HI

To connect Engine to SAP system , U need to have some connection called Jco Connections.

while creating Jcos, you have to use the account needed for SAP R/3 logon.

So the server in which JCO destinations are created acts like a medium to retrive data from SAP R/3 backend.

The main purpose os RFC destination is have connectivity from some server(which you are using for your application) to any R/3.

Hope U got the purpose of RFC destination.

Hi,

The main purpose of RFC Destination is to communicate SAP/Non SAP Systems. For thie you need to maintain RFC Connectors @ SM59 tcode. If you want to send the data from one system to other system you should have/set idoc & ALE communcation between systems.

Please refer ABAP-Cross Application for more details

Hi Rahul,

The use of RFC destination is:

Applications or services can establish connections to other services. When using such connections, you need to specify the remote serviceu2019s address and the user authentication information to use for the connection. Many applications use the Destination service for this purpose.

The Destination service supports the following types of destinations:

· HTTP(S)

· RFC

Not all applications use the Destination service. Some applications have their own connection maintenance tools. For example, you configure the connection information for the RFC Adapter in the Integration Server configuration or in the Partner Connectivity Kit (PCK). Therefore, make sure you make the connection configuration in the correct location.

Please check this link which shows how do you Configure and Maintain the RFC destination:
