How to create RFC function module and how to call this function module

Hi,
i want to know step for creating RFC function module and then How to use this function module from some other sap system.
Thnaks,
jigar

Jigar,
To implement a remote function module in ABAP, perform the following steps:
Register the module as remotely callable in the RFC server system.
In the function module Administration screen (transaction code SE37), set the field Can be called via REMOTE CALL. Registering a module as remote causes an RFC stub to be generated for it.
Write the code for the function module.
Create the destinations.....................
Displaying, Maintaining and Testing Destinations
To display, create or modify destinations, choose Tools ® Administration ® Administration ® Network ® RFC destinations or enter transaction code SM59.
Remote Destinations are stored in table RFCDES. The RFCDES table describes logical destinations for remote function calls.
It is not possible to maintain the RFCDES table directly.
You can also access logical destinations via the Implementation Guide (IMG) by choosing Tools ® AcceleratedSAP ® Customizing ® Execute Project ® SAP Reference IMG.
In the Implementation Guide, expand the following hierarchy structure:
Basis
Application Link Enabling (ALE)
Sending and Receiving Systems
Systems in Network
Define Target Systems for RFC Calls
Displaying Destinations
The initial screen for this transaction displays a tree:
Different connection types (i.e. partner systems or programs) are possible. For further information, see Types of Destinations.
To display all information for a given destination, double-click it, or place the cursor on it and press F2 .
To search for a destination, press the Find button and specify your selection. You get a list of all entries matching your selection. Place the cursor on the one you want, and press F2 or simply double-click the destination. All information for the given entry appears.
Creating Destinations
On the destinations overview screen (transaction code SM59), the connection types and all existing destinations are displayed in a tree structure.
All available connection types are explained in Types of Destinations.
To create a new RFC destination, press the Create button. A new screen is displayed with empty fields for you to fill in.
If you want to create a new destination
As you create a remote destination, you can specify a particular application server or a group of servers for a balanced distribution of system load.
For details of the destination parameters, see Entering Destination Parameters.
Changing Existing Destinations
On the destinations overview screen (transaction code SM59), the connection types and all existing destinations are displayed in a tree structure.
You can display all information for a given destination by double-clicking it or pressing F2 on it.
To change an existing destination, double-click it, or place the cursor on it and press the Change button.
For details of the destination parameters, see Entering Destination Parameters.
Testing Destinations
To test a destination, choose the appropriate function from the Test menu.
Connection (also available via the Test connection pushbutton)
Authorization (checks logon data)
Local network (provides a list of application servers)
You can use the CALL FUNCTION statement to call remote functions, just as you would call local function modules. However, you must include an additional DESTINATION clause to define where the function should run:
CALL FUNCTION RemoteFunction
DESTINATION Dest
EXPORTING
f1 =...
f2 =...
IMPORTING
f3 =...
TABLES
t1 =...
EXCEPTIONS......
The field Dest can be either a literal or a variable: its value is a logical destination (for example, "hw1071_53") known to the local SAP System. Logical destinations are defined in the RFCDES table (or the TRFCD table in R/2 Systems) via transaction sm59 or the following menu path: Tools ® Administration, Administration ® Network ® RFC destinations. You can also access logical destinations via the Implementation Guide (IMG) by choosing Tools ® Customizing ® Enterprise IMG. In the Implementation Guide, you can then choose Cross-application components ® ALE ® Communication ® Define RFC destination.
The remote function call concept, for example, allows you to access a function module in an R/2 System from an ABAP program in an R/3 System. If you want to read a customer record from your R/2 Systems database, create a remotely callable function module in the R/2 environment which retrieves customer records. Call this function from your R/3 System using a remote function call and listing the destination for the target R/2 System:

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

RFC Function module needed for getting table details in APO from R/3

Hi,
I need a RFC function module where I can write a query from R/3 to access APO server database table and get the necessary records.
Regards
Mac

Possible ways
1. Call fm RFC_READ_TABLE and give destination and table name ( But i am not sure how it will work SCIF enviornment of APO)
or
2. Create a custom function module in APO side and call from R/3 side using destnation option

Exception error_message in rfc function module

Hi all,
I am getting a short dump Raise exception in my R/3 system when calling a RFC function module in R/3 for printing a label in LOFTWARE. The error analysis shows the that exception condition 'Nlink exception' condition raised . The rfc destination is working fine and also i have included the predefined exceptions system_failure and communication_failure and also I have used RFC_PING function module before calling teh rfc for printing . Yet it is giving short dump.
I heard that if we include one more exception error_message with return code 99
ie exceptions
    system_failure = 1
    communictaion_failure = 2
    error_message = 99. there will be no short dump.
Can anyone explain me why the return code for exception error_message is not 3 but 99 and also what is the significance of this.
Need your help.

from dump no information is available also it last occured 5 days ago so refreshed from our system..
I want to know what is the importance of the return code 99 here...
can anyone clarify this concept and aslo genrally in rfc exception handling communication_failure and system_failure can handle all type of exceptions then why error_message exception is added with a return code of 99..

Runtime Analysis For Classes

Hi All,
Can we do runtime analysis for Classes and Methods in the same way as program and function module?

You can have a look at this thread Transaction SAT - Analyze Performance of Classes in which the OP has written a blog for the question.

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.

Using RFC Function Module to send data to NON SAP Application

Hi friends,
Please guide me how can I send data from SAP -> Dotnet Applcation using Dotnet Connector through RFC function module from SAP side. In my scenerio, I Run Z transaction to executte RFC function module which create some data to pass to dotnet connector.
Regards,
Rajesh Kumar

Hi,
You can make use of Dotnet connector to read the content of SAP RFC .. (eaiest of all)
The RFC can be executed using connector , and can read the data simultaneously.. u need to code in dotnet for this..
else create a webservice and read it from dot net ..

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

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.

Please read the forum rules about u r g e n t ...

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.

Julius

Debugging RFC function module from ECC to CRM

Hi All,
My requirement is to debug an RFC function module present in CRM(7.0) system from ECC(6.0) system. A report program in ECC will call CRM custom FM. I found many posts in SDN with the same issue and tried to implement suggestions provided there. But I couldn't succeed. The approach I followed is:
I logged in to ECC report program and kept an external breakpoint just before the function module call.
I logged in to CRM system, opened the function module and kept an external breakpoint there.
In both the systems I provided the dialogue userid( id through which I log in to SAPGUI) in the system->settings->debugging option.
In CRM I activated the external break point in transaction SRDEBUG.
Now when I execute the report program in ECC, control stops at the breakpoint. If I press F5 at the function call, control is not going to the external break point set in the CRM FM. I am getting output of FM directly.
I tried with different settings like turning on the check box for IP matching and session breakpoint active immediate, switching to classic debugger etc. I also tried to provide the RFC user id instead of dialogue user but system throws exception saying only dialogue userids are allowed. I found that by inserting an infinite loop statement, control goes inside the RFC CRM FM but I prefer not to change the code.
Please let me know if I missed anything.
Thanks and Regards,
Naren

Hi,
Debug RFC calls
When an RFC function module is called it is usually not possible to debug the call, using the below techniques we can achieve the same. For this example we are calling an RFC enabled FM in ECC system from CRM system.
Scenario 1: Calling a custom RFC FM
STEP 1: Add an infinite loop in the remote custom Function Module (adding a u201CDO. ENDDO.u201D statement at the start of the FM would be enough).
STEP 2: Execute your program in the CRM system. The execution stops at the RFC call, because of the infinite loop.
STEP 3: Now login to the ECC system and go to transaction SM51 select the process which is executing the RFC and navigate to the menu: u201CProgram/Session->Program->Debuggingu201D this triggers the debugger session in a separate window.
Scenario 2: Calling a Standard RFC FM
When we are debugging a standard program we cannot add the infinite loop, hence we cannot go to SM51 and debug the work process. The RFC destination for the ECC system has a User specified, the RFC function module gets executed using this users credentials. Usually the basis team set up the RFC user as non Dialog user, this does not allow debugging. Contact your Basis team and get this changed to a dialog user enabling you to debug RFC function calls via the normal debugger.
Note: User name configured in the RFC destination (transaction SM59)
Note: User type for the RFC User (transaction SU01D)
Hope this will be helpful..

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.

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.
