.Net Connector Windows Service

[Former Member]

Hi,

I've deployed a .Net application as a windows service. This application is called from SAP through RFC. I've created a RFC destination for this purpose through SM59 transaction and set the activation type as 'Registered Server Program' and specified a Program ID. What I would like to know is how the RFC is recognizing the service even though I've not specified system name in the RFC destination?

Any help is highly appreciated.

Hi Reiner,

Thanks for the input. But my concern is that it picks up the service from any system over a LAN. is it not a security lapse?

Don't ask me about details of security in the implementation of the RFC protocoll. But I would assume that RFCLIB only acceps request from gateways where it registered before.

The Windows Service would start BEFORE the ABAP client is trying to call it. In the moment of start, your Windows Service would register itself on the SAP gateway(s), so that the ABAP client finds it.
