Hi,

RFC adapter is used when u want to pass data from R/3 to other sytem via XI .BAPI is invoked in the r/3 side and data from the BAPI is migrated thru XI to other system. RFC sender CC acts as the sender. And when data from the 3rd party is posted in to R/3 via XI thru some BAPI RFC receiver CC is used.

Thanks,

Hi Arjit,

even we will use IDOC to send the data from R/3.

So please explain in detail

Full points will be awarded definitely

Hi,

Refer this link from SAP help to know everything about an RFC adapter.

http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/25/76cd3bae738826e10000000a11402f/frameset.htm

As suggested in one of the Blogs,The use case can go like this

1.Use Idoc adapter if standard idoc is available to meet the business requirements.

2.Use RFC adapter if the data volume is less and there are standard BAPIu2019s available to achieve the functionality otherwise we face critical performance bottlenecks.

3.Best option is to use a proxy while handling large volumes and developing a custom business processes.

Apart from this you have various threads and Blogs on this forum specific to your requirement.Just make use of the search option .

Hope this helps,

Cheers,

Mohan.

Hi Amruth,

Yes we can use both idoc and rfc to transfer data from R/3 or

receive data to R/3,

Idoc can olny transfer data but RFC can do some other functionalities (depending on the code coded in RFC) while transferring data.

I mean to say both will transfer data but the way they transfer internally are different.

Hi amruth,

For sending idoc specifically IDoc adapter is there .....so RFC adapter is not required for that.

But for calling BAPI s RFC adapter is required.

Hi..

RFC Adapter converts the incoming RFC calls to XML and XML messages to outgoing RFC calls. We can have both synchronous (sRFC) and asynchronous (tRFC) communication with SAP systems. The former works with Best Effort QoS (Quality of Service) while the later by Exactly Once (EO).

Unlike IDoc adapter, RFC Adapter is installed on the J2EE Adapter Engine and can be monitored via Adapter Monitoring and Communication Channel Monitoring in the Runtime Workbench.

RFC Sender Adapter

In this case, Sender SAP system requests XI Integration Engine to process RFC calls. This could either be synchronous or asynchronous

RFC Receiver Adapter

In this case, XI sends the data in the RFC format (after conversion from XML format by the receiver adapter) to the target system where the RFC is executed.

Hi,

RFC Sender cc is used when you send a RFC from R/3 to XI.

RFC Receiver cc is used when you invoke a RFC from XI to R/3.
