Iam using SAP CRM ABAP 7.0.
Please let me know how to solved it.

Hi all ,
We have a RFC function module where standarad BAPI BAPI_ENTRY_SHEET_CREATE IS USED
where a dump call_function_open_error occurs when the rfc is called from portal , while on r3 it works fine.
I wanted to know if somebody has faced this kind of problem anytime and what can be the possible solution .
There is no problem with data , there is no problem with RFC where can be the problem ?
Please suggest >

Hi Bhanu,

RFC Call from ABAP (R3) to Webdynpro EP

Hi experts,
I have a requirement to initiate a call from an ABAP program on R3 to a standard Portal (Webdynpro) API. Does anyone have any experience with this?
I understand that normally Portal (Webdynpro) applications will make the RFC call to ABAP via the established JCO connection. However there's very limited literature elaborating how the call can be made in the other direction i.e. from ABAP R3 to Portal
Anyone, please kindly advise how, if this can be done. Many thanks!
Best regards,
Lionel

Hi,
I'm trying to make a RFC call from the ABAP program to a built in Java method residing on EP. It is part of a suite of methods provided by the UME engine.
Typically a call is made from a webdynpro program to a SAP ABAP function module. In this case, I'd like to make a call from the SAP ABAP report to the EP method.
Best regards,
Lionel

Making an RFC call from within the VM container

Hi all,
since a long time I am searching for information on how to implement an RFC call from within the VMC. The problem is that we have implemented several (p)functions in ABAP and we need to implement them in JAVA.
Now I am searching for a way how to just call the already existing pfunctions???
Is it possible to read CRM DB tables too?
Thank you in advance
Boris

Hi Freeto,
This may be due to the Network Failures.
If you have triggered a job then because of the Network fluctuations the system may not respond properly and cannot execute the job.
So, this is the cause for the failure.
Hope you understood.

Optimize the performance of the RFC call between ECC and CRM

Hi,
We are planning to extract sales orders, sales activites and service orders to dispaly it on the PDF factsheet of the account.
As of now, the PDF factsheet takes a long time to retrieve the data from ECC to CRM. Can you please suggest us on ways to optimize the performance of the RFC call between ECC and CRM.
Thanks in advance,
Vamsi.

Hello,
[SAP Note 636906 |https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/636906]is quite useful here.
Many times, the performance is poor due to function module CRM_CCKPT_EXPORTSUMMARY. This function module gets the customer number, the sales organization and the fact sheet view. If in CRM customizing, you use complete view (001), then all the views in ERP including all the info blocks will be retrieved, which will cause performance issue.
To solve the issue, please use a limited view to retrieve the data from ERP - especially a view, which does not contain info block 013.
Hope it helps

Asynchronous RFC call from R/3

I need to make an asynchronous RFC call from R/3. I receive an error message in R/3 stating that my RFC destination can only be of type I (Internal) or type 3 (R/3 system). In order for it to reach XI I need it to be of type T (TCP/IP). Any help would be appreciated.
Here is the function call.
CALL FUNCTION 'Z_B2B_R3_FUNCTIONAL_ACK' starting new task 'SESSION1'
   destination 'RFC2XMBSERVICE'
      EXPORTING
           MSG_TYPE            = msg_type
           ORDER_HEADER_RETURN = order_header_return
      TABLES
           RETURNCODE          = i_return.
the RFC desitnation RFC2XMBSERVICE is of type TCP/IP which by default makes it synchronous.
Thanks,
Jim

hi,
have you tried:
CALL FUNCTION 'Z_B2B_R3_FUNCTIONAL_ACK'
in background task
destination 'RFC2XMBSERVICE'
EXPORTING
MSG_TYPE = msg_type
ORDER_HEADER_RETURN = order_header_return
TABLES
RETURNCODE = i_return.
commit work.

RFC call from java webdynpro

Hi,
I'm creating a Java Webdynpro where I call RFC's from SAP.
For the images in the webdynpro, I call the standard SAP function 'CVAPI_DOC_VIEW'
When I execute the function in SAP, I get the url to the contentserver with the correct image.
After calling the same function in my Java Webdynpro, the url is empty.
I've checked the importing parameters after calling from webdynpro and SAP and they are the same.
After debugging, I saw that the function 'CVAPI_DOC_VIEW' is the problem. He's exporting an empty url after calling from the webdynpro.
Does anybody knows the possible fault and solution for my problem?

I'm not an ABAPer but the last time I've dealt with DMS from Web Dynpro an ABAPer wrote a custom function that gets the file content (XSTRING) by sending DMS parameters (documenttype, documentnumber, documentversion, documentpart).
After getting the XSTRING from my Web Dynpro Java, I convert it to byte[] and created URL by using WDResourceFactory.
Hope it helps...

Excel sheet generation through RFC call from a BSP application

Hi,
I am calling a RFC FM ( in R3) in Event handler 'OnInputProcessing' of a BSP application in a SRM server.
That function submits a report program which geneates a excel sheet using download FM . Excel sheet is not getting generated.
But when i am calling this RFC FM (in R3) from a report program ( in srm server)
this is generating an ecel sheet.
I want to have call RFC from BSP application.
I tried the way of submit a program ( which contains RFC call) from BSP application ,but it is also not generating excel sheet.
My ultimate AIM is to generate excel sheet by trigerring CALL or submit from BSP
application.
can any one propose solution for it.
Useful answers will be rewarded.

Hi,
Which FM is it. I guess that the download generated is a SAP gui oriented solution, which will never work in a web environment

RFC call from a Windows Service

Hi All,
I have created a simple windows service which is making an RFC call to R/3 system. This is not working. Whereas the same piece of code written in a windows application projects(exe) works properly. Does anyone had similer issues working with Windows services ? Is it a known issue of RFC calls from windows service ???
Thanks & Regards
Ganesh Datta

Hi Juergen,
After I put the debug statements I figured out that connection to R/3 system is unsuccessful.
I am using the SAP .Net Connector 2.0. I wrote a windows service which is manually started. Withing my service I am using Single sign on to connect .This is what was causing the problem. If I disable Single sign on and supply userID and password then connection is successful and also subsequent RFC calls.
I guess within windows service Single sign on does not work.
Thanks for your reply
Best Regards

German special characters are not returned from catalog

When the german special characters are part of the descrition of the article from the the catalog (external). ( reaching catalog from PM order components screen)
It returns '#' in place german special characters ö ('Umlet') . This is because of the initial charset from the HTML page. How do we get the correct charset of the loaded HTML page.
But when we execute the same through WTS the german characters are correctly returned but charset is incorrect. Can someone help me to resolve this?

Hi ,
Can you pls check the customization OCI interface Convert of HTML fields to SAP Fields where in you maintained the text, which is inturn mapped to conversion module in the customization for example IOCI_DESCRIPTION_W.

Best approach for RFC call from Adapter module

What is the best approach for making a RFC call from a <b>reciever</b> file adapter module?
1. JCo
2. Is it possible to make use of MappingLookupAPI classes to achieve this or those run in the mapping runtime environment only?
3. Any other way?
Has anybody ever tried this? Any pointers????
Regards,
Amol

Hi ,
The JCo lookup is internally the same as the Jco call. the only difference being you are not hardcoding the system related data in the code. So its easier to maintain during transportation.
Also the JCO lookup code is more readable.

Remote Function Module call from ECC to CRM (how to pass parameters?)

Hi there,
I have a remote FM that I would like to call from ECC to CRM. The FM is remote-enabled, so I assume that I can call this from CRM. However, in CRM some of the table structures that is required are not available. Hence, my export/import parameters won't be match, unless I create those types in CRM, but this is going to major work!!
How do we pass/import the parameters since the data type in ECC is vastly different/not available in CRM?
Cheers

The structure will need to be defined in CRM.

Invoke MII Transaction thru RFC Call from SAP

Hi,
We want to get the data from Oracle DB table thru MII (12.0.2).
We need to use RFC call from SAP to MII.
Is it possible to invoke the MII transaction thru RFC by setting in Message Listener?
We have used iDoc messages but not tried with RFC.
How to do that?
Regards,
Senthil

I feel MII doesn't have anything equivalent to RFC in ECC. You may try web services in an ABAP program
Hope the article below helps you

How can I detect in Business HTML that the app was called from portal?

How can I detect in Business HTML that the app was called from portal?
I need to distinguish whether the application was called from portal (URL iView) or by using an URL outside of portal.
So what I'm looking for is a variable or function that can be used like this:
`if (~within_portal==1)`
do this if called from portal
`else;`
do that if not called from portal
`end;`
For example, can I check in the program that there is a SSO2 cookie from the portal?
I'm using Integrated ITS in Basis 700.

Here is the trick:
if (sapwp_active=="1")
in portal
else
without portal
end;
