Registering the RFC Server module with the SAP Gateway

During initialization, the RFC Server module registers with the SAP Gateway. It uses the value set for the RfcProgramId connector-specific configuration property. This value must match the value set in the SAP application. You must configure the SAP application so that the RFC Server module can create a handle to it.

To register the RFC Server module as an RFC destination:

  1. In the SAP application, go to transaction SM59.
  2. Expand the TCP/IP connections directory.
  3. Click Create (F8).
  4. In the RFC destination field, enter the name of the RFC destination system. It is recommended that you use RFCSERVER.
  5. Set the connection type to T (Start an external program via TCP/IP).
  6. Enter a description for the new RFC destination, and then click Save.
  7. Click the Registration button for the Activation Type.
  8. Set the Program ID. It is recommended that you use the same value as the RFC destination (RFCSERVER), and then click Enter.

Important:
Ensure that the connector-specific configuration property RfcProgramID is set to the same value as the Program ID value in the SAP application. If the values do not match, business object processing will fail.
