Inbound RFC - Where to create connection?

[Former Member]

Hi all,

I have an inbound RFC interface (XI -> R/3).

Does an RFC connection need to be created? If yes, does the connection get created in SM59 on the R/3 system or on the XI system?

Thanks!

Hi Daniel,

You dont need to create RFC for inbound RFC.

Specify the type of the RFC server. It can be an SAP System and that doest need any RFC connection to be created. It can be an External RFC Server. For this you need to create RFC connection that will register external system under a SAP gateway.

Thanks

You don't need to create unless the receiver system is external RFC server.

So just so I understand the technology, does XI have some sort of standard connection for inbound RFCs or does XI create the connection automatically with the parameters from the receiver RFC adapter?

Thanks!

Hi Daniel,

It creates the connection automatically based on your receiver RFC adapter's parameters. it works on the same concept as when you try to import any IDOC or RFC in your Integration Repository. If you remember you just give the IP address, system ID, user name & password there and it connects to respective R3 system automatically to import the IDOC or RFC.

Hi,

You don't need to create RFC connection for inbound RFC (( XI-->RFC).

In receiver RFC communication channel you can specify server details and user name n password.
