Target system(Destination) for RFC call ?

[Former Member]

Need some help in calling an RFC for xi interface.

For triggering the data in to xi , RFC needs to be called. This RFC can be called using an ABAP Program / report . BUT inorder to call that RFC a Destination / Target system needs to be defined . Even though RFC destinations can be managed by transaction SM59 what will be the target system for calling this RFC in a generic sense?

Like what destination i should be expecting this code : ?

REPORT Z_TEST.

CALL FUNCTION 'ZFunctest' destination ????

Please suggest

Hi Krishna,

Here is destination is XI, i.e you are sending into destination system..

Moorthy,

Setting mention in the blog, will be done by BASIS people.

Krishna,

As a developer u need not worry. Just put a request to BASIS guys asking them to create an RFC destination.

Correct me if there is anything.

Thanks,

Yes i now understand the scenario : well is this statment correct ?

When we say like this :

CALL Function 'ZTEST' Destination SIDCLNT015

does this mean ZTEST should be there in destination system ? which means the RFC i am writing should be there on xi systems whose system id is SID ?

As i heard some where that ZTEST should be there on targetsystem i call for ?

Please suggest

you should define the RFC destination name as input parameter to your report. then you can call that report e.g. in a batch job with whatever destination is being created. if you hardcode a destination name you always have the problem that it could be changed and thath would need a correction to the program.

Thanks for your input Christine , well still the question is lets say i am using the statment to call RFC "ztest"

CALL FUNCTION 'ZTEST' DESTINATION 'xyzclnt100'

When i use this statement does this mean ZTEST should be there on target system i.e. xyz , which is xi box ?

by conclusively saying so means the Func module ZTEST resides in xi box and i initiate the call from R/3 ?

HI Krishna,

The FM -ZTEST, can be in any SAP System(including XI's abap stack),

what XI requires is that in the Sender RFC Adapter with which you register to R/3, the details of the system where the FMs reside needs to be given in the RFC metadata repository parametrs....

Thanks,
