Calling Remote Functions Locally Triggers any Database commit(Implicit)

Hello,
Am making use of RFC enabled function module as normal function module (Calling remote function module locally).
My question is does it trigger any implicit database commit or not. Since synchronous RFC triggers database commit.

Tenzin Choegyen

Let me correct the statement both synchronous as well as asynchronous RFCs trigger an implicit DB commit.
SAP documentation on synch-RFCs states:
If the content of dest is equal to the constant space, then the addition DESTINATION is ignored and a normal call CALL FUNCTION func is executed.
Please note that you should not use the DESTINATION addition or use DESTINATION space. DESTINATION none will start the FM as an RFC in the same app server.

Executing remote function locally

Is there a way to execute a remote function locally.
Example
I have two database DB1,DB2.
I have a table tab1 in DB1 and fun1 in DB2
When i try to execute a query as below
select * from DB1
where fun1@dblinktodb2(c1,c2) not in (1,2,3,4,5)
it takes 1 and half hour to fetch all the results.
I created same function fun2 mimicing fun1@dblinktodb2
select * from DB1
where fun2(c1,c2) not in (1,2,3,4,5)
it takes 7 minutes.
we don't want to maintain two version of same function (ofcourse in this case fun1 is created by different team so we don't to have copy which can leave the code outdate )
Is there a way to execute fun1@dblinktodb2 locally.
Note fun1@dblinktodb2 doesnot uses any schema objects.

A function can only execute in the database in which it is defined. You could potentially automate the replication of that function to your local database so that you didn't have to manually maintain anything, but you would need a local copy of the function if you want it to execute on the local database.

What is the exact syntax for calling remote function module.

Hi to all
1.....what is the exact syntax for calling remote function module.?
Thanks and regards,
k.swaminath reddy

hi
good
Lets do simple example where you will first create a RFC in one server (say A) and create normal program in othere server (say B). Finally you will call the RFC in A from B.
Do the following steps for creating RFC in server A.
1. log on to server A
2. go to se37
3. Edit -> function groups-> create function group and give the function group name (say ZGRP).
4. create a FM ( say Z_TEST_RFC) in se37 providing the function group which is created just now.
5. go to attribute tab -> choose remote-enabled module from processing type.
so that your FM will become RFC.
6. provide the import parameter in import tab.
we will provide only two import parameters.
- parameter name : P_NUM1, typing: TYPE, associated type : I & check the pass value (all the parameters of RFC must pass by value).
- parameter name : P_NUM2, typing: TYPE, associated type : I & check the pass value
7. provide the export parameter in export tab.
parameter name : P_SUM, typing: TYPE, associated type : I & check the pass value
8. write the given simple code in source code tab.
FUNCTION Z_TEST_RFC.
P_TOT = P_NUM1 + P_NUM2.
ENDFUNCTION.
Do the following steps for creating ABAP program which will call the RFC in server B.
1. se38 - > creat a program.
2. write the given simple code.
data tot type i.
call function 'Z_TEST_RFC' destination 'XXXXXX'
exporting
p_num1 = 10
p_num2 = 15
importing
p_tot = tot.
write tot.
please note that XXXXXX is RFC connection which is avialable in sm59 transaction in server A.
-go to sm59 - > abap connection (list of RFC connection configurations are avialable). choose server B connection and replace it of XXXXXX in the code.
finally you can execute the normal abap program that will call the RFC and display the result.
reward point if helpful.

Local function calling remote function - error

Dear All
i have following remote function wich return some value from both methods ie.
1) select func1(variable, varialbe) from dual@remoteDB; working
2) select func1(variable, varialbe) from dual; -- by making a synonym at local
Now i create a local function funclocal calling remote functino i.e. func1 in this example as:
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION funclocal(locc varchar2, artnoo number)
RETURN NUMBER IS
query_str VARCHAR2(1000);
STKQTYY NUMBER;
artno number(10);
loc varchar2(80);
BEGIN
artno := artnoo;
loc := locc;
query_str := 'select func1(loc, artno) from dual ';
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE query_str
INTO STKQTYY;
RETURN STKQTYY;
END;
compiled successfully.
But when i run as:
SQL> select funclocal('abc', 469183) from dual;
select funclocal('@st3', 469183) from dual
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-00904: "ARTNO": invalid identifier
ORA-06512: at "funclocal", line 11
Please guide me.
Regards
Saeed

EXECUTE IMMEDIATE query_strAs Andreas states: Why are you using dynamic sql?
From what I see all you need is sth like
create or replace function funclocal (locc varchar2, artnoo number)
return number
is
begin
return func1 (locc, artnoo);
end funclocal ;
/even the whole concept of a »local« function seems suspicious. Why do you need that one?

Calling Remote function tool leads always to a logon screen

Hello,
I run an remote function tool in system A. In System B I run a report calling this function module.
Each time, I execute the report, a remote logon screen appears. It looks the same like the one you logon the system. You have to specifiy client, user and password.
I know one possibilty to avoid this logon screen appeaering.
System B (holding the function module) must declare System A as a trusted system. Thus, the user does not need to logon system B, each time calling the func. module. I processed this in correspondence with the help data, but the screen still appears.
Is there any other possibilty to avoid appearing the logon screen or does anybody know wheter I did something wring??
thanks, holger

Hi Holger,
1. This has to do with tcode SM59 (Maintain RFC Connections)
THE CALLING SYSTEM HAS NOT DEFINED
USER ID / PASSWORD TO LOGON TO THE TARGET SYSTEM.
HENCE, IT SHOWS BLANK LOGIN SCREEN
2. Under the node RFC Destinations ---> R/3 Connections,
various systems are defined for RFC Purpose.
3. Lets say ur system(which u want to connect) is PRD.
4. Double Click PRD and go the the details.
5. There are 3 Tabs. Goto LOGON/SECURITY TAB.
6. In the logon information , enter the
USERID and password and client.
7. Save.
Then try your program.
Hope this helps.

Amit Mittal.

Urgent: No data while calling remote function in custom widget.

Hi,
I created a function module with transaction se37 and in its attributes checked the 'Remote Enabled' radiobutton.
Now in my widget I called this remote function in my RFC view.
The data is not displayed in the widget and in debug mode error is displayed :
"Type error: data.root has no properties (RFCRequest .js: Line 102 )"
what is the reason for the error ?
or am I going wrong with remote function module call.

Calling syntactically incorrect remote function module triggers short dump

Hi,
I have some Z Function modules in ABC system and i need to call them remotely from XYZ.
There are some syntax errors in the FM's of ABC system so in the call of XYZ I am getting dump.
Can I know how to capture if there is any syntax error in the remote FM of ABC system from XYZ.
I have got FUNCTION_EXISTS to check the existence.
Can I have like that some other function to check the syntax?
Thanks,
Sham Sundher.

Hi,
Check if this link can be of any help.

Call remote function on a satellite system using RFC target sys option

Hi all,
I am on the Java stack and I would like to call the ABAP stack of a statellite system. I can create a JCo connection on this system directly but for security reason I am not allowed to do that. I would like to call this system through the ABAP stack of my machine (I am in dual stack environment).
- How can I use RFC target sys (available in SE37 for Remote-Enabled functions) with my JCo connection?
- Or, is there a generic function which can call all other functions on a remote system (still using RFC target sys)?
Many thanks,
Stephan

Siddhesh - thank you for the link; the blogs by Thomas are required reading as far as I am concerned.
Hi Raja;
 do you mean another ABAP system (was6.40)?
and from here using another FM you call the 4.6c
system RFC ?
Yes, that is what we are doing. We are calling a web service from an Intranet form to the 6.40 system that, in turn will call the 4.6C system and pass the data back to the Intranet form (through 6.40)
 may be you could pass the RFC destination as import
parameter to the 6.40 RFC and use the same will the
call to 4.6C RFC from the 6.40 RFC
That would work, but it would be more beneficial to just use the function module on the 6.40 system as a proxy to the function on 4.6c and not have to enter code in it each time.
I had thought of writing just one function module in the 6.40 system that could dynamically call any different function module in 4.6c (based on the input parameters), but since were are trying to accomplish SOA, we need visiblity to each web service (ergo function module).
If it's not possible, that is OK I am just hoping someone had found a way to pull this off.
Thanks!

Webdynpro/abap portal unable to call Remote functions?? HELP

Scenario:
webdynpro/abap system A talks to system B.
webdynpro Abap has a call as
call function 'BAPI_FLIGHT_GETLIST'
destination 'RFCB'....
At "A"
created SSL Server for https, created certificate request and imported it from SAPtest ticket.
imported certificates for the SSL from "mySAP" and "Server CA" downloaded from sap site
enabled the ACLs for the above 2 certificates on client '000"
The browser's http proxy tool shows that after login to system A with Http, further requests go through RFC destination to system B, called RFCB.
RFCB config to systemB as a specific user, everything is fine.
However, if RFCB is set to 'current user', it does not work.
So, SSO ticket is not used to login to system B, I guess.
How to set up the RFCB. If I change to 'trusted system', I get RFC authentication error. The sdn shows to setup S_RFC auth object into user profice with PFCG.
Can you help?
Thanks.

Hi ,
I have used RFC's couple of time in WebDynpro ABAP .As I am doing WD Application for SRM where I require to fetch data from other R/3 servers .
Now do you want something like this . You will pass some parameters to RFC and based on that will updates data in that Remote R/3 and Also send results that you want show over WebDynpro Application .
Please see thread below .See that help you or not.

Call Remote Function Module with SAEURI dataelement as Export parameter

Hi Experts, Am creating a program in a Gateway system, where i need to call a FM from HR system.
My Code is like this,
Data: lname(20) type c,
lv_url type SEAURI.
Call 'Z_EMP_GET' Destination 'HR_DEST'
Exporting
Pernr = '12345678'
Importing
lname = lv_lname
Url = lv_url.
At HR Destination system, I have a FM 'Z_EMP_GET ' with signature as
Importing : Pernr Type NUMC
Exporting : lname Type Char20
Url Type SAEURI(Char 4096).
When i debugged it, I see the Remote FM is getting Perner value and returning only lname, but URL paramter is empty.
I believe i have problem in receiving Long Text (URL - Char 4096).
How can i handle this and let me know if need to specify String length parameter for RFC call somewhere.
Also let me know if need more details
Thanks in advance.
Thanks in advance.

Hi naveenraj,
I don't know which type of URL you want in output but you can check entries in table HTTPURLLOC and or if you want URL of employee photo then you have to use this FM HRWPC_RFC_EP_READ_PHOTO_URI.

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:

Hi,

when I tried to execute the followingin XMLQuery by calling TO_CHAR() whithin this query I am getting this error"ORA-19237: XP0017 - unable to resolve call to function - fn:TO_CHARTO_CHAR is a SQL function, XQuery is unaware of it.
XPath 2.0 specifications define a fn:format-date function but Oracle has not included yet in its XQuery implementation.
Easiest way to go is A_Non's solution, but if you need to format at multiple places in the query, you can declare a local XQuery function.
For example, to format to "DD/MM/YYYY" from the canonical xs:date format "YYYY-MM-DD" :
{code}
declare function local:format-date($d as xs:date) as xs:string
let $s := xs:string($d)
return concat(
substring($s, 10, 2), "/",
substring($s, 7, 2), "/",
substring($s, 2, 4)
{code}
and an example of use :
{code}
SQL> CREATE TABLE test_xqdate AS SELECT sysdate dt FROM dual;
Table created
SQL> SELECT *
2 FROM XMLTable(
3 'declare function local:format-date($d as xs:date) as xs:string
4 {
5 let $s := xs:string($d)
6 return concat(
7 substring($s, 10, 2), "/",
8 substring($s, 7, 2), "/",
9 substring($s, 2, 4)
10 )
11 }; (: :)

Calling supply function

Hi
Can we call supply function explicitly in any other method of the view using wd_this->supply function name( ) ?.
In case the supply function is local to the view and when it is defined in component controller ?

hi vishal........
      you cannot call supply function explicitly.......
      what you can do is.... invalidate the node that has the supply function. so the supply function will be called again.

Call oracle function in ODI

I am new to ODI. I need to call a function created on the database which return a value. In ODI I created a variable. In the select (of the variable) I don't know how to call the source table value that needs to be passed to the function.
My oracle function:
create or replace function return_timeid(trans_date in date)
return number is
Result number;
v_trans_date varchar2(30) := to_char(trans_date, 'dd-mon-rrrr hh24miss');
v_hour number := 0;
v_min number := 0;
begin
v_hour := substr(v_trans_date, 13, 2);
v_min := substr(v_trans_date, 15, 2);
case
when v_min between 1 and 30 then
result := (v_hour * 100) + 30;
when v_min = 0 then
result := v_hour * 100;
when v_min > 30 then
result := (v_hour + 1) * 100;
end case;
-- convert 2400 to 0000
if result = 2400 then
result := 0;
elsif result = 2430 then
result := 30;
end if;
return result;
end return_timeid;
The result will be a time ID, depending on the source record value in the source table. How do I keep the time ID in the variable that I created.
This is the select in my variable (Time_ID):
SELECT BIUSER.return_timeid(GPRS_HOME_CDRS.CALL_DATE_DT) FROM dual
this is my error:
904 : 42000 : java.sql.SQLException: ORA-00904: "GPRS_HOME_CDRS"."CALL_DATE_DT": invalid identifier
Regards

I tried to call the function in the mapping. My code:
biuser.return_timeid(GPRS_HOME_CDRS.CALL_DATE_DT)
but then I get the ORA-00936 (missing expression)
