Sender RFC adapter - Tight coupling to an SAP client

[Former Member]

Hi ,

We are using a sender RFC adapter to receive a RFC request from SAP , process the request in XI and then send back a response to SAP.

Our requirement is that , this request may come from different SAP clients(client 100, 130 , 200 etc). Looks like RFC adapter configured under a Business System in XI cannot listen to calls from multiple clients and works for only one client. We get dumps in SAP when invoking this RFC from other clients.

Also i hear that the same program id cannot be used in two different RFC sender adapters, meaning i have to create a different RFC destination , create a different program id for each client in SAP.

Is there a way around for this issue ?

Thanks

Hi Saravana,

you may try a little workaround:

configure your rfc adapter only with client 100

and try invoking RFC from clients: 130 , 200

on the client 100 first (with a dummy RFC on client 100)

and then from this dummy RFC on client 100 you can start your standard RFC with your rfc adapter

don't know any other way:)

Michal , nice workaround . Looks like this is the only way, althoe it may hurt the performance of the interface, since we expect a response in real time but ll ve to make 2 RFC calls for this.

Hi:)

you should have seen some of the workarunds

I've seen with XI but the "strange" thing is that they work

Hi,

if your basis is on 6.2 or above, you could use client abap proxies instead. Infact abap proxies is the recomended way instead of using RFC Adapter.
