Error in RFC Receiver Adapter: functiontemplate from repository was null

Hi Friends,
i am working on JDBC -> RFC Scenario, JDBC Sender Adapter is working fine, but RFC Receiver Adapter is throwing this error message... can some one help me to solve this issue...
Message processing failed. Cause: com.sap.aii.af.ra.ms.api.RecoverableException: error while processing message to remote system:com.sap.aii.af.rfc.core.client.RfcClientException: functiontemplate from repository was <null>: com.sap.aii.af.rfc.afcommunication.RfcAFWException: error while processing message to remote system:com.sap.aii.af.rfc.core.client.RfcClientException: functiontemplate from repository was <null>
Thanks

Hi,
I think the logon details what you are giving in Receiver CC may be wrong. Check all those details like Application Server,System Number,User,Password and client.
Thanks.

Possible reasons are
The XML document, which was send to the RfcAdapter, is not a RFC-XML document. So the root element name of this document is not the name of a function module and thus can't be found in the metadata repository.
The metadata repository doesn't contain an entry for this function module name. Normally the metadata repository will be an R/3 system and it's function module repository can be searched with transaction code SE37.
Here my suggestion is, if you are using Java/xslt mapping, write your code in line with result structure of your mapping instead source pay load structure. May be helpful.

I have already come across SAP note 730870 but it didn't help.
Any suggestion?
Many thanks,

Hi all,
I have found the problem.
The mapping to the RFC request was not creating the correct namespace prefix in the root xml element.
I have downloaded the file rfcnormalizer.jar from SAP note 730870 and used it in my interface mapping. It solved the problem.

RfcClientException: functiontemplate from repository was null

HI All,
I am doing the File to RFC, the file was picked from FTP but data is not loaded into target sytem. When i have checked the Communication chennal for receiver (RFC) its showing this msg

HI Venkat.
Please Refer SAP Note: 730870. Q16.
Fyr from SAP Note:
>Q 16: While sending a message to the RfcAdapter the error "... functiontemplate from repository was ><null>" is shown. Which reasons are possible?
>
>A: After receiving a message from the Adapter Engine, the RfcAdapter extracts the payload from the message. Normally this should be an XML document in the RFC-XML format. In this format the root element of the XML document represents the name of the function module and is enclosed in the fixed RFC namespace 'urn:sap-com:document:sap:rfc:functions'. But this only will be checked at a later >point, when the conversion from XML to native RFC is done. As prerequisite of this conversion the structures and types of the function module parameters has to be known. This is also called metadata or function template. To get this function template the name of the function module is extracted from the root element of the XML document and is queried against the metadata repository of the communication channel. If the metadata repository doesn't have a function module with this name, the exception named above is thrown. Possible reasons are

Functiontemplate from repository was null BAPI_ROUTING_CREATE

Hi all,
i'm trying to set up communication between a third party sistem and R3 via XI. I'm using BAPI_ROUTING_CREATE but , when i send the XML message (you can read it below),   the rfc adapter starts this exception:
Delivery of the message to the application using connection RFC_http://sap.com/xi/XI/System failed, due to: com.sap.aii.af.ra.ms.api.RecoverableException: error while processing message to remote system:com.sap.aii.af.rfc.core.client.RfcClientException: functiontemplate from repository was <null>: com.sap.aii.af.rfc.afcommunication.RfcAFWException: error while processing message to remote system:com.sap.aii.af.rfc.core.client.RfcClientException: functiontemplate from repository was <null>.
I'm sure that the bapi is defined into the R3 system, i checked via se37, and the Communication channel for the BAPI is set properly since it works with other bapis.
May be someone can help me?

Error in RFC Receiver adapter

Hi,
I am trying to send data into sap R/3 system from SAP XI 3.0 and I am using RFC adapter for this purpose. When I configured the receiver RFC adapter I am getting the following error in SXMB_MONI:
No receiver agreement found for sender ,FILESYS to receiver ,IDS47800,urn:sap-com:document:sap:rfc:functions,BAPI_MATERIAL_SAVEDATA
Please help us as we are stuck at this Juncture in a very important assignment.
Thanks and Regards,
Anil Kumar Damodara

Hi Anil,
1.Check whether the receiver agreement is properly configured with the "RFC_Receiver" communication channel.
2.Check whether the same Receiver agreement("RFC_Receiver" communication channel) is set in the receiver determination configuration.
check out my article "Validating a Connection Between SAP R/3 and SAP XI with RFC"

Receiver RFC error- RfcClientException: functiontemplate from repository wa

Hi All,
I am in an R/3(IDOC) - XI - 3rd party(File) scenario. Need to do a lookup to R/3 from XI before file is sent to 3rd party system.
For RFC, I followed various blogs( currently using Michaels blog https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/a03e7b02-eea4-2910-089f-8214c6d1b439 )
However I get the error in RWB:
"Error in processing caused by: com.sap.aii.af.rfc.afcommunication.RfcAFWException: error while processing message to remote system:com.sap.aii.af.rfc.core.client.RfcClientException: functiontemplate from repository was <null>"
Came across note : 730870 and it talks of metadata refresh. So I reimported the function module into IR, reactivated the comm channel but still the same error.
Do you guys have any idea why it could be happening.
To sum up,for RFC lookup I have created
1. RFC enabled FM in R/3
2. Comm Channel in ID
3. UDF (supplied the above comm channel and Buss syst name here and FM xml signature)
4. Used the UDF in existing Message mapping
( I have not created any separate Interface mappings for this...is it OK)
( My RFC function module will return a single field, but when I import RFC FM in IR, I do not see the return field, it has only the FM incoming fields...is that OK.....??? )
Any help/pouinters are welcome
Many thanks
Shirin

Hi Praveen,
Yes its an R/3 - XI - 3rd Party scenario.
To cut the story short, I am doing lookup to R/3 Due to some file sequencing requirements. This is the only option left as getting this data in the IDOC initially didnt help.
As you have pointed, can you help let me know how can I correct it in the UDF. (I am a javao novice, so appreciate if you could help me with it)
I have attached the UDF code below.
Many thanks

RFC Receiver Adapter Issue

Hi all,
I'm sending a sales order from my ftp server to my R/3 system through RFC. I want this sales order to be created in the R/3 system, For this i'm using BAPI_SALESORDER_CREATEFROMDAT2. Now when i'm configuring my RFC Receiver adapter using the help given on the help.sap.com under "adapters"->"rfc adapter"-> "configuring the rfc adapter", i'm not able to find the parameters mentioned under " Advanced Mode" Heading. In this page, it says that after checking the Advanced mode checkbox, one should get the additional parameters and then we need to set the indicater for the parameter "Commit Control for Individual BAPI Calls". Since i'm not able to find these parameters even after checking the chekbox, i'm stuck. I understand that if i don't get this parameter, my BAPI will not commint and hence the sales order will not be created in R/3.
Kindly suggest.
Regards.
Naveen

Hi Naveen -
>>><i>In this page, it says that after checking the Advanced mode checkbox, one should get the additional parameters and then we need to set the indicater for the parameter "Commit Control for Individual BAPI Calls". Since i'm not able to find these parameters even after checking the chekbox, i'm stuck.</i>
For this I agree with Sameer. It's probably an adapter metadata issue. As mentioned your XI system needs to be at least on SP14. Also, in the Int. Repository, check SAP BASIS 6.40 SWC SP Level by right clicking on the SAP BASIS 6.40 SWCV, then Display Support Package - this is where the adapter metatdata is delivered. By default, the highest one displayed is wha'ts current on the system. You should see at least SP14 here. Incidentally, this does not confirm the SP level that the rest of the XI components are on, just this SWC.
>>><i>When i checked in the integration engine, transaction sxmb_moni, i found that the message was processed successfully ! But when i checked in my R/3 system, i didn't find any sales order ! Kindly give me some inputs for this issue.</i>
It probably failed in the adapter engine. Check the adapter engine monitor via the RWB - so once in RWB, goto Message Monitoring, select Adapter Engine (important), then look for your message.

RFC Receiver Adapter and RFC Destination -- Help

Hi,
I would like to configure the RFC Receiver Adapter for the invokation of a RFC on SAP System (Name: ALPHA) using a RFC destination provided by another system named BETA.
I have set External Server as server type.
My first question is: I have to quote an application server gateway and a gateway service. Is this information related to a service on ALPHA or BETA?
My second question is:
It is also necessary to provide a Programm-ID. The destination on BETA is a R/3 connection and doesn't have a programm id. Where do I get this from?
And my last question is:
Is at all possible to use the RFC destination on BETA?
Any help is really appreciated...
Kind regards,
Heiko

Hi Heiko,
I don't fully understand your need but:)
since both of your systems are SAP systems
why are you trying to use external server?
can't you just call RFC on BETA
and inside this RFC on beta call RFC on ALPHA?
in a sync or async way?
can you tell a little more about your requirement ?

RFC Receiver Adapter Problem- Sending Blank XML Node

Hi,
I'm using the RFC receiver adapter to call a RFC in R/3 from XI 3.0
In the payload XML one node is blank as I want to pass a blank parameter to the RFC. But in R/3 the blank node is getting converted to #
Can anyone suggest how can I pass a blank node while calling the RFC using RFC receiver adapter in XI 3.0?
Thanks in advance,
Dipankar

Hey
Please check the outbound payload in sxmb_moni and RWB,if the field is blank there,then it means that PI is passing correct value to ECC.its possible that RFC has been coded in such a way that it converts blank spaces to #.Please look at RFC documentation in that case and see if it helps more.
If the outbound payload itself in PI is showing as # instead of blank,then check the message mapping in PI.
Thanx

Dynamic Logon Data in RFC receiver adapter?

Does someone know if and how the logon data (userid) defined in the communication channel for a RFC receiver adapter can be dynamic overwritten? For example using information from the payload?
Scenario: A request for getting HR data is send from a legacy system to XI, mapped to a RFC and routed to R3.
The audit people want to see a real user login into the R3 system to execute the function module and not the technical user defined in the communication channel.

That's exactly what principal propagation is.
You just have to make some (quite a lot, actually) configurations to enable it.
Check these links:
