RFC Vs Class Interface

Former Member — Sun, 08 Jul 2007 02:51:17 GMT

Hi,

I have created a Class using SE80 using Class/Interface option. Can anybody please explain me what will be difference between

RFC and Class Interface. Whether Class Interface can be used as same RFC?

If yes how class can be accessed from other legacy systems?

I am very new to ABAP

Thanks

SAR

Hi SAR,

Welcome to SDN :).

RFC is just a another FM which can be connected from Remote system. So the class and RFC are not the same thing.

Hi SAR,

I don't think it can be accessed via Legacy system.

If you want to connect through the Legacy system then you can create RFC or use BAPI.

Hi Atish,

Thankyou for your replies.

If these class cannot be accessed. then how these SAP standard global classes can be accessed.

Whether we need to right a wrapper RFC for all these? I heard BAPI's also global classes that have BOR entries.How these BAPI are accessing from legacy?

Thanks

SAR.

Hi SAR,

With every BAPI there is associated class.so when you access BAPI from outside it ultimatily refers to your class methods and attributes.
