CALL_FUNCTION_NOT_FOUND, garbage in function module name

Hello group

We had a Disaster/Recovery test this weekend.

We have a sync-ed SAP database on a second server which we activated.

SAP starts OK, normal functionality within SAP works fine, however incoming RFC calls seem to fail consistently.

Dumps CALL_FUNCTION_NOT_FOUND occur, with following details :

Function module "ÃÖmÆæmÇÖÖÄâmÔÖåÅÔÅÕãâmÂèmÁÆÆæ" not found.

So, the function module that needs to be called contains garbage in the name.

Any hints on this one ?

I already replaced the kernel with a copy if the Productive kernel, but no change.

Thanks

Jo

Hi Jo,

I converted ÃÖmÆæmÇÖÖÄâmÔÖåÅÔÅÕãâmÂèmÁÆÆæ from EBCDIC back to ASCII and saw the following:

CO_FW_GOODS_MOVEMENTS_BY_AFFW

))

=> I'm pretty sure, that you did this on a sysem where you had EBCDIC before and either IFS files or profiles are still "somehow EBCDIC" or whatever ...

at least it is surely an EBCDIC-ASCII issue ...

Hello Volker

thanks for the EBCDIC-ASCII translation.

Yes, the EBCDIC-ASCII situation also crossed my mind yesterday evening.

I checked, and indeed some of the profiles on the IFS are still EBCDIC-like.

So, I think I will delete the Fallback system and rebuild it from scratch with a homogeneous sys copy.

Thanks for your support !

This seems strange.

The calling systems, are they aware of the system being Unicode/non-unicode?

Hello Markus

the calling systems work OK against the main production SAP system.

So, since the fallback system is an exact copy, they should work OK against that system too.

It also happens for internal RFC calls (i.e. generated from within the SAP system).

For instance, immediatly when the SAP system is started we already get DUMPS by user SAPSYS, long before the external systems try to RFC in.

The function name looks to me as the test data, that is sent when you execute an RFC-Test out of SM59 and enable maximum tracing.

Check your developer traces for possible problems, in any case I´d open an OSS call.
