Purpose

Return Value

Description

The default implementation for this function returns a NULL string. The implementer of the derived class is responsible for providing a meaningful description of the particular function this derived class represents.

The server application object calls this function to fetch function descriptions on every function in its function list. This fetch happens automatically when the user requests System Information ® Function List while configuring RFC destinations under transaction SM59:

  1. Request transaction SM59.
  2. Select RFC Destinations ® TCP/IP from the configuration hierarchy.
  3. Select any configuration entry in the TCP/IP list.
  4. In the resulting screen, select the System Information ® Function List.

The program entered in the Explicit host field connects to the relevant host and fetches Function Library descriptions for all the remote functions in the function list.
