RFC adapter not responding

[Former Member]

Hi guys,

We are facing the following problem:

We have a receiver RFC adapter that executes some RFC functions on a SAP R/3 system connected to XI. When the R/3 system is down (e.g. for maintenance reasons) the RFC adapter (communication channel) has a red "error" status in Communication channel monitor (that could not connect to R/3), which is ok. However, when the R/3 system goes up, the RFC communication channel remains in the same error status, irrespective of the fact that the R/3 is now up. Morever, it needs some manual stop and start from CC monitor in order to be able to "see" that the R/3 is now up. This has an impact on our interfaces that it may be the case that sometimes the administrators, fail to notice this and the corresponding interfaces that make us of the RFC adapter, fail for no reason.

Is there a way to avoid this undesirable situation?

Best Regards

Hi Gkatzios,

we also facing same problem as your,,when the R3 system is down for some maintenance reason at the same time XI expects something from R3 ,in this situation RFC adapter is going to error state,when R3 is up RFC adapter works fine but CC still shows error status.but some times we have to stop and start CC manually.

everytime when we open the CC monitoring particular CC always in error state eventhough it is working fine..

If you find any solution for this please let me know.

Thanks for your time.

Hi,

This might be a cache issue.

Most of the times it turns green when u retry.

try to increase the reentry paramters...might not be much help but if the down time of receiver is 10 min..then you can set the reentry paramter to 20 min....rfc adapter will keep trying for that much time if connection still not available then it will throw error..

i dnt know how far it is good but just a thought
