SAP-RFC Connector

It facilitates communication with SAP systems, enabling the execution of function calls within the SAP environment.

Service Description

There is a single component options for configuring a connector to communicate with SAP RFC:

  • SAP RFC Receiver Connector

SAP RFC, known by the abbreviation "SAP Remote Function Call", is a communication protocol used to remotely call functions within the SAP system. SAP system is an enterprise resource planning (ERP) software that performs many different functions and covers a wide range of business processes. SAP RFC enables functions in SAP systems to be called by external systems or applications and thus enables integration between different systems. RFCs can be used to import or send data to an SAP system from external systems. For example, scenarios such as an external web application receiving customer information from an SAP system or an e-commerce application sending order information to an SAP system may use this protocol. SAP RFC Connector is a tool used to integrate SAP systems in MIP. It enables connection to a remote SAP system and makes SAP-provided functions (RFC functions) accessible.

Beginning

Follow these steps before starting the integration:

  • To use RFC, you must have appropriate authorizations in the SAP system. In most cases, appropriate user roles and authorizations are required to use RFC.
  • Using RFC requires correct connection settings between the SAP system and the external application or system. This includes correctly configuring connection parameters and specifying communication protocols.
  • Create the connection for RFC in the RFC Destinations tab on the Operations page.
