RFC in ECC6

[Former Member]

Hi Gurus,

Is it possible to call an RFC using .NET in SAP ECC6? If so can you teach us how?

Thanks and Regards,

Please note that ECC 6.0 is based on NetWeaver 7.0.

this means that the system uses case-sensitive passwords.

In older releases of RFC-libraries (.NET connectors) the password is passed in uppercase only.

So in order to make it work, the communication-user (in ECC 6.0) password must be stored in uppercase.

This is always the case when mixing Netweaver 7.0 with libraries/executables from older releases.

Andre,

I believe [Softwise SAP Explorer|http://www.softwise.com.ar/products.php] can be used as an RFC tool for VS 2005 & 2008, and it doesn't require you to have VS 2003 since this tool will generate the proxy for you. Hopefully it helps

(please reward point if usefull)

Hi Andre,

yes, that's enough to call an RFC in ECC 5 from .NET.

Hi,

How about if I'm connecting to an ECC6 server?

Hi Andre,

it also works with ECC6, we made a couple of tests and everything worked.

Hi,

Thanks for the responses. Currently we are using SAP .NET Connector 1.1.0. Is it enough to use in order to call an RFC to SAP ECC5?

Hi Andre,

you can use the .NET Connector, but this would mean you have to use VS 2003 in order to generate the proxies which then can be used in VS 2005. You can als expose the RFC as Web Service, see http://download.microsoft.com/download/5/7/f/57f1490e-8a8d-497b-bbae-ec2a44b3799f/SAPNetweaverWebSer... for more details. I would recommend using the Web Service approach. If you are using .NET 3.0 you can also generate a WCF proxy for connecting to the Web Service from ECC 6.

Thanks,

Hi Andre,

yes, u can call RFC using .NET in SAP ECC 6.0 and it can be achieved using SAP .NET connector which u need to download and install in the developer machine where .NET is installed.

For more info on calling RFC using .NET connector,<a href="https://www.sdn.sap.comhttp://www.sdn.sap.comhttp://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/92333e6b-0b01-0010-9cbf-fecd62d6c895">SAP Article</a>

Hope it Helps.
