Performance Evaluation for SOAP and RFC in SAP Netweaver Platform

Former Member

Hello there,

does anyone know the paper "Performance Evaluation for SOAP and RFC in SAP Netweaver Platform" by Zhibin, Jandhyala & Koduvayur and can summarize its conclusions?

Or could you point me to some other material on this topic? In particular, we are facing a decision as to how to couple an external application to SAP, use SAP JCo 3 or user SAP Enterprise Services. Customer is worried that web services are too slow as compared to RFC.

Further search on the forums revealed [this thread|;, which is 2 years old and from a different context (.NET instead of Java). However, it clearly indicates that RFC calls are the way to go if speed is your concern. I'd be interested in further opinions. -- Sebastian

perhaps I should have added that the paper referred to is a ICWS 2010 paper, and that the authors are apparently affiliated with SAP Labs in Scottsdale, AZ. So I would expect that SAP could make this information available somewhere. -- Sebastian
