Calling RFC from UDF

[Former Member]

Hi,

I need to call an RFC from an User Defined Function and would just like to know whether there are a better\easier way to perform this function as part of the latest releases of XI\PI. I found the document called: "Mapping lookups – RFC API" which is very useful, but it was released on 16 Aug 2005 and if there are newer better ways to perform this function I would like to know.

Thanks

Rudi

Hi Rudi,

What is ur requirement. Do u want to get RFC response from the R3 system and send that response to a file.

If this is ur requirement then u can do it with BPM and without BPM.

Refer the below weblog:

With BPM

Without BPM:

Thnx

Hi Guys, thanks for all your responses, I am on PI 7.0 SP12, so it looks like I will have to use the old way of doing an RFC Lookup. I will certainly see if we can upgrade to PI 7.1

For some reason I cannot see the radio buttons to award points, will do so as soon as it is working again.

Thanks again.

Hi,

To call the RFC in UDF is the only option now to do. In PI7.1 mapping itself they are providing the RFC and JDBC lookups.

hi rudi,

if you are using XI 3.0 and PI 7.0 you need to go RFC lookups,you need to get the channel dynamically and call the respective RFC.

in PI 7.1 we got a RFC lookup and jdbc LOOKUPS in graphical mapping directly.

our lives gonna be simple with PI 7.1.

Thanks & Regards,

Rama Krishna
