RFC setup when SAP is the server?

Former Member

Hi all,

I'm quite new to SAP and ABAP and was asked to implement a file export from a SAP System to a Windows server using the RFC functionality.

The export should be triggered by the external system so SAP would act in this case as RFC server.

My question is now: Should in this case anything been setup in transaction SM59? Do I need to create a RFC-connection of type 'T'?

I already read a lot of stuff and several books but couldn't get an answer to this....

The RFC client should only call a function module in SAP which will copy the file using OPEN DATASET and logical paths. It will not call any other function on the RFC client.

Hope someone can help me.

Thank you in advance!

Kind regards

Susan

No need to configure anything in SM59. Just connect to the SAP system (from the external system, the client) and call the function module.
