RFC to fetch SAP version

HI,
I need an rfc which fetches sap component version ( ECC 6.0 or 5.0 or 4.7 or 4.6......etc ).
I know we can look in system --> status --> component version.
But i want this data to be passed to external system through rfc or bapi.
I can create custom one which does this but we need standard to work this out.
Is there any such...!!
Regards.

On old version there was a system field sy-saprl, alas it is no longer in use. Looking at OSS, i found [ Note 542759 - Replacement for SY-SAPRL|https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/542759]
which use a
CALL FUNCTION 'STRUCPACK_RELEASE_GET'
    EXPORTING
      I_NAME_EXTENSION        = 'SAP_BASIS'
    IMPORTING
      E_RELEASE               = l_saprel
    EXCEPTIONS
      STRUCPACK_NOT_INSTALLED = 1
      NO_TSYST_ENTRY          = 2
      OTHERS                  = 3.
Depending on you system you may build a RFC enabled FM which return sy-saprl or l_saprel(4).
NB: RFC_GET_SYSTEM_INFO and STRUCPACK_RELEASE_GET did not exist in older versions, but there was a RFC_GET_SAP_SYSTEM_PARAMETERS which returned sy-saprl of course.
So you may (caller) try to call one of the RFC FM and, if it fails, call the other one, or build a custiomer RFC FM (called) which try to call the "modern" FM and if it fails return sy-saprl.

Creation of RFC destination for SAP-Access Connectivity

Hi,
       I want to create a RFC destination for SAP-Access connectivity.
Can I get some help regarding it's connection type,activation type and gateway options required for the same.
Regrads,
Anthony D'souza

Hi
Please see the following:
1. Create an entry in Trxn DBCA for SQL Server in SAP, you are creating a database connection for the SQL server in SAP.
2. You use this connection, and write Native SQL stmnts...between EXECSQL...ENDEXEC to fetch the data..and then normal ABAP statements to put that data into your ztable.
TABLE DBCON Entry can be like this...depends on your External database..
CON_NAME          Raj                      Logical name for connection
DBMS                   MSS                   Microsoft SQL Server

I am using "RFC_READ_TABLE" function module to fetch SAP table contents using JCO APIs. I need to know the date and time format to parse the values of date and time fields into respective java data types. (I am receiving these values in the form of string using above RFC)
How can I get date and time format information from SAP server?

SWCV still contains IDocs/RFCs from an SAP system

Hi
I have imported Idoc to a SWCV. Now am trying to create one more namespace under it. When I try to create another namespace, it automatically selects the check button Import of Idoc and RFC interfaces from SAP systems permitted. If I select not permitted and try to create namespace it gives me this message
Unable to save object XYZ , 1.0 of ABC
Indicator cannot be undone since the software component version still contains IDocs/RFCs from an SAP system
Delete the objects first.
Is it possible for me to create another namespace under a SWCV, to which I have already imported Idoc, by selecting the option " Not permitted ". I want to create another namespace and I don't want to select that option as I have already imported Idoc

Hi,
You no need to touch that check box, you can still create the namespace under software component.
Just double click lick on software component, goto edit mode and click on + symbol to insert namespace and save then activate.
Note:- As you have already imported the RFC and IDoc under your software component(not namspace as you mentioned), you keep that check box import of RFC and IDocs permitted. Dont try to uncheck that.

Dswp - edit -- Fetch SAP Components

I'm customizing the Help Desk (Solution Manager 4.0) and the next step is : dswp -> edit --> Fetch SAP Components.
But I receive the error message : "RFC Error: User SXXXXXX has no RFC authorization for function group BC_SOLMAN".
Thank's in advanced

Hello Cristina,
The note 982045 is good, however is being in Checking process just now so you can not see it. I enter t:i
Long text
Symptom
The connection test or the authorization check for the SAP-OSS
destination in transaction SM59 is not always successful.
Other terms
Reason and Prerequisites
The physical connection between the SAP Solution Manager system and the
OSS no longer corresponds to the technical settings of the destination,
for example because another internal SAPRouter was activated.
Solution
Regenerate the SAP-OSS destination. Do not maintain any manual changes
for the SAP-OSS destination in transaction SM59. Proceed as follows:
1. Use transaction SM59 to carry out the connection test for the SAPOSS
      destination. If this test does not return any error, proceed with
      step 4.
2. Call transaction OSS1, choose the menu option 'Parameter ->
      Technical Settings', and maintain them as described in Note 33135.
3. When you save the entries, the system regenerates the SAPOSS
      destination . As a result, errors should no longer occur for this
      destination in the connection test in transaction SM59. If errors
      still occur, check the entries.
4. Regeneration of the SAP-OSS destination in transaction DSWP, menu
      option 'Settings -> Global Settings', tab page 'Connection to SAP':
      Re-enter the user (S user for your customer number) and the password
      and save your entries. When you save, the system regenerates the
      SAP-OSS destination. The system uses the technical settings of the
      SAP-OSS destination.
5. Carry out the connection test for the SAP-OSS destination in
      transaction SM59 again.
6. If the connection test works, but the authorization check fails,
      make sure the password is correct by logging on directly on the SAP
      Support Portal. If there are no problems when you use the same
      password, SAP has to unlock the user that was locked due to several
      failed logon attempts in OSS and to replicate the password from the
      SAP Support Portal to OSS, if necessary.
Best regards,
Dolores

http://solutionbrowser.erp.sap.fmpmedia.com/
Major difference is ECC6 is netwear product having WASJAVA+ABAP
secondly support unicode apart from this we have other diff. you can get fom master guide from service.sap.com/instguides
For installing ECC 6.0 you required a solution manager key.With out solutionmanager key you cannot install ECC6.0.
For ECC 6.0 is called netweaver component here you have ABAP+JAVA stack.
ECC6.0 supports UNCODE.
For installing 4.6 you don't required solution manager key.It only having ABAP stack.
4.6C supports NONUNICODE.
Hope this would add some more info.

JCO.Server Error while trying to execute a RFC program from SAP

Hi,
We are connecting to an external registered server program from SAP via Web Methods.
The external server program is registered with the SAP Gateway. We have created a TCP/IP RFC destination and are able to connect to the destination successfully via SM59.
An RFC function is created in SAP and is called using the syntax CALL FUNCTION "/NGN/BAPI_STRE_SEARCH_PROCESS" DESTINATION 'PRDB2B'. We have also handled the COMM_FALIURE and SYSTEM_FALIURE exceptions in the function call.
We are monitoring the gateway via SMGW and see a connection log to the RFC destination as below
Number - 10
LUname - dev01
TPName - sapgw00
User - KRAORANE
Status - CONNECTED
Symbolic - PRDB2B
Conversation - 86520353
Prot - REG
SAP return code - 0
CPIC rtn code - 0
The external program returns results as expected.
However sometimes the RFC fails and returns the message JCO.Server could not create server function /NGN/BAPI_STRE_SEARCH_PROCESS.
We are not able to figure what exactly is causing this error. Any help will be highly appreciated.

RFC Trace in SAP R/3

Hello everybody,
I would like to know how to log a RFC Call on SAP R/3 and the data flow from a RFC.
Thanks for your helps,

Use t.code ST01 to activate RFC trace.
Use t.code ST11 to list the file of the trace. The file name should start with dev_rfc . ST11 is sorted by date so double click on the latest changed dev_rfc file.
Here where it gets kind of ugly.
Look for string ' **** Trace file opened at '
A few lines below that you'll find the data stream that was passed to and from SAP via a RFC. The human readable data is on the right side looking like this.

Creating RFC Destination in SAP R/3

Trying to create an RFC destination in SAP R/3. Looked at few articles in creating them, but I am getting error while testing. It says that the "Program" couldn't not be found. I tried with all options, "Registered in Server Program", "Start on Application Server" etc.,
Is there a place to register a "Program"? Is this program specific to my XI server? How should this program be created or registered.
Any help is greatly appreciated!
Thanks
Satya

one more hit:

BTW
you have created everything in XI repository & configured everything in xi directory haven't you?
if not you can try this document:

Input Tax - difference between sap version 4.7 and version 5

Hi All
I done total customising of input tax on sap version 4.7 as well as version 5.
now I want to enter following invoice through t.code F-43:-
   Raw Material Cost                           50,000.00
Add:- Excise                                       8,000.00
Add:- E.Cess                                          240.00
Add:- Vat                                             2329.60
So we are to pay to vendor Rs. 60,569.60.
Now when use sap version 4.7 & run t.code F-43, then if I enter Rs. 60,569.60 against g.l of vendor & purchase, then system accept it.
But when I use sap version 5 & run t.code F-43, then I have to enter Rs. 60,569.60 against g.l of vendor & Rs. 50,000 against g.l of purchase, then only system accept the entry.
why so. Plz clarify

SAP Version to be added in the subject line while posting a question.

Hi,
We all have been posting and answering thousands of questions on the SDN. Many times I have seen moderators asking the person who posted a question to use a correct and informative subject line.
With respect to that, I would like to suggest the moderators to add a rule in the rules of engagement asking the users to provide the SAP Version in the subject line while posting questions.
This way the person answering the question can appropriately provide information based on that version only and would save the time and effort of everyone.
Example subject line can be :
ECC 6.0 Function module xyz is not returning correct results.
I would like to know the opinion of other users too on what they think about this suggestion.
Best regards,
Advait

In theory - a very good idea.
In practice - hard to enforce.
On second thoght, it could be a required parameter. It might have the added benefit of dissuading questions from people who can't figure out which version they have
