Question about destination parameter in RFC function module

Greetings,
For execution of RFC function module such as MD_STOCK_REQUIREMENTS_LIST_API on local server, the destination parameter is not required or it can be DESTINATION 'NONE'. I observe that the second option is much slower than the first option. My question is why the second is much slower.
Thanks,
Hung

I've tested it with se37 by leaving RFC target system blank or filling it with 'NONE' , I saw 53000 microseconds versus 45000 microseconds.

Table type in import parameter in rfc function module

Hi we don't have the table type in our system which exist in the other system which is the import parameter of the rfc function module.so how can we pass the parameter. shell we create the same table type in our system also.it is a table type for a deep structure.

Hello,
I donot have access to CRM box I cannot view the FM. You can verify with the CRM counterpart what exactly is the TYPE for param DATA.
Else you can define a generic internal table (TYPE TABLE) & try calling the FM.

RFC function module without RETURN parameter thows error in XI. Please help

Hi Experts,
I have a File to RFC scenario in XI. The RFC function module that I am using at the receiving end does not have "RETURN" parameter. So when I test my scenario I get "RETURN" parameter not found error on SXMB_MONI.
So is it mandatory that RFC function module must have RETURN parameter when used in XI?
Is there any work around to avoid the error without changing the RFC function module?
Please help!
Thanks
Gopal

In my senario the QOS is best effort because it is a Sync.
But the function module is sync in nature as it is returning a parameter called SO_Docs and Ret_Msg. The Ret_Msg contains the error info but it not of BAPIRET2 type.
So is there any way to avoid this error when my QOS is best effort?
Please help!

Unknown error calling a RFC Function Module in BODI

Hi all,
I am having an issue identifying the error that my batch job in BODI is giving with regards to a RFC function module call in my query. The value returned by the standard parameter 'AL_RFC_RETCODE' are square characters ( ).
At the completion of the job, the error message 'RFC CallReceive error <Function ZCT_INDSLS_SLS_TRN_INSERT: Invalid request.. Invalid request.>.' is being output.
Correct me if I'm wrong but the parameter 'AL_RFC_RETCODE' should return standard values as per the techical manual provided to undertand any errors that might occur during a RFC FM call.
Can anyone help me on this?
Best regards,
Andrew Wong

Hi Senthil,
I think you answered your query in your question itself
The user ID and password need to be maintained in RFC destination in SM59.
Go to SM59 and then click on test connection..if it does not ask for ID and passwoed that means correct ID and password is maintained in SM59 otherwise maintain it.

Calling a RFC Function Module

Hello Guys,
I have a question regarding calling a RFC function module.
In BW - BI 7.0 I call a RFC function module:
(The ABAP program in BW-BI 7.0 is below)
CALL FUNCTION ''ZTESTFUNCTIONMODULE' " Function module in ECC
     DESTINATION 'DECCLNT110' " ECC system
    TABLES
      it_gl_item   = it_gl
      it_errlog_gl = it_errlog_gl.
The 'ZTESTFUNCTIONMODULE'   is RFC enabled in the ECC system.
The purpose is we retarct the data from BW to ECC.
When I run the function module it always asks for the user id and password.
The SAP logon screen appears and it asks for the user id and password.
The destination is maintained in the SM59 transaction and also the user is maintained there. I think it should login automatically into remote system and return the tables. is it correct. How to skip the logon screen.
Do I have to pass the user id and password in the function module. I think it should take the user id from the SM59 destination. Is it correct.
Please advise. As always thanks for your help guys.

RFC function module always creating BPs with the same user name (RFC user )

Hi All
I posted the below question in a different area before. But thought it would be more suitable here.
Moderators - Please let me know if am doing any mistake.
Question:
I have a RFC function module in CRM that creates Business Partners in ECC (XD01 tcode).
I am using a dialog RFC destination configured in SM59 in CRM.
But my RFC function module in CRM is always creating the Business Partners in ECC with the RFC user id (the user that we maintain for the RFC destination in SM59).
This is a problem for the users because they are not able to track the actual person responsible for creating these Business Partners.
Can somebody please let me know how to solve this problem?
Thanks
Raj

Hi.
You may use the trust relationship between CRM and R/3 and in SM59 instead of set a specific username, you set the flag "current user".
With this flag, the system will access R/3 system with the user logged in CRM system. The Trust relationship must be created between CRM and R/3 in order to the system doesn't ask for a password to login in R/3.
If you need more details please reply.
Kind regards,
Susana Messias

RFC Function module is not working in program while Background

Hi All,
we have a one program in BI system which is calling RFC function module. it is executing the program in foreground very well. Same program we have executed in background , it is not working at all. Thiis RFC function module exists in R/3 4.6c system.

Hello Raju,
Transactional call of a remote-capable function module specified in func using the RFC interface. You can use the addition DESTINATION to specify an individual destination in dest. If the destination has not been specified, the destination NONE is used implicitly. Character-type data objects are expected for func and dest.
When the transactional call is made, the name of the called function, together with the destination and the actual parameters given in parameter list, are registered for the current SAP LUW in the database tables ARFCSSTATE and ARFCSDATA of the current SAP system under a unique transaction ID (abbreviated as TID, stored in a structure of type ARFCTID from the ABAP Dictionary, view using transaction SM58). Following this registration, the program making the call is continued by way of the statement CALL FUNCTION.
When executing the COMMIT WORK statement, the function modules registered for the current SAP LUW are started in the sequence in which they were registered. The statement ROLLBACK WORKdeletes all previous registrations of the current SAP LUW.
If the specified destination is not available for COMMIT WORK, an executable called RSARFCSE is started in the background. This attempts to start the functional modules registered for an SAP LUW in their destination, every 15 minutes up to a total of 30 times. You can make changes to these parameters using transaction SM59. If the destination does not become available within the given time, this is noted in the database table ARFCSDATA as a CPICERR entry. By default, this entry in database table ARFCSSTATE is deleted after 8 days.
Thanks and Regards,

Perform In RFC function Module

Hi Experts,
Can we use perform statement inside the RFC function module.
I am working with 4.6b version.
I am not sure about the cause of error.
Earlier without perform it was working well.
Now I have written perform , it is giving me error.
What would be the cause of the error.
Thanks In Advance

V Urgent : Debugging an RFC function Module in another R/3 system

Hi All
I have a function module in a R/3 system ( say WB1 ) and i am calling it from another R/3 system (say WD1) . Both have their RFC destinations set up as trusted system mutually . However when i try to debug that FM while in WD1 ( which basically exists only in WB1) i am not able to get inside that FM . Are there some settings that we need to do to allow us to debug function module in another R/3 system ? .
Yes ,we cant do this debugging if RFC function module is in a non SAP system but am sure it can be done atleast for R/3 to R/3 .
Any pointers to this as to what setting needs to done ?
Does some system parameter needs to be set in RSPARAM program for debugging RFC?
Please help
Regards
Shovit

Hi
Can you do a remote logon through the SM59 connection (the trusted one)?
If so, then the only thing preventing you would be debugging autorization.
If not, make sure you have trusted system logon auth (not part of SAP_ALL!).
Cheers

Unable to find the RFC function module in the impoting list in IR

HI
I am trying to import a RFC function module from the R/3 system.
I am not able to find the RFC in the list that comes for the RFC function modules that can be imported.
The RFC is present in the destination system and is actiated too
If anyone has and idea why is such a thing happning
Regards
Nikhil

Hi Nikhil,
The Checklist,
1. Check the connection parameter at XI
2. Make sure ur function module is remote enabled
3. Make sure ur RFC exists for the same user, client credentials

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.

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.

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.

Backgroung job failing becuase RFC function module is running in Dialog

Hi,
I have a program which is calling a RFC function module. I am running this program in background as a job. Now this function module which is in other system is running in Dialog and giving a time out error and the job is failing becuase of that.
I tried call fucntion 'test' in background task
destination 'XVZ'
tables
test = 'test'.
But this is not working, i can still see this function module running in Dialog in SM50. Any suggestion?
Thanks,
Shweta

Hi !
RFC-Called function-modules are running in a dialog workprocess of the
target system (they could not run in a batch proecess !!).
That means the do have the same "Timeout" limitations than any other
Dialog-Process.
What you can do:
- The Dialog "Timeout" could ce increased by your SAP-BASIS
- If they could not - you should "shorten" the LUWs in the target-funktion.
...means - put a COMMIT WORK an any point the work is done.
After a COMMIT WORK the "Timeout" Counter beginns at 0 !
Hope that helped....
Reward points would be nice...

Debugging an RFC function module

Hi,
I am making an RFC call from Server(RDH) to server(RDI).The problem i am facing is that i am not being able to return debug the function module nor is this returning any values. The function module has been transported to the RDH and Rdi servers.
One reason could be that the destination returned by teh function module us wrong but the people concerned insist that it is correct. I am at a loggerheads.
Thanks

Did you check in SM59 whether the said RFC destination is maintained and if it is able to connect to the destination.
