RFC synchronous receiver

[Former Member]

Hi ,

I have a to call a Function Module and if it finishes successfully i have to send a mail to users intimating the same.

The function module typically takes around 7 mins to finish because of the large number of transactions that have to be processed.

If I make a call from XI to this FM through the RFC adapter, will the call timeout?

Or is timeout not an issue?

Where is this setting maintained and how do i see the value?

Hi,

>>>If I make a call from XI to this FM through the RFC adapter, will the call timeout?

sync rfc call should not take more then 30 sec - if more do it in an async way

timeout will be an issue otherwise

Thanks for the response Michal.

Where is this setting maintained in the server?

hi,

it's best to have a look at my blog:

/people/michal.krawczyk2/blog/2006/06/08/xi-timeouts-timeouts-timeouts

but the point is: not to change those settings as your XI does not need then changed at all !

you should use different technique (async) to process 7 mins calls

so please keep that in mind when something goes wrong on PRD in 7 mins sync calls

Why not intimate the users by mail sent from ECC system? There is no need to receive the response in PI. Just send mail from RFC directly.

Hi All,

I wanted to know how long can XI do a RFC call without going to TIme Out.

Thats why I framed the scenario like that.

The scenario we have sends the Mail from the ECC system only not from XI.

Thanks for all your responses.

Considering the above two requirements it is better to go for an Async call to your FM....let it take its own time....once done configure another scenario (RFC --> XI/ PI --> Mail) to send the success mail.
