Monitoring a RFC connection from AIX server

[Former Member]

Hi Experts,

I am using SAP ECC6 EHP 6 system with oracle 11.2 and AIX 6.1

I have registered a TCP/IP type rfc connection  to SAP gateway using below given command.

rfcexec -a <RFC Connection name> -g <Gateway server> -x <gateway service>

From SAP gui we can check this from SM59 -> RFC connection -> Connection Check.

Is there any way to check the same from AIX OS level also?

I want to receive mail if the RFC connection does not work.

Thanks,

Arijit

Hi Sriram,

Thanks for looking into this.

I am trying to monitor a RFC connection type of TCP/IP (type T in SM59)

Say the destination name is XYZ. I have tried to use the command as below.

rfcping type=T dest=XYZ

It gave me below error.

Group       Error group 101

Key         RFC_ERROR_PROGRAM

Message     RFC server type unknown (only 2, 3 or E available)

Please let me know what is the correct syntax of this tool.

Regards,

Hi Ashis,

I have run the report RSRFCCHK from SM30 and provided the RFC destination details.

I am running this in periodic background job and the spool is giving the report of connection test.

Is there any way we can send the spool output to a corresponding mail id?

Thanks,

Arijit
