Configure FAX in SAP

[Former Member]

Hi ALL,

I am in a process of configuring FAX in our SAP server we are on Linux (MAX-DB)

In SCOT i have created a node under FAX as SXC1.

I have assigned the node to an RFC destination under TCP/IP and assigned an " PROGRAM ID " .

When i do an connection test it is ended up with an error

Logon    Connection Error

Error Details    Error when opening an RFC connection

Error Details    ERROR: program ZTEST not registered

Error Details    LOCATION: SAP-Gateway on host <HOST> / sapgw59

Error Details    DETAIL: TP ZTEST not registered

Error Details    COMPONENT: SAP-Gateway

Error Details    COUNTER: 8152

Error Details    MODULE: gwr3cpic.c

Error Details    LINE: 1778

Error Details    RETURN CODE: 679

Error Details    SUBRC: 0

Error Details    RELEASE: 700

Error Details    TIME: Mon Dec 17 06:07:27 2012

I was trying to register the program using below mentioned command using <SIDADM> with putty but still the error persists

rfcexec -gZTEST -a<host> -xsapgw59

when i execute the above command there is no action  happening just exiting the screen

Please help me in moving forward i cannot see the entry in SMGW also.

Thanks in Advance,

Vardhan.

Hi Vardhan,

To send fax from SCOT or from SAP you needto use third party software like ( KoFax).

I am currently using KoFax and its working fine for me.You can install trial version of KoFax software in a PC and try for outbound fax.

On the SCOT you have to configure a node ( as follows) for FAX and that will intern based on RFC conncetion. It will not use your SMTP protocol

As far as i know you send fax with SMTP nowadays. Thus if you really want to send out FAX, then you need a third party software able to receive documents over SMTP.

What you were trying to configure is a third party software able to connect with RFC. You would need to tell that software to register as "PROGRAM ID" on your gateway to make this work. But as i told you, you should use SMTP.
