SAP R/3 RFC Call to XI

Hallo,
My scenario is as follows: when sending a RFC to XI via the RFC adapter, I get a short dump with the following error: "the error occurred in an RFC call to another system (XI).The termination occurred in the function "RfcExtendedReceive" of the SAP
Basis System, specifically in line 392 of the module
"//bas/640_REL/src/krn/rfc/abrfcrcv.c#2".
The internal operation just processed is "FUNC".
The internal session was started at 20060125163632".
The RFC adapter has been configured as the Sender and all the parameters populated with the system details.
Has someone seen this eror before?
Please assist.
Thanks,
Catherine

Maybe you're invoking RFC synchrounously from ABAP code and your receiving scenario is on Asynchrounous interfaces? What are you doing then in XI with data sent by the RFC?

How can I access RFC data in transaction? (SAP to MII rfc calling)

If I keep the incoming RFC calling by message rules with category, then using the message actions to handle, that is a solution.
But if I want process the incoming RFC data in transaction directly, how can I get these data?

You will need to define an XML typed Transaction input property for processing the message synchronously. Then in the processing rule for this message you need to associate the proper transaction and map the parameter.
So essentially the transaction and input parameter mapping in your message services processing rule replaces the category setup that you already have working.

Is there any way to limit the number of RFC calls from xMII to SAP R/3

Hi All!
I wanted to know whether the number of simultaneous RFC connections made from xMII to SAP R/3 system can be controlled in any way. Suppose we have a scenario wherein some million Sales Orders or Production Orders are to be updated in SAP R/3 from xMII in a short span of time. For all these updations to take place, multiple RFC calls will be established from xMII to SAP at the same time. This will increase the load on the SAP R/3 system and affect performance of the SAP R/3 system. Is there any check on xMII side to limit the number of RFC calls that can be made to SAP R/3 system?

Anupam

Anupam,
If you are using 11.5 just keep in mind that the JCO connection points to a single application server (based upon the SAP Server alias connection settings), but the traffic itself to make a BAPI request is effectively the same as any client user traffic. There will obviously be limitations on performance and throughput, with network and server constraints added to the number and size of the R/3 requests, but there is no magic formula to plug-in because of all of these variables.
If you are using 12.0 (or plan to migrate when it goes GA) then taking advantage of the JRA (java resource adapter) and the associated application server pooling that it offers on the NetWeaver side of things will greatly help you in the throughput capacity.
If you have put some of your xMII application into either test or productive use and are running into issues then I would highly recommend entering the specifics into the customer / partner support portal so that they can help you through any associated problems.

Error in starting SAP GUI as part of an Java RFC call from a PC

Hi,
We are on the 4.6C version of SAP and have the latest basis kernel patches that allow an RFC connection to start the SAP GUI. The program that I am running externally is java using the 3.0.1 JCo. The OS of the PC I am using is Windows XP. The SAPGUI version is 7.10 patch level 11.
The program seems to be working properly as the command prompt window goes grey as if there is another window being opened but then I get back this error message and I do not see the GUI.
The message I am getting back is:
Exception in thread "main" com.sap.conn.jco.JCoException:(136) JCO_ERROR_ILLEGAL_STATE:Launching SAP GUI failed, though it was requested(error message:Communication with SAPGUI timed out)

I have been all over trying to find the solution to this and have come up empty. Any help will be greatly appreciated. If this is the wrong forum for this please let me know and I will re-post.
Thank you in advance for any information you can pass on about the issue,
Mark

Hi Greetson,
Thank you in advance for your response. It is greatly appreciated.
1) In a way yes. I am using the connection setting USE_SAPGUI = 1. This is suppose to start the GUI prior to starting the RFC's program run. If this is not correct please let me know.
2) The code is part of the JCo and the RFC library from what I have read. If this is not correct please let me know.
3) I am only testing from my PC at this moment. I have re-installed my SAP GUI and am now at patch level 13 on 7.10.
4) The application passes in the connection information which includes username and password along with the parameters for the RFC call. I would like the SAP GUI to open without the user having to re-enter his/her username and password. I thought that once the RFC is called using the dialog users credentials that the GUI would then open using the connection. I have used the java pooled connection method and it still does not open the GUI.
5) The purpose is to pass Equipment objects, Functional Location objects and Leak Id objects to an RFC to open a list screen from IW39, List Maintenance Order transaction, for display of each at one pass, as well as open Excel with data from classification for the Leak Id's.
Hope this sheds some light on the problem I am having. Please let me know if more information is needed.
Best regards,
Mark

RFC calls with SAP table insert - lock tables

Hi,
I have an external server program, which is calling a rfc function many times the same time with different transaction types. There are transaction types, which are downloading information from SAP (only send data back to the caller), and there are transaction types which are uploading data to SAP (inserting/updating data on SAP).
The function calls are synchronous as the server needs to get feedback directly. The parallel work processes for RFC calls are limited, so a system overload can´t happen.
The problem now is, if the server is down for while and going to be restarted, it´s opening parallel threads and calls the function in SAP at nearly the same time. That means, it will call the function with upload requests (table must be locked), and download requests the same time.
In the upload requests, the table has to be locked, that it can´t occur that we get wrong entries...
I can only enqueue the table with just two fields... I know, that is almost like locking the whole table, but it´s not possible to lock it in a different way.
I tried to use the enqueue function with the parameter WAIT, but it didn´t help, as there where too many parallel calls and after some seconds, they were ending up with an error (Because the table has been locked by another call).
It seems that it´s trying to lock the table again for all parallel calls at exactly the same time....
The calls has to be synchronous, as the server needs to get the feedback directly. Any ideas how top solve this, that it handles all incoming calls parallel and waits for the table is unlocked again?
Thank you for your help!

Hi,
thank you for your answer!
I have investigated something new yesterday:
I thought at the beginning, that the problem just occurs, when the system work processes are reached. The system has for example set up 15 dialog processes and the external server is calling the function 20 times in parallel. Then we normally need 5 dialog processes more. The system is taking then all 15 dialog processes and the locks got stucked.
That means, that I´ll maybe only get 4 or 5 uploads, which have really been updated the tables. All the others couldn´t get the table locked for their process.
But if I now let the server call the function just about 13 times in parallel, nearly all uploads have been updated the table!
From my point of view, the lock from SAP gets stucked, when the limit of dialog processes is reached. It´s not working in the right way anymore...
The same is happening, when you set up in the system, that only 10 work proecesses can be used by RFC. If I have more than 10, it´s going to be critical with the locks....
WEIRD!
Can anybody help me out of trouble?
Thank you!

SAP adapter giving the merged result set (First RFC call data + Second RFC call data) for second RFC call

I have a WCF Adapter service to call a SAP RFC. When I call the RFC first time, it gives me correct no of result set but when I call this RFC second time immediately after first call, it gives me merged result set (First Result set + Second Result Set).
e.g. We have a RFC which receives vendor number and blank object of result set as parameter and gives back the list of purchase orders as Response in object of result set for that vendor.
Suppose, we have a vendor "a" and vendor "b". For vendor "a" there are 5 purchase orders and for vendor "b", we have 4 purchase orders in SAP. When I call the WCF adapter service for this RFC for vendor "a",
it gives me 5 purchase orders. Immediately after first call, when I call WCF service for vendor "b", it gives me 9 (5+4) purchase order records which is wrong.
In brief, one RFC call is affected by its previous call.
For each new WCF request, a new object of result set is created, connection is opened, rfc is executed and connection is closed.
Can anybody have any idea on this?
Thanks.
Thanks, Nishant Gupta

RFC calls with SAP JCO and IBM resource adapter for SAP - basic tuning

Hi experts,
we are working on a java portal connected to a backend system SAP by calling RFCs.
On our first integration tests, it appears to be quite slow fetching data from SAP by calling the remote functions from the custom portal. We are using SAP JCo 3.0.6 and IBM resource adapter for SAP 7.0.0.3 to integrate SAP with our portal.
Is there any basic tuning to achieve to improve performances or any hint of where to tune in SAP ?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks a lot,
Jamal

Hi Jamal,
I understand you have already checked performance issues in the SAP Server. We had some problems with certain RFC calls and it turned out to be a badly developed ABAP sentence.
I'd recommend you to use httpwatch or another tool to check the response times from the browser, so you can point accurately where the is.

MII BLS Trasaction calling SAP RFC call - How to pass XML document as input parameter

Hi,
1. I am very new to the SAP and SAP xMII workbench.
I have a webpage with iGrid applet embedded on it. We have multiple rows in the iGrid applet that can be selected by user.
After selecting single or multiple grid rows user clicking a 'button' on the web page.
We are using iCommand applet (ExacuteQuery] to call the BLS transaction.
Using iCommand applet on the webpage we are passing parameters to BLS Transaction.
Would like to pass on the single/ multiple selected grid row values as a XML document to BLS Transaction variable which is an Input parameter for SAP RFC call.
I am using SAP JCo Session to make the RFC call.
Any pointers will be helpful.
2. Which is a best track in SAP training courses to get formal training.
Thanks,
Senthil

Hi Senthil,
What version of MII (or xMII) are you working with? There are some examples of this type of transaction in the wiki which you may want to download and take a look at.

Reset or Clear SAP user context by external RFC caller program

Hello,
I have a SAP system with performance problems due to a SAP user context starts using a lot of memory.
This user context comes from an External RFC caller program written in Delphi and which uses the SAP RFC SDK provided by SAPGUI 6.40: SAP Automation library, SAPFuntionsOCX, I mean, using methods in the object "SAPFunctions" in SAPFunctionsOCX in file "wdtfuncU.ocx", in SAPGUI directory.
Everytime we have performance problems, this RFC SAP user context is using near 1400 Mb of extended memory, although there is a lot of free physical RAM memory available, there are free dialog processes and CPU load is low (no more than 30%).
This performance problem is solved by closing the external program (written in Delphi) which connects to SAP via RFC.
This external program works for the warehouse management and connects to SAP several times per minute. Due to connection performance and the high frequency with which this external program must connect to SAP, the connection to SAP is not closed after each call to RFC SAP function modules.
The extended memory used by this SAP RFC user is growing along time. I detected, using ST03 transaction, that these user sessions have always the same transaction code hash, I mean, although the external programs call the same SAP RFC funcion modules several times (¡¡¡ always clearing the variables at the beginning and at the end of de ABAP code, with ABAP commands like REFRESH and FREE ¡¡¡¡) the technical transaction code is the same and I suppose the user context (in extended memory) is not deleted.
I think it is better than the external program close the context memory (similar to "/n" okcode in SAPGUI).
But we don't want to close the connection, because the external program connects to SAP with a high frequency, and the logon process is expensive.
Is there any way to send something similar to "/n" (end of transaction) from the external program? Is there any command in the SAP RFC SDK library (SAPFuntionsOCX or something similar?
I cannot find any method to do that in the object "SAPFunctions" in SAPFunctionsOCX in file "wdtfuncU.ocx", in SAPGUI directory.
Old information for Object Classes "SAPFunctions" in SAPFunctionsOCX in file "wdtfuncU.ocx", in SAPGUI directory, is described in the following URL:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_45b/helpdata/en/39/7e00d1ac6011d189c60000e829fbbd/frameset.htm
But I cannot find anything related to something similar to a "/n" in SAPGUI.
As I have the SAPGUI installed on my desktop, I can see all SAP RFC classes and methods from Excel, by opening the Visual Basic editor.
I am only asking a way to send to SAP a command to free the user context used for an open RFC session in order to avoid the memory used to be continuously growing, without having to close the RFC session.
The external program only calls a certain SAP function module periodically and we want to free the user context between calls without logging off. This is the same, very similar, as if we called that function from SAPGUI and we used "/n" in SAPGUI between calls.
Anyone can help me?
Thanks and best regards.

Hello,
I don't know if this will solve your problem, but you may be using MF 'RFC_CONNECTION_CLOSE' between each call of you RFC function.

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

SAP BW User getting locked by BO RFC calls

Hi,
we are encountering a problem with BO RFC calls locking SAP BW users that recently changed their password in BW.
Description of the problem in the ticket we raised at the SAP support:
SAP BO 4.1 SP2 Patch 4, linux installation
Backend: SAP BW 7.01 EHP8
BICS interface with SAP authentication
One of our users gets locked again and again in SAP BW (P19). The cause is a RFC connection that the BusinessObjects server (P59) tries to establish. The user used SAP BO last Friday for the last time and had to change his password in P19 this Tuesday. We think that there is some
process within SAP BO still trying to connect to SAP BW from time to time, using the old password. There is no open session visible for that user in the CMC. User is even getting locked when not in the office and during night time. RFC calls are established almost regualary every hour.
We already had this behaviour in our test-system. Restarting the BO-Server solved it. However, this is not the solution we want to use
in the productive environment. There has to be some way to kill the process that uses the old password on the BO server without restarting
the whole server. We do not understand why BO would still try to connect to BW with the old password - this has to be some kind of a bug.
Meanwhile the error disappeared for the first user (some days after it started, maybe the BO process ran into a timeout). However, other users started having the same behaviour after changing their password.
Our basis team tried to check the log files for advanced information on the conversations between BO and BW, but did not find any hints on which BO process might try to establish the connections.
The SAP support seems to be a little helpless at the moment...
Has anyone had similar problems?
Regards,
Robert

Hi again,
additional information: after approximately one week after the error appeared for the first time BO stops trying to establish the rfc connection for this specific user. Almost as if the "old-password-BO-process" ran into a 1 week timeout or something like that.
The problem is really strange. The SAP support is still not able to tell us how the gather the information they require.
Regards,
Robert

Send data to ECC table through RFC Call function from SAP B1 via b1if

Hi,
I have created scenario in B1if which triggers from SAP B1, now I have to send this data in to ECC table, so I have created scenario for that with inbound SAP B1, outbound void and in process RFC Call atom is there but I am not getting data in receiver and also how to write xml to send data in RFC function. Function for RFC has configured from ECC end and have access of that function.
So please help me to send data to ECC table through RFC Call function from SAP B1 (9.0) via b1if

RFC Call failing at SAP because of output schema (Response) sent from Biztalk

Hi,
I have deployed the Request/Response message with SAP. Getting RFC Request from SAP in a Request-Response Port. After processing the message, sending it throght same port.
At SAP side the reponse got failed for below error:
Action in response message is
http://Microsoft.LobServices.Sap/2007/03/Rfc/Z_TEST_RFCResponse. Expected Action is
http://Microsoft.LobServices.Sap/2007/03/Rfc/Z_TEST_RFC/response.
I checked my schema file (created by Consume Adapter Services ), there it shows action as
http://Microsoft.LobServices.Sap/2007/03/Rfc/Z_TEST_RFC/response. But still why it is passing RFCResponse at SAP end?
Thanks, Girish R. Patil.

Hello Girish,
Since you are using receive request-response port, it is not possible to mention the action in physical port,
So, You need to assign the Action in Orchestration...For that you use the message assignment shape...inside it write the following code...this will work...!
Response(WCF.Action) = "http://Microsoft.LobServices.Sap/2007/03/Rfc/Z_TEST_RFC/response";
Where Response is name of the response message...!

Naveen.

Multiple session open in SAP on JCO function call with setSAPGUI(2)

Dear all
I have a standalone java program, which is internally calling an SAP function using JCO 2.0.
This SAP function is internally calling a tCode using ABAP4_CALL_TRANSACTION.
I have set SAPGUI to 2.
            mConnection =
                    JCO.createClient("XXX", "user", "password", "lang", "host", "num", "", "");
            System.out.println("SAPGUI set to 2");
            mConnection.setSapGui(2);
            mConnection.setProperty("jco.destination.name", "SAPGUI");
            mConnection.connect();
SAP GUI is launched with the desired tCode on execution of this java program.
But the issue is there are three sessions on SAP, when checked from SM04.
550     USERNAME     HOSTNAME          13.09.00     1     RFC     0
550     USERNAME     HOSTNAME     TCODE     13.09.00     1     RFC     4
550     USERNAME     HOSTNAME          13.09.00     1     GUI     0
The sessions are active even after JCO connection is disconnected and java program terminates.
Can anybody help in this.
Thanks a lot
Regards
Ruhi Hira

Hi Peter,
Thanks for the prompt response.
I would surely check with the ABAPer's on your observation. However there is one more observation that is worrying me.
If I use the given code with just one record in JCO.Table, the first push to SAP works with data getting inserted into the SAP table. However subsequent to this no records get inserted into SAP even though i populate JCO.Table with just one record.
Also just a small correction to what I had stated earlier - If I use the code with multiple records in JCO.Table no records got inserted into SAP.
Thanks
Mohid

Assigning value returned from RFC call to a global variable

If I have an RFC call to SAP how can I assign the value returned to a global variable on my data services job?

Hi,
For now, it seems u haven't specified the destination properly. the call function statement must be suffixed with the 'destination' addition to make sure that the function call is an RFC and the particular function be executed at the desired destination.
