SAP Sender System (RFC scenario)

[Former Member]

I don't understand who will initialize process of sending a message in case of RFC sender system.

I need to configure RFC destination in SAP System, configure XI RFC Sender Channel.

Will XI invoke RFC function on sender system? or Will sender system invoke RFC function on XI?

How to set up scheduling?

hi Denis,

>>>>Will XI invoke RFC function on sender system? or Will sender system invoke RFC function on XI?

if you want to send from the SAP then you have to

invoke the RFC youself

call function

desination

in background

commit work.

then all the values will go to the XI

that you passed in your RFC call

Does <b>yourself</b> means from SAP System?

How to schedule invoking? What do I need confugure in SAP System in order to allow users to initialize sending data from SAP System?

hi,

yes:)

>>>How to schedule invoking? What do I need confugure in SAP System in order to allow users to initialize sending data from SAP System?

you cna put the call function

in an ABAP raport and add this raport to a TCODE

and the user will only have to use the TCODE

to invoke data sending

Hi,

Also adding you may have a look at the weblog that Michal wrote,

/people/michal.krawczyk2/blog/2005/03/29/configuring-the-sender-rfc-adapter--step-by-step

And also this,

/people/arpit.seth/blog/2005/06/27/rfc-scenario-using-bpm--starter-kit

Not directly related but thought of sharing this with you.

All the best.

Thanks. I have read this blogs already...

One question more. Does XI connect to SAP System and wait for a RFC call? Is difficult to understand for me how this works internally

[Former Member]

Yes...

when the Sender communication channel is activated....it(XI) goes and registers in SAP's gateway with the mentioned program id....it is sort waiting for any call to come to it from SAP..

From SAP R/3 when the a call is made at a destination(where XI has registered), the call is taken up and processed by XI.

Thanks,
