hi,

Remote Function Call:

RFC is an SAP interface protocol. Based on CPI-C, it considerably simplifies the programming of communication processes between systems.

RFCs enable you to call and execute predefined functions in a remote system - or even in the same system.

RFCs manage the communication process, parameter transfer and error handling.

Have a look at this link.

RFC stands for Remote Function Call. It is a process where a function module on a system is called from a different system. This is accomplished by specifying an addition DESTINATION <dest> along with the function call.

Hi ,

RFC stands for remort function call , it basically means to execute a function at some other system , by calling it form here.

e.g. we have two systems A and B , we have a program in A which wants data from B to continue processing , so what we do is write an RFC enabled FM in B which retreives all the required data and then call this FM from A.

Once the FM is executed the data from system B is available at system A for processing.

Hi Balu,

Remote Function Call (RFC) is the standard SAP interface for communication between SAP systems.

A remote function call (RFC) is the call of a function module that runs in a different system to the calling program. Although it is also possible to call a function module in the same system as an RFC, normally RFCs are used when the caller and the called function module run in the same system.

--> Each ABAP program can call a remote function module using the command CALL FUNCTION...DESTINATION.

The parameter DESTINATION informs the SAP system that the called function module runs in a different system to the calling system. RFC communication with the remote system takes place as a part of the CALL FUNCTION command.

--> RFC function modules in an SAP system must be proper function modules and must be registered in the SAP system as remote.
