Timeout during RFC-Call

if you call a SAP-function via RFC from an external RFC-client, the function runs in a SAP dialog-process and a timeout can occur dependent on the runtime.
do anybody know a possibility to run the RFC-function in a batch-workprocess ? perhaps a asynchronous RFC (aRFC) or transactional RFC (tRFC) can guarantee this ? or perhaps I can configure the RFC-connection in any way in SM59 ?
thanks and regards
torsten manhardt

Yes, you can run an RFC FM in batch. You might also check if you are calling the same RFC multiple times in a loop. If so, see if you can run it once, but return all the data you need in a table.

Hi Gurus,
Below are the error and steps when i perform Payroll Posting to Accounting. To enable communication between distributed systems, the appropriate method have been specified in ALE Customizing for the objects of the following tables. (Basis -> Application Link Enabling (ALE) -> Modelling and Implementing Business Processes -> Maintain Distribution Model and Distribute Views.)

Hi,
Probably because of timeout, it is unable to execute the request ..so it is aborted.
btw, is it a synchronous call ? what is the message size ? the given data to RFC is correct and valid structure ? check the mapping .for this use the data from SXMB_MONI and test it

How to suppress message popup during RFC call

Hi expert,
I have a scenario where in my RFC i am calling a SAP Bapi. But while this BAPI calling few popups appear which should be clicked as YES and then it has to run further.
This "Pressing Yes" in popup is a manual way , i want it to be done automatically so that during my RFC call there is no interruption.
Is there any FM which can suppress this popup by saying YES and there is no stopping for my RFC.
Regards,
Abhishek

Hi ,
I am facing the similar problem. Let me know how did you solve this problem ?

XI to RFC Scenario: Runtime error during RFC Call

Hi,
I am testing a XI-to-RFC scenario involving BPM. The RFC works perfectly from SE37; but I get 'ICM_HTTP_TIMEOUT, Error code 402' when I invoke it from XI. On digging through the problem, it appeared that the calling program produced a short dump at the ABAP end. The code is as follows:
<b>module %_rfcdia_start output.
    "Do not display screen !
    call 'DY_INVISIBLE_SCREEN'.
    perform remote_function_diastart.
endmodule.
module %_rfcdia_call output.
    "Do not display screen !
    call 'DY_INVISIBLE_SCREEN'.
    perform remote_function_diacall.
endmodule.
module %_cpic_start.
if sy-xprog(4) = '%RFC'.
    perform remote_function_call using rfctype_external_cpic.
else.
    call 'APPC_HD' id 'HEADER' field header id 'CONVID' field convid.
    perform cpic_call using convid.
endif.
endmodule.

    perform (sy-xform) in program (sy-xprog).

                  id 'RC'   value rc.
if there is no rollout on the JAVA side which
rolls both, JAVA and ABAP, we return to the
C-Stack and reach this point
in case there was an rollout, the ABAP-C stack is lost
and we jump direkt to this point
here we trigger the rollout on this Abap side with
the following statement
      system-call plugin
                  id 'JAVA' value 'ROLL_OUT'
                  id 'RC'   value rc.
    else.
      perform (sy-xform) in program (sy-xprog).
      rsyn >scont sysc 00011111 0.
    endif.</b>
Anybody has any idea why it is happening? Is it a network issue? The dump in ST22 says that 'The program "SAPMSYS1" was terminated manually'. How it is possible to manually abort an automatic call?
Awaiting reply.

Which paramter configures the timeout for rfc call (to R/3 ) from BPM

hi froum,
i have a scenario, with BPM, in which theres a synchronous send to a rcf Function Module in R/3,
now, can u tell me which paramter decides the time out for this Sync call to rfc enabled Function Module in R/3,
i mean which paramater in SXMB_ADM or anywhere else that dictates the time period

LUW implementation between RFC calls

Hi Experts,
I have a quick requirement in which i have to implement LUW explicitly during RFC call.My requirement is as below
I have 3 Rfc for a Ztable these are 1. Zcreate_entry , 2.Zupdate_entry and
3. Zdelete_entry. Now i want to create a explicit session for all the operation done by these Rfcs so that at the end of the session i can commit all the operations.
Example
User will call 1 RFC for leting me know that now start a new session.now user will insert 5 entry in Ztable by calling Zcreate_entry(Actually this data should not be saved in ZTable) , Update 4 Entry in Ztable by calling Zupdate_entry(Actually this data should not be updated in ZTable) , delete few entry same way.
Now user will call 1 Rfc for ending this session(for letting me know only that end this session) , At this point only all the data changes (inserted , updated and deleted ) should be actually reflected in database.
Regards,
Abhishek

Hi All,
If you have not got the problem , let me explain complete scenario.
There are three RFcs for creating , updating and deleting in database table(Ztable).
Now these Rfcs will be called from web dynpro, In WD screen user may call Create RFC 5 times for creating entry in Ztable ,then he can call Update RFC for updating in Ztable.
After doing all these operations in single session now he wants to end the session, so before closing the session WD notifies to backend that now at this point only save all the changes to the backend thus for all the operations commit will happen now only.
*Another requirement is * that from WD screen if user1 has created 5 records but he has not commited these changes to database now if User1 searches for just inserted recorded(which is not commited yet) , how to provide these records to the User1 because these records are not in Ztable at that point of time.

Abhishek

RFC call screen

Hi All,
Can we use Call screen or Call transaction in RFC.
Regards
Krishna

Hi,
As far as I know if an FM(BAPI) is called from the legecy as RFC it will return you the table that data you can acess.
as far as call screen is concern inside an FM it is quite possible but during RFC call u can't see the screen.
call transaction is also possible but dont expect u will get the transaction screen u will get the resultant data.

RFC error text: timeout during allocate / CPIC-CALL: 'ThSAPCMRCV'

I am having this error pop up very frequently on some new SAP systems. This will randomly happen and keep us from being able to release transports and import them in STMS. I receive the following error:
There was an attempt to start the transport control program tp using the local RFC interface.
An error occurred here.
Error code: 4
RFC error text: timeout during allocate / CPIC-CALL: 'ThSAPCMRCV'
- When I check the Transport Tool (STMS: import queue> check> transport tool) I get the following information:
timeout during allocate / CPIC-CALL: 'ThSAPCMRCV' : cmRc=20 thRc=456#Time
out during connection setup (check that partner exists
- When checking the TP System Log I receive the same error. The RSTPTEST report does not give any additional information. SM21 shows a warning and an error:
Warning:
Communication Error, CPIC return code 020, SAP Return code 456
Dialog Process No. 000
Problem cl: SAP web AS problem
Package: STSK
Further Details:
Module Name: thxxhead
Line: 7488
Error Text: 020456
Caller: ThRecei
Error:

Package: STTO
All of these errors are only pointing to a time out. I cannot figure out why this is happening. I checked the TMS RFC connection in SM59 and they are fine. I have been able to work around this issue in 2 different ways. First, I can delete the files in the "\trans\tmp" directory on the server. Sometimes this resolves the error. Else I have to restart the system.
I need to understand where this issue is coming from and how to resolve it. It is becoming more and more frequent. Thank you for your help!

Hi,
i have had similar issues during this week. After looking for a solution everywhere i found out that i didn't set up the FQDN on this system.
Symptoms were:
se38 > RSTPTEST timed out sometimes(not always)
sm59 > TCP/IP connections > CALLTP_WindowsNT > test connections timed out sometimes (again, not always)
STMS Overview > Systems: I was not always able to distribute and activate configuration from the Domain controller via Extras > Distribute and Activate Configuration (it died on the mentioned system)
Transports failed mostly with the same error.
The error log was somewhere deep in ST11. It could not resolve our FQDN.
The solution, for me, was to add our FQDN to the WINDIR\System32\drivers\etc\hosts file.
We upgraded the kernel as well (from 7.20 patch 046 to most current) but this didn't help.
The FQDN is a concatenation of computer name and dns suffix of the network (if you have none, you can add one via rightclick on the used network adapter>ipv4>properties>Advanced>DNS tab, so in the end the host file looked like
127.0.0.1 localhost computer-name.ourSuffix.com
After this line has been added, the error stopped and the transports work again.
I hope it helps. Good luck.

RFC error: timeout during allocate/CPIC-CALL: 'ThSAPCMRCV'#

Hi folks,
We experienced this error while trying to carry out transport into the Production Server- RFC error:timeout during allocate/CPIC-CALL: 'ThSAPCMRCV'#.
I have checked connection tests,RFC, they look fine.
Anyone experienced this before?
Thanks.

hi,
please check :
SM59 > R/3 Connection > TMS Communication Interface generated --> is the connection OK ?
also check in :
STMS --> is the transport configured properly ?

That /boltons/D01/vertex/3.3/TransLink/verrfc is located on the same server as the SAP application, so i cannnot figure out why is showing partner not available/timeouts, when is pinging a program on the same server.
I have tried restarting the Dispatcher
rfc/use_gwstart =1
Increased CPIC timeout value gw/cpic_timeout =120 (Increased CPIC timeout)
I have also searched thru these notes but still no luck
Note 581509 - Reasons for timeout during allocate
Note 638701 - Starting RFC servers takes too long
Note 948636 - Starting executables locally using RFC
The only workaround for this, is restarting the SAP Application, in order to have the RFC working again, but this seems an overkill to fix an RFC Ping Issue.
All ECC Systems have the same program version and configuration but only Dev system is facing this.
The whole point of this, is why when the system is shut down in order to perform an offline backup causes this, and the only way to fix this, is shutting down/start up the system again.
If you have some ideas of what could be causing this, it's would be highly appreciated.
Martin

Hi Martin,
We are experiencing the same issue with SAP/Vertex. Can you let me know how you resolve this? Did you change the SAP gateway timeout parameter? If so, which one is it?
Your help on this is greatly appreciated.
Thanks much!

Hi all,
I was transporting the request in my landscape last week and all of sudden transports in acceptance system is not working and I am getting a error message as

some of the posts on forum suggested i should try from same domain i tried but in vain, then i updated the SAP kernel from 7.01 sp 14 to sp 55. but i am still facing the problem.
i created this system recently using system copy based upon export image of a system (ABAP stack ) but using ABAP+Java during export process (by mistake). then we tried to build system using import (ABAP stack only i know its weird but its up and running). I assume we should have builf export imgae using ABAP method but some how due to lack of time we proceeded this way.
The main problem i see is TP RFC . The output from prgram RSTPTEST is as below
everythign is fine except below entries
under RFC destination
EFC ping - timeout during allocate / CPIC-CALL: 'ThSAPCMRCV' : cmRc=20 thRc=456#Time out during connection setup (check that partner exists
under TP call
RFC link and Offline Call shws me the same error as RFC ping. and there is no output from tp version and DB connect.
Can anybody please help me on the same.

MDX Error: timeout during allocate / CPIC-CALL: 'ThSAPCMRCV' (NW 7.0)

Hello everyone,
while trying to execute an MDX Statement on NW 7s SAP BI i ran into the "timeout during allocate / CPIC-CALL: 'ThSAPCMRCV'" error.
I searched these forums for a solution an found SAP Note 1032461.
The Problem is: it only applys to older versions of the NetWeaver. NW 7 seems to have a new RFC library.
Is there another solution for this problem in NW 7?

I found the solution.
The note was right, but i used the wrong .dll.

STMS error - Timeout during allocate / CPIC-CALL: 'ThSAPCMRCV'

Dear Experts,
We are facing issue in releasing or importing TRs.
1.When releasing TRs in DEV server, it is showing error message "Could not start control program TP" on status bar. But repeating the same process went successful.
2. While Importing TRs into QAS, at the time of refreshing queue/adjusting import queue, it pops-up error " timeout during allocate / CPIC-CALL: 'ThSAPCMRCV' .But after repeating same process, TRs were impoted successfully.
We had performed the following in DEV & QAs:
1. Upgraded kernel to patch level 137.
2. After that replaced TP & R3trans with latest patch levels 169.
3. Re-configured STMS
4. Restarted Server.
Also checked,
(i). Report RSTPTEST in se38- sometimes successful; sometimes error :"timeout during allocate / CPIC-CALL: 'ThSAPCMRCV' (ii). RFC "CALLTP_WindowsNT" in sm59 Connection is OK.
Please help.
Thank you in advance.
Regards

Hi,
Check below link if it helps:
Re: STMS
Pls also check below things :
- check that the "Gateway Options" are maintained in SM59 and the sapdp00/sapgw00 are maintained in the etc/services files. SAP Note 52959
- Please check SAP Note 773830 if you are on a cluster environment.
For the error regarding timeout during allocate / CPIC-CALL: 'ThSAPCMRCV' please check SAP Notes 581509, 566566.
