RFC call - RfcClientException: functiontemplate from repository was <null>

[Former Member]

Hi all,

We are attempting to retrieve data from the ABAP stack of XI via the RFC adapter. However the call to the RFC is returning the following error:

<SAP:Error xmlns:SAP="http://sap.com/xi/XI/Message/30" xmlns:SOAP="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" SOAP:mustUnderstand="1">

<SAP:Category>XIAdapterFramework</SAP:Category>

<SAP:Code area="MESSAGE">GENERAL</SAP:Code>

<SAP:P1 />

<SAP:P2 />

<SAP:P3 />

<SAP:P4 />

<SAP:AdditionalText>com.sap.aii.af.ra.ms.api.DeliveryException: error while processing message to remote system:com.sap.aii.af.rfc.core.client.RfcClientException: functiontemplate from repository was <null></SAP:AdditionalText>

<SAP:ApplicationFaultMessage namespace="" />

<SAP:Stack />

<SAP:Retry>M</SAP:Retry>

</SAP:Error>

I have already come across SAP note 730870 but it didn't help.

Any suggestion?

Many thanks,

Aldo

Increase the Number of connections parameter value in the RFC Adapter and check.

Hi all,

I have found the problem.

The mapping to the RFC request was not creating the correct namespace prefix in the root xml element.

I have downloaded the file rfcnormalizer.jar from SAP note 730870 and used it in my interface mapping. It solved the problem.

Hi Nisar,

I have increased the Maximum Connections number from 1 to 5 but I am getting the same result.

Hi,

In Runtime workbench just open the adapter engine --> communication channel --> Open the RFC communication channel.

Press Stop and then start it.

This will avoid the error.

Thanks
