Ideas in calling a non RFC enabled FM from another system

Hi guys,
I have a request to check the status of the background jobs in miscellaneous systems in the landscape. I'll probably use FM BP_FIND_JOBS_WITH_PROGRAM. The thing is this function is not Remote-Enabled and I need one which is. My idea was to create one RFC-enabled with more or less the same parameters, inside just calling the standard one. I'm not really convinced this is the best approach so that's why I'm asking: is there a better way to do this, any ideas?
Best regards,
George

Function module BP_FIND_JOBS_WITH_PROGRAM either does not exist or is not RFC-enabled.
No proxies for non RFC-enabled functions.
Even if it was allowed, then I would have to find out how to consume web services from my ABAP report and everything... sounds interesting but as with all programs this needs to be delivered on time.

RFC enabled function module using call transaction

Hi,
We have a scenario wherein we have a RFC enabled function module which inturn uses a call transaction to create a PM order & attaches the PM notification against it. Sometimes it so happens that the order does not get created for some reason or the other and there are no logs generated on the system to investigate. However we are capturing the messages produced via the BDCMSGCOLL. At present we are using the update parameter as 'L'.
In some scenarios it states that the notification is locked by the same notification and comes out without creating the order, in this process we are losing out on the order & the notification number which if successful would have got updated in the database.
I know this could be done via the BAPI, but there are innumerable steps within the BDC which can't be actually done using the BAPI and hence we could not use this procedure.
Is there any other way by which we can ensure that there's always a successful order creation, I mean without losing out on the order/notification number?. Would changing the update mode to 'S' help?. Since this process is time bound, it can't actually take more time then what its taking with the current logic.
Please let me know if you require further details on the same. Any help in this regard would be highly appreciated.
Regards,
Vidya

Sorry for an unclear replay.
In Simple terms; I have 2 scenarios;
Launch a new tab (IW38 tcode), on click of a button in SAP screen of custom transaction in NWBC.
Launch a new tab (IW38 tcode), on click of a button in a Non - SAP App opened (using URL) in NWBC.
For 1st case, i have used
CL_NWBC=>URL_CONSTRUCT
EXPORTING
     CANVAS_WDA__CLIENT_TYPE       = 'nwbc'
     CANVAS_TRANSACTION            = 'IW38'
RECEIVING
     URL                           = lv_URL.
CALL METHOD CL_NWBC=>URL_LAUNCH
   EXPORTING
     URL    = lv_url
But it gets open in NWBC HTML not in NWBC Desktop client.
I tried all the Parameters you have mentioned in your response to this post earlier, but nothing worked. the last one is CANVAS__WINDOW which actually hides the top area and few buttons but still it is a HTML version.
If i set the HTML_CLIENT = ABAP_FALSE, it launches a new window instead of the tab and asks for Login. If i login in can see the IW38 in NWBC desktop client. But the only problem is we have the restriction of single window/single login for users.
I am on NWBC PL12 and also updated the GUI 7.3 to PL8.
Simply the problem is URL_CONSTRUCT for any transaction is launching it in a new tab but in HTML Version.
For 2nd case,
It asks for the login details on click of a button on the 3rd party URL opened in NWBC. which means i am launching SAP from a 3rd party.
Is there any way to achieve the launch of new tab in this case instead of the new window ?
I hope its more clear now.
Regards,
Nik.

Call RFC enabled function from within VBA in BI 7.0

Hello Experts,
the problem that we have should be general, i have found some postings on this forum concerning it, but unfortunately no proper solutiont.
I just want to have the possibility to call the rfc enabled function module from within the callback function in VBA after executing of some query.
I have seen the suggestion to build a new RFC connection in VBA, but therefore you should hard-code all connection parameters (including user + password)
in the VBA code, this solution is for us not acceptable due to the security reasons.
Is there some way to use the existing connection of BEx Analyser in order to execute the function calls?
This functionality was possible in 3.5 but not in 7.0 since many functions that were available in 3.5 are not supported now.
Do you have experience/suggestions for this problem?
Any help would be great.
Thanks a lot,
Kirill

I've got the same problem. Did you find the solution?
Thank you,

How to call Custom RFC enabled Function Module in R/3 From XI

Hi Experts,
I want to call custom RFC enabled Function Module by sending some input parameters from XI.
How to do this
Thnx
RAMS

Hi RAMS,
1. Under the SWCV Go to the Imported Objects.
2. Right click on the RFC and click on the Import of SAP object.
3. Give the logon server name, system number the user name and pasword.
4. Select the RFC u want to import.
5. Execute the import and the RFC is imported under the SWCV.
Now u can use this Imported RFC in the scenarios of that SWCV.

Problem with String parameters while Calling RFC enabled Function Module

Hi all,
I execute BAPI(RFC enabled Function Module) from my WebDynpro Application and retrieve data from R/3.
To fetch the data I pass few String parameters to BAPI from my Dynpro Application.
Now the problem is that while making this call, the parameters are automatically converted to UpperCase. And I want those parameters in the original case at R/3.
I am not able to find out whether this conversion occurs at Dynpro side or R/3 Side.
Should i configure my BAPI(RFC enabled Function Module) or is there some option on the Dynpro Side to preserve the Case of the String?
Please help me.
Thanks,
Darshil

Hi Darshil,
I'm not sure whether you have experience with ABAP or you are a Java Programmer, but we cannot set that flag permanently.
Now, if you are saying that the domains are marked with the Lowercase attribute, then it means that the final table field will be capable of holding Case Sensitive data.
I have a hunch that the case-conversion is happenning at the Web-Dynpro side. Or, the application logic converts the string to UPPERCASE explicitly.
By the way, which BAPI are you talking about ?

Anand Mandalika.

Calling RFC enabled FM IN BACKGROUND TASK

Hi Frnds,
I have a requirement where in I need to call a FM which executes 'VA02' BDC in some user exit.
Since this has to be executed after the commit work is executed in the calling program i am using the background mode.
something like below,
CALL FUNCTION 'Z_SD_AVAILABILITY_CHECK_BDC'
    IN BACKGROUND TASK
    DESTINATION 'NONE'
    TABLES
      t_vbap = xvbap.
This above FM is RFC enabled.
And this FM is also called successfully and VA02 is executed without any error. But the FM's session does not get killed after its executed completly. Instead it creates another session of the same FM and executes the BDC again. This is goion on and on and multiple sessions are created at the end.
Am I missing something here? Do I have to include the Performing RETURN_INFO ON END OF TASK also?
Please give ur suggestions.
regards,
Karthick C

Hi,
Check the SM58 to see how many calls are there. It might be that the function is called multiple times every time the user exit is triggered. So put a break point in the user exit and check that the function is actually only called once per transaction.
As the SAP help says that the calls are stored in the tables ARFCSSTATE and ARFCSDATA, it might be worth checking the entries of this table for the function calls before the transaction commit work is executed. See [here|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/8e/d05f3ce4dd3370e10000000a114084/frameset.htm]

How to call a RFC-enabled function module

Hi All,
We have 2 systems; system 1 (client 420) and system 2 (client 600).
I just want to know that how can a RFC-enabled function module be called from one system (420) whereas the RFC-enabled functio nmodule exists in the other system (600).
Also, as per my understanding any RFC-enabled function module is a BAPI. Please confirm.
Please help.
Thanks & Regards,
Namrata

Hi,
RFC enabled FM can be called from anther system:
From 420 we can call RFC FM residing in 600, through RFC destination cretaed in SM59 tcode in 420 client.In sm59, maintain the entries of destination system i.e 600.and test the connection whether it is succesful or not/ through remote logon.
suppose in 420 client , in sm59 u have cretaed with destination DEST600 say.
In 420, u can code as below..
Call 'RSSDK_LOGSYS_REMOTE_CHECK' destination DEST600
exporting
I_QSYSTEMNAME =
tables
E_T_MSG =
there exist difference between BAPI/RFC.
BAPI always return messages / RFC doen't.
BAPI follows ceratin naiming convetions while defineing the parameter structures ( ex BAPI_..)
In bapi , no dialog screens can be called.
In bapi, statements liek COmmit work/Call Transaction/Submit...shouldn't exit.
Bapi's are implemented as FM's and are stored as methods in Business Object repository.
another Ex for RFC

The webdynpro/ABAP (WDA) calling RFC enabled FM of other ECC systems

The webdynpro/ABAP (WDA) has problem calling RFC enabled FM of other ECC systems.
WDA expects all the ABAPs, RFC FMs of remote system(DEV, QA..) to reside inside its own instance.
It is hard to transport and maintain these ABAPs FMs into a portal ABAP WDA instance.
Proxy generation at WDA client:
=======================
1. If we can make an XI enable an ABAP or RFC enabled FM of the remote ECC,
I think the XI proxy classes can be generated at the client WDA system.
Other options?
How do I do it? Can you give some tips.
2. How do I manually code the RFC Call to BAPI/FM from Webdynpro controller or other interface?
I am stuck with the above as the webservice option is not available at our ECC server. It does not have a java engine installed for webservice to be available.
Can you help on the above 2 options?

Hi Mike ,
 Answer of 2.
How do I manually code the RFC Call to BAPI/FM from Webdynpro controller or other interface?
I am doing same thing for my current SRM implementation.I am taking data to SRM server from another R/3 server .
This is solution I have used
1) First of all I have made ABAP connection in SM59 .
Go to SM59 .In ABAP Connection creat ABAP connection with system with which u want communicate .
Eg I am connection with Systems PB1.
So i developed Connection call PB1CLNT800.
2) In my requirement I have taken data in my context from another r/3,
I have give called RFC in my supply function of node.
Call to RFC is as usual.
In my case,
CALL FUNCTION 'RFC_MATNR'
DESTINATION 'PB1CLNT800'
TABLES
IT_MATNR = IT_MATNR.
Onwards I have read my itab IT_MATNR and populated data to context.
Hope solution will serve your purpose.
Give point if it works .If any problem i have other ways.
Cheers

CALLING BAPI IN RFC ENABLED FM

Hii Experts,
I have a query,Please help me to solve it. My problem is I do not know to call the two bapis together in an RFC enabled FM and then expose it as a weblink which can be used to enter data for PO creation .Because calling bapi as a fn module requires passing values to its import parameters and my req is to take the parametrs as input in the bapi po create weblink.

Brijesh

You mean you want to create a "web service" within SAP I guess. There are blogs which explain that well.

Calling system of an RFC enabled FM

Hi,
Is there a way of determining which system is calling an RFC enabled function module.
Regards,
Herwin D'souza.

> I even need to check in my code if the system calling my FM is a particular system.
The correct approach would be for your unique ID from that connecting system to be the only one authorized to call your FM.
> this counter that is being incremented for every call should be reset to 0 upon reaching 20.
Why would one possibly want to do this? I am sure there is a better way...
Cheers,
Julius

RFC enabled function module which will be called from XI

Hi Abappers,
I have to send confirmation of the sales orders created by inbound Idocs ORDERS05 to XI. For this I have to use outbound Idoc ALEAUD01. But since I also need to send NETWR(from VBAK) and there is no field in this Idoc for that,
I have to develop an RFC enabled function module for which a RFC lookup will be performed from XI. This function module has to return NETWR values for sales orders. Can anyone please tell me how to go about with this function module.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Priyanka,
Add a parameter in tables tab of function module with reference to NETWR. It'll work.

How to take back the control from RFC function module to calling program

Hi,
In our system landscape, more than 200 child systems are connected to Solution manager(SMP). I have copied a RFC enabled function module into all the child systems and calling that FM from Sol Man in sychronous mode.
Here goes my code in SolMan.
LOOP AT it_dest INTO wa_dest.
CALL FUNCTION 'Z_GET_LOGIN_DETAILS' DESTINATION wa_dest-rfcdest
    EXPORTING
      date_fr               = s_date-low
      date_to               = s_date-high
    TABLES
      tab_data              = it_val
    EXCEPTIONS
      communication_failure = 1
      system_failure        = 2
      OTHERS                = 3.
IF sy-subrc EQ 0.
*     Updates zuserlogon
      MODIFY zt_logon_det FROM TABLE it_val.
      COMMIT WORK.
      WRITE:/'RFC for Destination', wa_dest-rfcdest, 'succesfully updated.'.
ELSE.
      WRITE:/'RFC for Destination', wa_dest-rfcdest, ' failed.'.
ENDIF.
ENDLOOP.
Few child systems are very slow & takes more than 20 minutes(Many of the times system hangs) to return the result. But I should not wait for so long. Even if the child system doesn't return any values in 5 minutes I shoud continue with other system ignoring the current one.
I tried calling the FM in asynchronous mode(STARTING NEW TASK) but no success because only 6 DIA processes possible but as I said I have more than 200 systems connected to SolMan.
Please help me resolving this problem.
Thanks,
Prathap

If there are only few child systems with bad response time, use asynchronous call using a CALL FUNCTION func STARTING NEW TASK task DESTINATION dest PERFORMING subr or CALLING meth ON END OF TASK. Count asynchronous calls still running/waiting (increment a counter when creating a task (not the one used for task id). In the form/method performed at end of a call decrement the counter. When counter is lower than a limit, 4-5 if 6 processes (*), perform an asynchronous call else perform a synchronous call or wait until the counter falls below the limit.

Raymond
(*) Use SPBT_INITIALIZE at start of program to get actual number of free/available processes.

RFC enabled function module is not runing the BDC code in it.

Dear Experts,
1. We have created a RFC enabled function module to change status of a activity and to save it we are using BDC code and we have also put the code in the RFC FM only.
The RFC fm is runing fine and changing the data and also saving it by runing the BDC when run in the R/3 system only.
But when i run the FM from portal its just chaning the status but not runing the BDC code in it.

Dear experts,
Already the FM is RFC enabled other i won't be able to call it from portal
and coming to using the BAPI_ACTIVITY CHANGE fm that acting very weird so we are using the CRM EXTERN CHANGE USER STATUS fm which is working fine but the only problem is even when we comit from BAPI_TRANSACTION_COMMIT its not getting the delta queue of BW updated eventhough its chaning the status.
So for the above reasons we are using the BDC code in the FM for pressing the save button then its will update the changes to BW delta queue as well.
its working fine when i run it from the system in tcode SE37 only the BDC code is not runing when i am doing it from portal apart from the fm is chaning the status .
thanks and regards
Neel

Required infrastructure to enable web service calls in SAP ECC 6.0 system

Hi Friends,
I'm working on XI, more on part of webservices and as I dont have a good knowledge on BASIS part, I would like to know the steps required to enable the webservice calls in SAP ECC 6.0.
Blogs/documents could be helpful.
Thanks in advance.

You will have to create a receiver communication channel of type RFC adapter to connect to your ECC from XI .
u will have to enter the details of your ECC box like
application Server
system number
in the communication channel.
You will also have to create a user in the ECC which you will use in the RFC communication channel to connect.
YOu will also have to create Business System in your SLD corressponding to the ECC .
