Debugging RFC

I just rolled out a new app and can't get he RFC call to work. The trace file shows:

---> RFC MESSAGE/ERROR : 104

RFC_ERROR_SYSTEM_FAILURE
CPIC-CALL: 'ThSAPCMRCV' : cmRc=20 thRc=456

Timeout during connection setup (check that partner exists)

So I did a bit of messing around in SM59. The ONLY thing I would change in SM59 was

the program being called. I changed the called program than ran connection test. All these Unix programs are owned by the same user and have the same rights.

/usr/sap/DEV/SYS/exe/run/tp -> worked OK

/usr/sap/DEV/SYS/exe/run/tf80server.csh -> timed out

copied 'tp' to 'tf80server.csh'

/usr/sap/DEV/SYS/exe/run/tf80server.csh -> worked OK

/usr/sap/DEV/SYS/exe/run/sapftp -> worked OK

copied 'sapftp' to 'tf80server.csh'

/usr/sap/DEV/SYS/exe/run/tf80server.csh -> worked OK

copied orignal tf80server.csh back

/usr/sap/DEV/SYS/exe/run/tf80server.csh -> timed out

The timeout doesn't seem to be consistant what whatever program I put in. I even created a short shell script (called vince.sh) that only had:

echo "hi"

exit 0

/usr/sap/DEV/SYS/exe/run/vince.sh -> timed out

BUT copied 'tp' to 'vince.sh'

/usr/sap/DEV/SYS/exe/run/vince.sh -> worked OK.

So I don't think it is a TaxFactory issue but an internal SAP/RFC

issue. I am unsure how to debug further.

Suggestions?

Thanks!

Though I would still like to know how to further debug RFC turns out it is a BSI issue. The tf80server executable turned out to be the point of failure.
