Get interface of RFC function modules in a remote system
Hi,
my goal is to write a report which checks if DDIC structures in two systems fit together when I use RFC`s.
I have the destination and the name of the RFC.
Can somebody tell me if I can get a list of the Importing/Exporting Parameters of this RFC? Maybe even with a typedescribtion?
Thanks for you help.
Best regards
Lars

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 ????
Thanks

Calling RFC function module in other SAP system...
Hi,
I have a report on one SAP system and a function module on other system. The function module is RFC enabled. How can I call this RFC enabled function module from other SAP system in the report which is different SAP ?
system.
Thanks.
Regards,
Rajesh.call the function module in orginal system in se38 ,copy the function module ,paste the function module in other system,and maintain destination here ,otherwise you will get short dump.
here detination should be SM59 destination,this is case sensitive.
Reward Points if it is helpful
Thanks

Facing Problem with RFC Function Module
Hi,
I have created an RFC function module to get some data in table format.
I have run the RFC in original system: It is giving the data.
However, when I run this in target system, It is not giving any values.
Could you please let me know, why it happens? I am not sure where I missed out.
Thanks,
SandeepHI,
i hope you are calling the RFC function module in the target system like this
CALL FUNCTION <FUNC NAME> DESTINATION <DESTINATION NAME> . The destination should be logical system name of the source Logical system .

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

Collection problem with RFC function module WSDL.
Hi.
I have developed an RFC function module in a SAP system version 4.7 (WAS 620). This FM has 2 table parameters. I have no problem when I see the WSDL in the SAP Web Service Browser.
Another team is trying to consume this RFC FM as a web service from a Java application but they say they can't see the table parameters as collections.
Here is the WSDL of the FM, the table parameters are T_MOVIM and T_ERROR:

Should I change something in the definition of the parameters of the FM? or the problem is with the parsing process on the other system?
Thanks in advance.
Fabian.Welcome to SDN.
I am not sure about this particular issue, but i have used WSDL from WAS6.20 system in MS Office infopath to consume webservice where we have had table parameters without any issue.
may be try with office infopath to make sure that the problem is with the WSDL or with the java application.

RFC Function module's where used list
Dear Experts,
I have a situation where in I need to change certain parameters/ the logic of an RFC function module. but before making the changes to the function module I need to know where this function module is used in various systems. So can some one tell me a way to find the where used list of an RFC function module in the calling system.
Thanks
-AmitIt could be called from anywhere, theoretically, SAP or non-SAP environments.
I hope you can rely on good documentation in your organization to find the potential callers, as each call must have been consciously implemented at some point.
Also check with system administrators who might have a means to study trace logs for information on calling systems.
Thomas
P.S. the hard way would be to just do the change and see who complains later on -

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,
AaronHello,
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. -
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.
Cheers,

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,
NarenHi,
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.. -
Calling RFC Function module from JAVA
Hi All,
We have created a RFC Function Module for Billing Plan tab in Sales order (BDC). The function Module contains BDC. When we are running the same function module in SAP it is working fine. But when the FM is called in Java , it is allowing only maximum of 5 entries , when we trying to insert at 6th position in billing plan tab, we are getting an error.
Can any one help on this.
Points will be rewarded for helpful answers.
Thanks & Regards,
Kiran II think the problem is because of the number of lines displayed on the screen in the BDC session in the Billing Plan.
You might have to add the page down logic to your BDC program. -
Call RFC Function Module in R/3 via XI during Mapping
Hi,
I have an XI scenario where I have to fill the IDoc ADRMAS03 in XI and send it to R/3. Unfortunately the sender system does not provide the required address number (ADRNR) for the Business Partner, only the Business Partner number. Therefore I want to call a Function Module in R/3 during the mapping in order to get the ADRNR.
Does anybody know which RFC-Function Module I can call in R/3 4.6c providing the Busness Partner number in order to get the ADRNR?
Thanks.
AlexHi,
no need for RFC lookup it's better to do as he wants
(inside an exit in R3) - just my point of view
BTW
don't use a FM just find a table with both values
and create a select statement youself

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..
