I want to call the FM BBP_LA_GET_FULLNAME_BY_USERID which is present in SRM to R/3 using RFC…this FM is used to get user name for a given user id …

How can I write code in R/3 to call this FM…

You call RFC enabled FM in the same way as a normal FM.

CALL FUNCTION 'BBP_LA_GET_FULLNAME_BY_USERID '

DESTINATION 'SRM'

......

SRM - Should be a RFC destination created in SM59 transaction of the R/3 system.

Create a RFC conenction in SM59

call the same way as you call normal FM.

Ensure the in the FM attributes the processing type is "remote enabled module"

Plz reward if useful.

Hello Vj

Why don't you use the standard BAPI for accessing user data which is BAPI_USER_GET_DETAIL?

What is the advantage of using this BAPI instead of the SRM specific function module? You will find the standard BAPI on any type of SAP system (R/3, BW, SRM, CRM,...). So you basically make your coding independent of the SAP system type on which it is running or the type of the remote system you are accessing.

Hello,

Refer this...

You can use the CALL FUNCTION statement to call remote functions, just as you would call local function modules. However, you must include an additional DESTINATION clause to define where the function should run:

CALL FUNCTION Remotefunction

DESTINATION Dest

EXPORTING

F1 = a1

F2 = a2

IMPORTING

F3 = a3

CHANGING

F4 = a4

TABLES

t1 = ITAB

EXCEPTIONS

…

You can define logical destinations in table RFCDES using transaction SM59, or using the following menu path: Tools >Administration > Administration > Network > RFC Destinations.

For more details, refer http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/22/042551488911d189490000e829fbbd/frameset.htm

Goto SM59

Click on the create ICON, give a desc to the RFC Connection (say RFC_CONN), specify the connection type as 3.

Select the Technical Settings

Specify the Target host (Application/Message Server Name) and the system number of the remote system in which the function module exits.

Select the tab logon/security.

In the Logon Area : specify the client, user and password of the remote system in which the function module exits.

Save, Test Connection and Click on Remote logon, chk if u cud remotely logon to that system. It means that the connection is succesful.

Now you can use the RFC Connection 'RFC_CONN' in the desctination.
