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.

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.

RFC function module called inside an enhancment section

Hi All,
I am calling a RFC function module in background task as a separate unit. I am calling this FM within an enhancement section. Is it alright to use a commit work inside this RFC enabled FM even if I am calling it within an enhancemnt? Please help

Hi,
Yes, you can use a commit work inside this RFC enabled FM even if I am calling it within an enhancemnt. Please refer below link regaring this. Thanking you.

ABAP Dump due to RFC Function module call in another thread

Hi,
I am facing some problem since yesterday. In one of my executable program I am calling a RFC fm as below mentioned
REPORT ZREPORT.
CALL FUNCTION 'Z_XXXXXXXXX'
      STARTING NEW TASK L_NAME
      DESTINATION IN GROUP 'TASK'
      PERFORMING RETURN_INFO ON END OF TASK
      EXPORTING
        P_exp1       = l_emp
      TABLES
        R_VBELN      = r_it_vbeln
      EXCEPTIONS
        NO_DATA_TO_PROCESS = 1
        OTHERS             = 2.
wait until v_task = 1.
update ztable.
Due to some data inconsistence one of the SAP function
module which I am calling in my function module Z_XXXXXXXXX
is generating dump with message type X. Since there is data inconsistence it is generating dump that's OK.
But the problem i am getting is, report ZREPORT is generating dump at WAIT statement saying illegal statement even though I am calling that function module
Z_XXXXXXXXX as a separate new task.
Can somebody help me.
Thanks,
Amara.

hi, Amara
I agree with Rich said, and do a simulate test in my server, here is the analysis.
Assume we have a RFC, like this:
FUNCTION ZGZL_DUMPTEST.
*"*"Local interface:
*" EXPORTING
*"     VALUE(OUT) TYPE I
*" EXCEPTIONS
*"      CONVERT_FAIL
data:a type i.
a = 'A'.
ENDFUNCTION.
And call this RFC like you way:
REPORT ZGZL_DUMPTEST .
DATA:
SEMAPHORE(1) VALUE SPACE,
LC_OUT       TYPE I.
CALL FUNCTION 'ZGZL_DUMPTEST'
STARTING NEW TASK 'DUMP'
PERFORMING RETURN_INFO ON END OF TASK.
WAIT UNTIL SEMAPHORE = 'X'.
WRITE: 'OVER'.
FORM RETURN_INFO USING TASKNAME.
RECEIVE RESULTS FROM FUNCTION 'ZGZL_DUMPTEST'
          IMPORTING OUT = LC_OUT.
SEMAPHORE = 'X'.
ENDFORM.                    " RETURN_INFO
if we run the RFC in se37 directly, obviously it will occur a rumtime error CONVT_NO_NUMBER, and dump.
But if we run the above application to call the RFC, we will get a different runtime error CALL_FUNCTION_REMOTE_ERROR.
Error Analysis in ST22 like this:
An error occurred when executing a REMOTE FUNCTION CALL.
It was logged under the name "CONVT_NO_NUMBER"
on the called page.
I think that means the application receive the runtime error from RFC when call <b>RECEIVE RESULTS</b>.
In normal CALL FUNCTION, the external application will accept the rumetime error throw from FM, that's correct, because it let the caller can handle these runtime errors.
In you case, you said RFC run in a new task, yes, that's true, so you can call the RFC like this:
CALL FUNCTION 'ZGZL_DUMPTEST'
STARTING NEW TASK 'DUMP'
PERFORMING RETURN_INFO ON END OF TASK.
WAIT UNTIL SEMAPHORE = 'X'.
WRITE: 'OVER'.
FORM RETURN_INFO USING TASKNAME.
SEMAPHORE = 'X'.
ENDFORM.                    " RETURN_INFO
It will goes well, no dump. Why? because we don't use RECEIVE RESULT. RECEIVE RESULT will bring the result from FM, also bring the runtime error from FM.
So if you want to call the FM and receive the result, handle the runtime error in FM inside at first.
like this:
CATCH SYSTEM-EXCEPTIONS CONVT_NO_NUMBER = 1.
    a = 'A'.
ENDCATCH.
IF SY-SUBRC = 1.
    RAISE CONVERT_FAIL.
ENDIF.
And then you call FM like this:
CALL FUNCTION 'ZGZL_DUMPTEST'
STARTING NEW TASK 'DUMP'
PERFORMING RETURN_INFO ON END OF TASK.
WAIT UNTIL SEMAPHORE = 'X'.
WRITE: 'OVER'.
FORM RETURN_INFO USING TASKNAME.
RECEIVE RESULTS FROM FUNCTION 'ZGZL_DUMPTEST'
          IMPORTING OUT = LC_OUT
          EXCEPTIONS CONVERT_FAIL = 1.
SEMAPHORE = 'X'.
ENDFORM.                    " RETURN_INFO
That's will be ok for your scenario.
Hope my reply is useful.
thanks

Regarding the RFC Function Module call from PI

Hi All,
I am working on one File to RFC interface, in which File adapter picks the file, this file data has to goto 2 function modules in SAP system. For this i added 2 Inbound interfaces in INTERFACE DETERMINATION and I developed 2 RECEIVER AGREEMENTS. In 2 RECEIVER AGREEMENTS i added single receiver RFC Communication Channel.
Now i want assurance that once 1 st function module will execute completely, then only my second function module should be called. Is there any setting that i can do to make this sync?????.
what is the use of Send 'Confirm Transaction' in receiver RFC Communication Channel under Adavanced Mode.
Thanks,
Balu

Hi,
As per you requirement I would suggest to change your scenario as File To Proxy. It will much more easier and 100% sure to process second BAPI only after first gets successful inside the proxy.
Pass the data from file adapter to inbound proxy and then inside proxy code you first call the first BAPI and use commit wrok. Once commit work is successful then you call the second BAPI otherwise rollback the changes.
Example:
Call First_BAPI
<pass the data to it's import export parameters>
Commit work.
if sy-subrc =0.
Call Second_BAPI.
<pass the data to it's import export parameters>
Commit work.
endif.
Note: If you are not very much comfortable with ABAP the discuss this with your ABAP team mate.

Sarvesh

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 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 I

I 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.

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!

Where should i call the rfc function module? in xi or in r/3

where should i call the rfc function module?
for the synch scenario: file < -- > xi <---> rfc
i know the type of rfc is tcp/ip; but i'm not sure with the followings,
and with some trials i can not even see any message via rwb even all the setting
can be activated without errors.
where should i create the rfc destination? in r/3 or xi
where should i call the rfc via abap program? in r/3 or xi
i guess the calling program should belong to the different server with the rfc itself....
so confused....
Thanks for your reply!!
Jun

if i create the destination in xi point to r/3, then i call the rfc use the destination in r/3 right ?
The call doesnt use the destination in R3. XI has the RFC destination which is just used to connect to the R3 system
but where i need to create the fm via se37? in xi or r/3 ?
In R3

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Standard Component in CRM that will call RFC Function Module

HI all,
Is there any Standard Component in CRM that will call RFC Function Module from ECC and that called RFC FM should Fetch the data from ECC.

You can call RFC from different places, like programs, function modules, web dynpros, classes...
So you just have to have appropriate RFC on ERP side and call it from CRM side. To call it you use the following statement...
      CALL FUNCTION 'YOUR RFC FUNCTION'
        DESTINATION i_dest "name of server
        EXPORTING
          your export parameters
        IMPORTING
          your import parameters

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.
Alex

Hi,
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
