Minimal settings for RFC connection from PI

Dear all,

In case we need to connect to an ERP system by using RFC calls, what would be the minimal setup to achieve this for an RFC receiver scenario?

Is an RFC destination required on PI or can we just create a Business component (not a Business system) and put the ABAP server details into the receiver channel?

If we require an RFC destination, is there an API to create these or can it only be done manually in NWA on a single stack PO?

I don't think you need to define a business system in order to use RFC adapter. It should work with Business component.


And filling the ABAP server details is enough to establish the communication with receiver system.

Thank you for your respone!

So RFC destinations or any other basis related settings will not be required as long as both have network connection towards each other, right? So also on the ABAP system we don't need to define anything except for a communication user with the authority to execute the RFCs that we need?

You are right. You don't need to do anything else.

You can just create a business component. RFC defines the type of channel. It can be attached to a business component. There are API's for creating and maintaining channels. If you go to NWA->SOA->Single Service Administration, you can see a list of built-in webservices for managing integrated configurations and channels. You will also need the change list service since modifying Integration objects requires a change list.

I know the directory API, but I wondered if there is also an API for NWA things, like RFC destinations.
