHS/WWI application. i am getting following error when i am doing connection test.
    error: Program <PROGRAM ID> not registered.
    Then i tried to register the program by running the following command at OS level.
    rfcexec u2013a program_ID u2013g ######id  u2013x sapgw00
    But still the error persists.
    Please guide me. also does this command creates entry in saprfc.ini file? i have tried adding it manually in that file also.

    I think you need change Activation Type Radiobutton.
    I believe that you have checked "Registered Server Program", and with this flag you have to identify a registered RFC program. With an SAP gateway, an RFC server program can be registered under this ID and then wait for RFC calls from different SAP Systems.
    Type T destinations are connections to external programs that use the RFC API to receive RFCs.
    If it is Start, you must specify the host name and the pathname of the program to be started.

  • Java communication error: Error when opening an RFC connection (CPIC-CALL: 'ThSAPOCMINIT' : cmRc=2 thRc=679 Transaction program not registered ).

    There is a RFC connection not working connection test fails.
    I found out the RFC is using a a program id that is not registerd.
    When I register the program on os level like rfcexec -r -a <program_id> -g <hostname> -x <sapgw> the connection test on the rfc works.
    The problem with the rfcexec is that it just works as long as the os session is active.
    From what I´ve read I need to configure this on java side in the web dynpro content administrator.
    Can you help me with that ? When I try to click Create jco destination I get an error.

    Hello Vioar,
    rfcexec is only a standard program for testing, you sould not register it for your application on the gateway.
    Since you are getting "User is not allowed to read any data..." - did you logon with the correct user? Does this user have enough authorizations?

  • Risk Terminator ECC 6 - CC 5.2 - RFC  Test: Program not registered

    Dear board,
    I am configuring the risk terminator functionality and stumble accross problems with the setup of the RFC destination from ECC to the CC. The connection test fails with "ERROR: program GRCRTTOCC5X not registered".
    The RFC connection is of type TCP/IP, Registered Server Program, Default Gateway Value and Gateway host/service information I took from another working rfc connection.
    The RFC connection is equal to the one set up in the RT configuration transaction, I have set up a dedicated connector on the CC with direction outound and GRCRTTOCC5X as report.
    I have furthermore noticed that I am not able to active the SAP Adapter in the CC yet, a JCO error appears.
    Any ideas?

  • KABA connection issue - program not registered

    I am trying to troubleshoot a connection error between SAP and KABA.  I have the RFC created in SAP and when I test the connection I get a program not registered.  The KABA "amsproc" service on the KABA side has been restarted, we have occasionally received a password locked message in the SAP system log after restarting the KABA service (I believe this means SAP and KABA are communicating).  We have since reset the password, but we can not successfully test the RFC and when attempting to send IDOC's out we get the program not registered error.  Is there something on the SAP side that needs to be done to register the program or is starting the service on the KABA side going to register the program with SAP?  Any assistance would be appreciated.

    Hi,
    In Central Management Console ie, Admin application of BOE, you need to configure the BW system. Use the below URL,
    http://<serverhostname>:<port>/CmcApp
    After logging in Select the Authentication and SAP as authentication type.  Regarding how to configure, follow the configuration steps mentioned in the below article:
    http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/a00ee3b2-5283-2b10-f1bf-8c6413e0898f
    Once you import the roles with the above configuration, the user with which you are validating the RFC connection will be imported in the BOE.
    Now, verify the RFC in the BW system.
    Regards,
    Noor.

  • TREX7.1 - Program not registered

    Hi to all experts,
    I am implementing TREX7.1 revision 36 (latest) which is standalone, but I encountered the error - program not registered while creating the RFC connection in admin tool. Previously the connection was working but it happens when I switched the RFCSERVER to "single thread (all hosts), deleted the old RFC connection and recreate the new one.
    I have tried the following methods:
    1. removed TREX and reinstall it again.
    2. executed rfcexec u2013g<program id> -a<gateway host name> -x<gateway service> (it seems like nothing has been changed) - I registered it in SAP server, am I correct?
    Thanks in advance.

  • Showmount: HOSTNAME: RPC: Program not registered

    I am new to solaris. I have solaris 10 installed in one of my machines. When i try to list the remote mounts using the command "showmount", i am getting the error "RPC:Program not registered" . I am not aware of which services i have to check/start to get this fixed. Can someone please help me on fixing this issue?

    I found the following reply in one another thread and i shared and unshared as suggested, now my problem appears to have been fixed. Can someone please explain what the following steps are doing?
    I ran the following which worked for me (not sure why).
    share -F nfs /mnt
    unshare /mnt
    Somehow that kicks RPC to work. "showmount" now works.

  • Showmount: new-host: RPC: Program not registered

    I always have problem shutting down my solaris system, anytime i issue the shutdown command i always get this error "showmount: new-host: RPC: Program not registered" and the system dows not shutdown instead reboots.
    bash-3.00$ su
    Password:
    # shutdown
    Shutdown started.    Wednesday, March  5, 2008 12:03:30 PM EST

    The system new-host will be shut down in 30 seconds
    showmount: new-host: RPC: Program not registered
    Do you want to continue? (y or n):

    I think the shutdown command executes "showmount" as part of its execution process and if the nfs deamon is not running at that time, it produces this error. If you just execute "showmount", you'll see the same problem. Check this page:
    http://access1.sun.com/FAQSets/Solarisx86FAQs.html#14
    You should execute shutdown with some parameters:
    # shutdown -i0 -g0 -y

    -i0 : init state 0 (for shutdown)
    -g0 : grace period in seconds (0 for immediate, 60 by default)

    Something helpful related to this
    The program in the above error should be registered in the gateway for this connection test to complete successfully. The server program rfcexec is responsible for its registration on the gateway.
    To register the program login into the OS level as sudo su - <sid>adm and execute the following command.
    rfcexec u2013g<program id> -a<gateway host name> -x<gateway service>
    rfcexec is the server program name, the <program id> can be obtained from SM59, it is case sensitive and should match with the entry in SM59. The <gateway host name> and <gateway service> can be obtained from the transaction SMGW. When this command is executed it goes to a hanging loop.
    The connection will fail once this command is terminated or the user executing this command logs off
    To avoid this, instead of using the above mentioned command an entry should be made in the file saprfc.ini
    To do this, execute the following command
    sudo su - <sid>adm
    rfcexec u2013D<destination name>
    <destination name> is the RFC destination name in SM59
    So now we are done with registering the server program, but how do we check it is registered, once a server program is registered it is displayed in the Logged on clients in SMGW.
    In transaction SMGW choose GOTO-> Logged on clients. There should be an entry for the server program in the screen that is displayed with system type Registered_TP (which indicates that the program is registered)

    Hello SM,
    Thanks for your quick reply.
    Thanks for sharing link for document ie Configure the MDM Administration_cockpit. It is helpful. I read that document.
    But still issue remain there.
    The same RFC connection works between SRM sandbox to MDM sandbox.
    Only issue with SRM Prod to MDM Prod (newly built system)
    difference between MDM Prod and MDM sandbox.
    MDM Prod runs: Windows server 2008 OS
    MDM Sandbox runs: Windows server 2003 OS
    Landscape: PI7.1, MDM 7.1 and SRM 5.5, SRM-MDM Catalog 3.0
    Even i did os01 tcode ping test using host name (specific IP address) from SRM prod to MDM prod, it is fine.
    Thanks a lot for your help.
    I checked these notes also
    Note 353597 - Registering a server program
    Note 44844 - No connection to registered RFC program
