Hi Suman,

Service user is nothing but a machine user meant for different components which interact with each other in the background for a particular task. e.g. XIAPPLUSER, XIISUSER

Dialog user which humans use to interact with an application.

Thanks,

service users are used for internal communication between XI components, which is usually triggered by interaction of dialog users.

Dialog users represent human users (as opposed to service users), who log on through the various UIs of the Integration Builder, System Landscape Directory, and Runtime Workbench.

Dialog users are generally maintained in the ABAP part of the SAP Web AS. The roles for the different dialog users displayed in the following table are predefined and

shipped.

we should use a service user for the following reasons.

1: Service users do not expire

2: Service users do not have gui logon

3) In RFC conn, use service user and not dialog user.....

dialog user cant access background services of connecting to some other systems because dialog users are limited to screens..

so in making RFC conn, dialog users are not used.

In my Idoc--File scenario, we created RFC destination in R/3 to Xi & Xi to R/3 using my Developer User name only.

Will there be any problem in Future???

If Yes, What kind of problems may come??

Hi,

like mentioned by Gabriel if your user expire or your pwd is getting changed the RFC connection will not work anymore.

You could use an existing one.

>Or else Do i need to create any separate Service user for this purpose??

This is also possible.

Hi,

if you already have a service user you should use it.

If you have more than one service users just take one of them.

If you have no service user then create one.

Hi,

as I know there is no such user like a default user in every system with a special name.

You have to look for existing service users and take one if you find one or otherwise create one.
