NetWeaver RFC SDK for AIX

Hello!
I'm looking for the new NetWeaver RFC SDK for AIX 5.3 (64bit) for compiling the sapnwrfc perl module.
According the following note it should be available: https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1025361
However i can not find a downloadable file in the service marketplace.
Is the AIX version not available right now?
thanks in advance
Willi

Hi again,
the Sap note I've mentioned in the original post is not the right one. The correct Sap note is 1025361 "Supported platforms for the NetWeaver RFC library and SDK".
Sorry.

SAP Netweaver RFC SDK bindings for Node.js

Hi all,
I have just completed a first version of bindings to the SAP Netweaver RFC SDK for [Node.js|www.nodejs.org].
You are encouraged to inspect and download the source code on [https://github.com/jdorner/node-sapnwrfc|https://github.com/jdorner/node-sapnwrfc]. For further convenience, I have also supplied a package for use with the node package manager (npm). Nevertheless, you will have to download the SAP NW RFC SDK beforehand. Thus, you should carefully read the README on GitHub for more detailed instructions.
Please let me know if you have problems installing/compiling the module. At the moment it has only been tested on a x86_64 linux platform.
Regards,
Joachim

Thanks Mike,
For example we want to executie Function Module and need to prepare/allocate TABLE parameter.
In doing so we need to invoke function RfcGetStructureDescHandle is described in doc.
However, we cannot find it anywhere in H files under SAP NW SDK 7.10 dir structure.
Do you have an example of how to create a TABLE parameter (export for example).
We are going to reproduce the symptom with the demo source distributed with the SDK.
Any help/suggestions is greatly appreciated,
Alfonso

RfcSetTraceDir does not exist in Netweaver RFC SDK

Hi there,
the classic RFC library (C++) has a method called RfcResetTraceDir().
This method seems not be available in Netweaver RFC SDK for C++
Even the method
DECL_EXP RFC_RC SAP_API RfcSetTraceDir ( SAP_UC * traceDir,
RFC_ERROR_INFO * errorInfo
can not be found as reported in the doxygen documentation at [SDN|https://websmp202.sap-ag.de/~form/sapnet?_SHORTKEY=01100035870000719290]
Please tell me how to set the trace path in Netweaver RFC SDK (C).
TIA,
Andi

Crash in SAP NetWeaver RFC SDK DLL

Hello community,
I have a problem with the SAP NetWeaver RFC SDK. Once in a while I get a crash with such error message:
Unhandled exception at 0x000007FEF1D3DD6E (sapnwrfc.dll) in bridgeserver.exe.22108.dmp: 0xC0000005: Access violation reading location 0x0000000000000008.
Basically I get function metadata, set the call parameters using the API calls and call RfcInvoke. It crashes. The callstack is:
sapnwrfc.dll!000007fef1d3dd6e()
sapnwrfc.dll!000007fef1d56613()
msvcr80.dll!_CallSettingFrame ()
msvcr80.dll!__CxxCallCatchBlock ()
ntdll.dll!RcConsolidateFrames ()
sapnwrfc.dll!000007fef1d5653a()
sapnwrfc.dll!000007fef1d2c4f7()
call RfcInvoke from my code
I've got the call stack from one of the two crash dumps I've got. I took a look on the registers and assembly of the top frame and it looks like an indirect acces to a field of a structure but the pointer to structure is NULL.
Is there any way I can debug it further? I'm already pretty sure that the parameters to RfcInvoke are correct (no messed-up pointers).

Thanks Mike,

RFC SDK for Solaris 8 on SPARC 32 bit

I see that there is no support for Solaris 8 on SPARC 32 Bit. Is this true or has support been discontinued.
Any suggestions or pointers are appreciated.
Thanks
Aju

Hi Aju,
With SAP NetWeaver 7.1, the SAP NetWeaver RFC Library only supports 64bit for SUN. You can find more information you can see the SAP note 1025361 and at http://service.sap.com/connectors --> SAP NetWeaver RFC Library.
Cheers,

NW RFC SDK: No more human-readable RFC error messages?

I'm converting my program from the classic RFC SDK to the NetWeaver one.
Apparently, the RFC_ERROR_INFO.message value is no longer filled with the proper human-readable error message as it used to be.
Eaxmple: trying to create a function description for a non-existant function
Classic SDK: "Function module "Z_MYFUNC" not found."
NetWeaver SDK: "ID:FL Type:E Number:046 Z_MYFUNC"
I don't see how to get the old message back. Can anyone help? Thanks!

May be the patch 1 have solved this issue already.

RFC SDK download

I'm a newbie and purchased ABAP Objects book that has mini-basis system. Is there a way for me to get a copy of the RFC SDK so I can interface programs to my mini-basis system without having purchased a real system? I know there is a service marketplace but registering requires a customer number. 'Initial' is the customer number for a mini-basis system but the site won't accept that.

Hello,
you can get it via the SAP Service Marketplace (SMP). Please have a look at these links:

NetWeaver RFC and IPv6

One of the main benefits with the new-ish NetWeaver RFC SDK over its older librfc sibling is that the newer has support for IPv6 according to<a href="https://websmp101.sap-ag.de/~form/sapnet?_SHORTKEY=01100035870000701311&">the connectors page</a>
Based on my limited understanding of IPv6 compliant development, one has to move away from using the old IPv4 APIs such as gethostbyname() and its peers and instead use the IPv6-aware getaddrinfo()
I'm on WinXP x64 and I'm dumpbin'ing sapnwrfc.dll to see what it's importing from the windows socket implementation (still in ws2_32.dll) and was somewhat surprised to see that the ostensibly IPv6 capable NW RFC still only imports IPv4 APIs and not getaddrinfo().
It's of course possible to dynamically bind to that API and it wouldn't show up in dumpbin's output, but I would consider that unlikely.
Am I missing something? Has anyone verified that the NW RFC works in a pure IPv6 environment?
Thanks,
/Henrik

Thanks Benny for your prompt response. That is of course a rather safe assumption.
I'm still not sure why the x64 version (that doesn't have to work with Win2000 and its questionable IPv6 support) of sapnwrfc.dll still appears to be using old IPv4 socket APIs and does not appear to be using getaddrinfo().
getaddrinfo() works with both protocols and gethostbyname() etc are not capable of handling IPv6.
Thoughts?
Cheers,
/Henrik

RFC SDK Functionality

Currently I am investigating the feasibility of introducing a SAP coupling in our middleware product.
We want to use the RFC SDK to achieve this.
Therefore I have some questions about the functionality of this interface:
1. Is it possible to retrieve data from a SAP system using this interface?
2. Is it possible to retrieve 'all changes since a certain timestamp' using this interface?
3. Is it possible to retrieve a list of all objects /tables in the system?
4. Is it possible to perform a 'describe' of an object (what attributes does it have? what keys?).
Thanks!
Simon

NW RFC SDK: RFC_INVALID_PARAMETER from RfcGetFunctionDesc

I'm trying to use function RfcGetFunctionDesc from NW RFC SDK for two custom, RFC-enabled functions in SAP. In one case it works all right. But when I try for the second one I get error 20 (RFC_INVALID_PARAMETER). The only thing I change in code is the function name.
What might be the reason why RfcGetFunctionDesc returns error 20 (RFC_INVALID_PARAMETER)? Are the limitations on types of export/import/table parameters or exceptions of function so that it could be inspected by RfcGetFunctionDesc

Problem solved: some standard table data types appear as not Unicode compatible. They make RfcGetFunctionDesc to raise this error. Solution: use other types or create your own from scratch.

Where can I download SDK for netweaver

The DVDs I have contains SDK for classical RFC (librfc32.dll, librfc32.lib and saprfc.h). I wish to use netweaver RFC (sapnwrfc.dll, sapnwrfc.lib and sapnwrfc.h). Can anyone point me to the location where I can get the netweaver SDK?

Note 1025361 gives instructions on where to download NW RFC SDK from. The note also says the binaries are available for "Windows x86 32bit (Versions: Windows Server 2003)" platform.
But when I went to the download center, the binaries for "Windows x86 32bit (Versions: Windows Server 2003)" is not listed. Does anyone know where I can get the binaries for Windows x86_32bit?

Getting metadata for RFCs using RFC SDK (with position of parameters)

Hi!
I'm currently using the RFC SDK Function "RfcGetFunctionInfoAsTable" to retrieve metadata for RFCs from SAP. What i see is that the "Position" field in the RFC_FIELDS_U structure contains arbitrary values, and so I am not able to determine what is the actual ordering of the parameters.
What can I do to determine the exact ordering of the parameters of an RFC? (ordering as in - I want to obtain the parameters in the same order as they appear in SAP GUI).
Thanks,
Mustansir

Hi,
I think you can use the code similar to the one below...
some of the things not covered in this are
1. all types for which   CALL FUNCTION 'RFC_GET_NAMETAB' is not returning result, you can call CALL FUNCTION 'RFC_GET_STRUCTURE_DEFINITION' directly. I have not covered that in this code. Hope this is helps in resolving your issue.
Also, the code is not optimized. So there is some scope for optimization of this code.
REPORT ZTEST_GET_SREUCTURE.
DATA : PARAMS     type table of     RFC_FUNINT,
      ls_params like line of params.
data: NAMETAB     type table of     X031L,
      ls_NAMETAB like line of NAMETAB.
data: FIELDS type table of RFC_FIELDS,
      ls_fields like line of fields.
CALL FUNCTION 'RFC_GET_FUNCTION_INTERFACE'
EXPORTING
    FUNCNAME                      = 'fm_test_fm'
TABLES
    PARAMS                        = PARAMS
IF SY-SUBRC <> 0.
ENDIF.
loop at params into ls_params.
CALL FUNCTION 'RFC_GET_NAMETAB'
    EXPORTING
      TABNAME                     = LS_PARAMS-TABNAME
    TABLES
      NAMETAB                     = NAMETAB
IF SY-SUBRC <> 0.
ENDIF.
loop at NAMETAB into ls_NAMETAB.
    CALL FUNCTION 'RFC_GET_STRUCTURE_DEFINITION'
EXPORTING
    TABNAME                     = LS_NAMETAB-ROLLNAME
TABLES
    FIELDS                      = FIELDS
    loop at fields into ls_fields.
      write: ls_fields-FIELDNAME.
    endloop.
endloop.
endloop.

RFC SDK connect call fails for NW2004s SPS13 if password in lowercase

Hi all,
I am running a sample rfc program on solaris m/c.
SAP server details
2004s SPS13
I am using a communication user to connect to server using RFC SDK.
If i connect to the server with password in smaller case it gives aerror message
"Name or password is incorrect"
But if i give the password in capital case,it works fine.
BAsically i have to create a user with acapital password to work fine on SPS13
ON SPS12 it worked fine for lower case password.
Best Regards
Manoj
