RFC Connection Problem

Former Member — Fri, 24 Feb 2006 19:19:30 GMT

I'm using 4.7 unicode system and accessing data through the portal. My problem is when I try to display a PO in the portal so that I can go a goods receipt, I'm getting this error "The function module "BAPI_MATERIAL_EXISTENCECHECK" not released for 'remote' calls., error key: RFC_ERROR_SYSTEM_FAILURE". If I check the attributes of this bapi, the processing type is remote-enabled module and start immediately for updates.

This is what's shown in ST22

untime Errors CALL_FUNCTION_NOT_REMOTE

Occurred on 02/24/2006 at 11:32:21

The function module "BAPI_MATERIAL_EXISTENCECHECK" not released for 'remote'

What happened?

The function module "BAPI_MATERIAL_EXISTENCECHECK" was called via RFC, but the 'Remote Function Call supported' flag is not set.

Error in ABAP application program.

The current ABAP program "SAPLBUS1001 " had to be terminated because one of the statements could not be executed.

This is probably due to an error in the ABAP program.

Error analysis

The function module "BAPI_MATERIAL_EXISTENCECHECK" was called via RFC, but has not been released for 'remote' calls.

With the following call types, a 'remote' calls must be supported:

a) CALL FUNCTION 'BAPI_MATERIAL_EXISTENCECHECK' DESTINATION ...

b) CALL FUNCTION 'BAPI_MATERIAL_EXISTENCECHECK' IN BACKGROUND TASK ...

c) CALL FUNCTION 'BAPI_MATERIAL_EXISTENCECHECK' STARTING NEW TASK ...

How to correct the error

If the function module is one of your own, go into the

Function Library and release the module "BAPI_MATERIAL_EXISTENCECHECK" for RFC calls

by setting the 'Remote Function Call supported' flag so

that it can be called externally.

This BAPI is remote enabled in 46c. Is it in 4.7?

Go to SE37, enter the name of the BAPI, click display, click attributes tab. Is it flagged for "Remote Enabled"?

It definitly should be since it is a BAPI.

Hello:

Please enable your function as candidate for Remote call. Go to Abap workbench and search for your BAPI. Then in Attributes check:

PROCESSING TYPE -> REMOTE ENABLED MODULE

Re-activate the function afterwards

Hope it helps

That's the first thing I did - I checked the attributes and yes, it is remote-enabled. That's why I'm really at a loss right now.

Hi ,

Run the transaction BAPI, now click on the tab Alphabetical , now go to Material in the list left side, open it , now you can see

Existence Check, click on it.

now right side you can see some info about it like below..

Hi Vijay,

I did as you instructed and yes it is released.

Release Status = released

Re: RFC Connection Problem

RichHeilman — Fri, 24 Feb 2006 19:49:28 GMT

Can we please see how you are calling it? Are you using a valid RFC destination?

Hi,

show the line# where you got the dump..

can you show the lines of code..

The current ABAP program "SAPLBUS1001 " had to be terminated because one of the statements could not be executed.

I checked how it's being called and everything looks correct.

Here's the source code where the dump occured.

Information on where terminated

The termination occurred in the ABAP program "SAPLBUS1001 " in

"BAPI_MATERIAL_GET_DETAIL".

The main program was "SAPMSSY1 ".

The termination occurred in line 68 of the source code of the (Include) program "SAPMSSY1 "

of the source code of program "SAPMSSY1 " (when calling the editor 680).

Hi,

i feel you gave wrong rfc destination, that may be the reason for dump.

Re: RFC Connection Problem

What's the value of TYPE? Is it a valid RFC destination?

Rob

Re: RFC Connection Problem

RichHeilman — Fri, 24 Feb 2006 20:21:58 GMT

Please check that the RFC destination is valid in SM59, also you may want to do a connection test.

My Java guy and I checked how this BAPI is being called and everything looks fine. From all the BAPIs (notifications, orders, etc) we used in the portal, this is the only problem that we've encountered.

Re: RFC Connection Problem

Former Member — Fri, 24 Feb 2006 20:46:16 GMT

I would like to show you the code on how the BAPI is being called, unfortunately, it's not my code to give. I don't know how it's being called in the Java side but I also had another ABAP person look at it who, by the way, is knowledgeable in Java, and she said that everything is correct.

Re: RFC Connection Problem

RichHeilman — Fri, 24 Feb 2006 20:53:32 GMT

I believe you if you say that the call is good. Have you check the RFC destination? Do a connection test in SM59. What is being used to call this from java, jCo? JCA? Webdynpro model(Adaptive RFC)?
