Wait time for RFC response

Former Member — Mon, 25 Feb 2008 19:56:59 GMT

Hi experts,

I am calling an RFC in a remote SAP R/3 system from another SAP system (say CRM).

Is there a timeout parameter value that can be set to a time limit that a calling system can wait for a response from the RFC call? In other words, how can I set up a time parameter in the ABAP program to wait for the RFC and if can not get a response; continue with a set of code.

Any suggestion greatly appreciated <REMOVED BY MODERATOR>

Try

GET RUN TIME FIELD <runtime>.

statement in your ABAP code.

Just to calrify my question;

An RFC is being called in R/3.

The calling system is say CRM.

The question is:

1) If the RFC called system (R/3) is down, what would be the expected response from the called system (R/3) to the requesting system (CRM)? i.e what happens when the called system is down/connection breaks down?

When calling the RFC in R/3, I noticed that the call hangs up and the hour glass shows and waits for the RFC reponse for a long time. How can this be prevented? That is, the RFC call should timeout after a certain time if you don't get a response from the called system. How and where this timeout can be set in the ABAP.

Thanks

Hi,

Have you checked RFC destination settings in transaction SM59?

Best regards,
