Registered Server Program not being registered?

[Former Member]

Hi,

first of all, I'm an ABAPer, not a Basis guy, so i apologize if i'm not giving all the info required to solve this issue.

We have a program that's scheduled to run every morning at 4am. This program calls an RFC to XI and sends data to an external SQL database.

it seems that EVERY Sunday, after full backups, the initial run of this program fails. If it fails, the job is run up to 3 more times. Almost 100% of the time, one of the successive runs works.

And when I say a successive run works, I mean a duplicate job that's been kicked off, literally less than 1 minute later, will run fine.

Also, the job will sporadically fail during the week on its first run, yet successive runs will work.

it seems to me that there is a problem registering the program that my ABAP program calls.

any ideas on what I ask my basis/XI team to check for?

points will be awarded.

thanks,

rp.

We don't understand why this program fails to register itself a few times per week.

can you check the dev_rfc traces on the CONNECTING systems also?

Hi Robert,

This program needs to be registered. "RFC2XMBSERVICE_HR2XIP".

Refer Note: 63930. This has a command to register this external program on SAP application server. Kindly let your basis guy know and he will register this program for you.

This program is used in the RFC communication which you can see in SM59 - TCP/IP connection type of connection (T).

Let me know if this was of help.
