This chapter describes how to establish an RFC connection between 2 systems.
As a rule, these settings are made by SAP-BASIS.
In this example, the sending system is ECE client 001, ECE(001) for short. The corresponding RFC connection is called ECECLNT001 according to the naming convention. This system is the source system.
The receiving system is the ECP client 001, in short ECP(001). According to the naming convention, the corresponding RFC connection is called ECPCLNT001. This system is the target system.
Settings in the sending system
Maintain RFC Connections (SM59)
An RFC connection must be set up from the sending to the receiving system. So according to the naming convention, an ABAP RFC connection is needed in the SM59 with the name ECPCLNT001.
Creating a port (WE21)
A tRFC (transactional RFC) port is required so that this connection can also be used. This can be created in the WE21.
The name of the port must correspond to the name of the RFC connection.
Logical system (OMTX)
In the sending system, the target system must be announced. In this, the logical system ECPCLNT001 must be entered. It looks like this:
Partner profiles
It is possible to enter a partner profile for the target system in the source system in the partner type LS. It looks as follows:
Settings in the receiving system
Logical system (OMTX)
In the receiving system, the source system must be made known. In this, the logical system ECECLNT001 must be entered. It looks like this:
Partner profiles
Now it is possible to enter a partner profile for the source system in the target system in the partner type LS. It looks like this:
