Purpose
The rfcconnect command, along with the associated rfcuser and rfcpassword, is used to make remote calls between two SAP systems or between an SAP system and a non_SAP system, such as a GuiXT Server. In order to log on to the SAP system, the RFC needs a username and password. The password can be either encrypted or in plain text. Synactive recommends that you create a new RFC user in SAP, and give that user the appropriate rights.
The rfcconnect command specifies connection strings for one or more SAP application servers. This command is usually found in the guixt.sjs configuration file and is used to send a connection string specifying the SAP ERP system to which the RFC user will connect.
Syntax
rfcconnect="IFDATABASE=XXX,LANG=E,CLIENT=xxx,ASHOST=SAP_system,SYSNR=00,LCHECK=0,USE_SAP GUI=0,USER=rfc_user,PASSWD=rfc_password";
About RFC
-
Calling scripts from the SAP Web Repository (SAPWR)
Note: When you are connecting to a Web Repository, the RFC username, password and connection setting must be included in a single rfcconnect statement in the guixt.sjs file - it cannot be invoked from any other location. - Using call statements in scripts
- Using SAP Roles in scripts
- Reading data dictionary items
- Reading scripts from transaction variants
- Reading images from 'SAPDB...'
- Reading images from 'SAPIM...' (Business Document Server)
The table below contains the GuiXT actions that require RFC. In addition, the table contains the following information for each action:
- The client in which the logon occurs
- The name of the remote function called
- The SAP user rights required to perform the action
