Problem with SSF: SSF_API_NOSECTK and SSF_RFC_ERROR

[Former Member]

Hello everyone.

I am trying to understand how SSF works.

I've downloaded SAP NetWeaver DB2Test Dirve with Suse Enterprise Server 10. Also I have WinXP and Ubuntu running on virtual machines. All virtual machines are in the same subnet. Both Windows and Ubuntu connect successfully to SAP server, I can make transactions etc.

I am trying to make some SSF library work. I've got three libraries

1) .dll for Windows.

2) .so for Ubuntu compiled from sample ssf library.

3) .so for Suse ES compiled from sample ssf library.

These libraries were checked successfully through ssftest.exe as described in SSF Test Plan.

But I can't get then work through SAP server. I tried to run SSFTEST/SSF01 from se38 transaction with parameter RFC Destination set as SAP_SSFATGUI and I got these problems:

1) on Windows, I've got SSF_API_NOSECTK error. But I've set %SSF_LIBRARY_PATH% environment variable correctly, so I don't get where the problem is.

2) on Ubuntu, I've got SSF_RFC_ERROR. $SSF_LIBRARY_PATH is also set correctly. As recommended, I've checked SAP_SSFATGUI connection through SM59 transaction and I've got Connection error at Logon action with error details "Error when opening an RFC connection". There is a recommendation "Make sure that the file ssfrfc.exe exists in the correct location" but what should i do if I'm trying to connect via java client? There is no anything like ssfrfc in its directory.

I've read SSF Test Plan, SSF_API, SSF User's Guide docs, but could get no clue what I am doing wrong:(

Thanks, but already tried this. BTW, ssftest works fine at Application server, problem occurs only when RFC destination is SAP_SSFATGUI

Thanks, but, unfortunately, these links didn't help me either.

I've found out that my problem with linux client occurs because linux java client doesn't include ssfrfc program as I thought. There are no any other clients for linux except java one and there is no way to install ssfrfc on linux, Am I right?

I solved my problem with windows client (Thanks to another forum). I've set %SSF_LIBRARY_PATH% and edited ssfrfc.ini properly and it looks like working now.
