Exception error_message in rfc function module

Hi all,
I am getting a short dump Raise exception in my R/3 system when calling a RFC function module in R/3 for printing a label in LOFTWARE. The error analysis shows the that exception condition 'Nlink exception' condition raised . The rfc destination is working fine and also i have included the predefined exceptions system_failure and communication_failure and also I have used RFC_PING function module before calling teh rfc for printing . Yet it is giving short dump.
I heard that if we include one more exception error_message with return code 99
ie exceptions
    system_failure = 1
    communictaion_failure = 2
    error_message = 99. there will be no short dump.
Can anyone explain me why the return code for exception error_message is not 3 but 99 and also what is the significance of this.
Need your help.

from dump no information is available also it last occured 5 days ago so refreshed from our system..
I want to know what is the importance of the return code 99 here...
can anyone clarify this concept and aslo genrally in rfc exception handling communication_failure and system_failure can handle all type of exceptions then why error_message exception is added with a return code of 99..

Problem with RFC function module from R/3 to CRM

Hi, i have a RFC function module created in R/3, this is the code:
function Z_CRM_PRODUCTO_INTERLOCUTOR.
""Interfase local
*" IMPORTING
*"     VALUE(GV_VKORG) TYPE VKORG
*"     VALUE(GV_VTWEG) TYPE VTWEG
*"     VALUE(GV_MATNR) TYPE MATNR
*"     VALUE(GV_KUNNR) TYPE KUNNR_V
*" EXPORTING
*"     VALUE(GV_KDMAT) TYPE MATNR_KU
*"     VALUE(GV_POSTX) TYPE KDPTX
*" EXCEPTIONS
*"      NOT_FOUND
UNPACK GV_MATNR TO GV_MATNR.
UNPACK GV_KUNNR TO GV_KUNNR.
select single KDMAT POSTX
          into (GV_KDMAT, GV_POSTX) from KNMT
          where   VKORG = GV_VKORG
                  and VTWEG = GV_VTWEG
                  and KUNNR = GV_KUNNR
                  and MATNR = GV_MATNR.
IF sy-subrc <> 0.
    RAISE NOT_FOUND.
ENDIF.
endfunction.
When i call this function from CRM, i do it like this:
CALL FUNCTION 'Z_CRM_PRODUCTO_INTERLOCUTOR'
DESTINATION LV_RFCDEST
EXPORTING
    GV_VKORG = lv_vkorg
    GV_VTWEG = ORGMAN_H-DIS_CHANNEL
    GV_MATNR = ORDERADM_I_WRK-ORDERED_PROD
    GV_KUNNR = WA_DATOS_PER-N_PAGADOR
IMPORTING
    GV_POSTX = IT_POS_LINE-DESCRIPCION
    GV_KDMAT = IT_POS_LINE-material
EXCEPTIONS
    not_found = 1.
where:
it_pos_line-descripcion type string
it_pos_line-material type string.
Well, my problem is that when debugging, in R/3 the 2 return values have the correct value, but when they are passed to CRM they have only one position.
As i've been told, it was working ok, but it's being wrong since we made a ¿conversion to unicode?. Maybe I should change the type of return ???
Thanks in advance !!!

Hello Maria,
Make sure you define your parameters in CRM exactly the same way as in R3, do not use type string here.
So:
it_pos_line-descripcion type C char 40,
it_pos_line-material type C length 35.
Kind regards,
John.

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 call error

Hi Abaper,
I'm doing upgrade from 4.7 to ecc 6.0 currently and encounter problem in one of the rfc function module that we used. I've tested the connection to destination using sm59 and the connection is successful.
As an information, in the rfc setting, the target system is not Unicode system.
When I test using se37 and put the rfc destination in my function module call, I always encountered system_error exception. There's no issue with this rfc call before in 4.7 system.
Please help me on this. Thank you.
Edited by: Abraham Bukit on Sep 3, 2008 2:36 AM

Hi,
I had the same issue in the past and solved it in the following way.
If the destination system is not Unicode please try to set the password for the communication user set in SM59 using only upper-case characters and taking into account that the password shouldn't be longer than 8 characters.
Hope this will help.

Message text available in java using RFC function module

Hello,
I wrote a function module with the ABAP statement
MESSAGE .... RAISING PARAMETER_ERROR
The java developer gets the PARAMETER_ERROR but no
message text.
Is the any way (e.g. exception class) to get the message text also.
Thanks

hi Michael,
In the RFC function module use the table RETURN of type BAPIRET2 and instead of raising the error append the error in RETURN. later in your java code you can read this table RETURN and retrieve the error along with the error text.
Hope this helps.

Richa.

Connection closed message by RFC function module.

Hi experts,
I have an RFC function module where I have no own exception defined. I use 'standard' ones.
EXCEPTIONS
communication_failure = 1 MESSAGE ls_proto-message
system_failure = 2 MESSAGE ls_proto-message
Inside this FM I do update of database table using MODIFY dbtab statement.
In some cases I get exception 'Conection closed' as a message.
Does anybody know what this message means?
Could it be temporary connection failure or timeout by table update?
Thanks a lot.

HI,
then it is a temporary failure ..when u get this message ..what u can do is GOTO SM59->try to do a test connection with the destination logical system(Other Sap system)..see if u r able to login...If u r able to login then the RFC connection is fine otherwise we need to check in detail in which cases we are getting the error..

Error in RFC Function module

Hi Expert,
I am facign very strenge problem in the RFC function module.
I have passed the paramters to the RFC function module and getting the result back into the table paramters.
HWen i am trying to execute the RFC function module in the destination system , i am getting the result in the table paramerts.
but when i am trying to excute the same uising program then i am not getting the same result in the table pramters , value of sy-subrc is also 0 . and there is no dump in the source and destination system. not sure why this is not able to get the result.

Hello,
Can you please post the actual ABAP code that calls the RFC? Are you checking for the standard RFC exceptions?
Also have you manually tested the RFC in SE37, using the same RFC destination? (ie test it in the source system, calling the target system). This is to make sure that there are no communication issues.
cheers

Hi
Instead Of giving write statement inside a function module
write these statement where this rfc is called.
if rfc connection is established ,then

otherwise not.

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:
Pls. reward if useful

Call RFC Function Module and return 1000 records at a time

I would like to call a Remote Enabled Function Module from a non SAP system. This function module will select data from the database and return it to the calling program.
Suppose there are 100,000 records that need to be returned, but the calling module would like the data in chunks of 1000 records. Therefore the calling program would call the FM 100 times.
How do I code the function module to know on each subsequent call to grab the next chunk of 1000 records?
Let me know if additional information is needed.
Thanks,
Aaron

Hello,
Here is how you can go for this issue:
1. Create one RFC function module with following parameter. These parameters are with respective of chunking logic.
     Import: Package Size
     Export: Total number of records
     Changing: chunk count
Implement following logic:
1. First of you need to know how many chunks you need to fetch for that get the count of total number of records. This is one
    time activity so you better maintain one flag import parameter will be set to 'X' only first call.
2. Get the number of chunk using total number of records / chunk size for e.g. 1000 / 100 so chunk count = 10.
3. Define internal chunk counter in function module which will be used to locate the correct chunk depending on the chunk
    counter value sent from calling program.
4. Send first call with package size 100 and chunk count = 1, execute select statement and increment internal
    chunk count check if chunk count = internal chunk count in current case chunk count = 1 so exit select statement and return
    with first chunk.
5. Send second call with package size 100 and chunk count = 2. Execute select statement and check chunk count with internal
    chunk counter, in current case it will be 1 so skip that data and go for next chunk of 100 records increment internal chunk
    counter. In this case it will match with external chunk count = 2. load output table with that data and return to calling program.
6. Repeat step 4 until you reach last chunk.
You need to use SELECT...ENDSELECT with PACKAGE SIZE addition so for every loop it will return number of records mentioned in package size.
Hope this helps.
Thanks,
Augustin.

Using RFC Function Module to send data to NON SAP Application

Hi friends,
Please guide me how can I send data from SAP -> Dotnet Applcation using Dotnet Connector through RFC function module from SAP side. In my scenerio, I Run Z transaction to executte RFC function module which create some data to pass to dotnet connector.
Regards,
Rajesh Kumar

Hi,
You can make use of Dotnet connector to read the content of SAP RFC .. (eaiest of all)
The RFC can be executed using connector , and can read the data simultaneously.. u need to code in dotnet for this..
else create a webservice and read it from dot net ..

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

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.

Problem while calling an RFC Function Module in Background

Hello,
I have created a RFC function module for reading data from an external DB system. The FM calls an external RFC program (coded in C++ using RFC SDK), which delivers the required data. This external program is maintainged as an TCP RFC Connection in SM59.
Further I have created a report, that calls the RFC function module to get the data from the external RFC programm.
My problem is, when I call the report in foreground, everything works OK, the RFC connection works and data can be read from the external program.
However, when I schedule the report to run in background as a job, the report is stating in the protocoll that there was a problem calling the defined RFC connection (although the connection is working properly at that time).
More funny is, this particular problem with running in background occurs only in the productive system, in test and development system the report works correctly also while running as a job in background.
Can you suggest the solution to this problem? Could it be something with authorisations or server settings?
I will be on holiday for the next 6 weeks, so take your time to answer .
Regards,
Dusan.
Edited by: Julius Bussche on Jan 22, 2009 7:19 PM
Please read the forum rules about u r g e n t ...

This is an external RFC server program, not a remote enabled ABAP RFC function module as the others seem to be assuming, right?
Is it possible that your DEV and QAS systems only have one application server, but the PROD has many and dedicated one(s) for processing low priority background jobs?
It might be that the target server of your TCP connection is not this BTC instance, and your RFC server is returning the data "locally" - so, into nirvana...
Just guessing, but might be worth checking.

Julius
