Creating an RFC Destination for the SLD ABAP
API on the J2EE Side
Use
If you want to configure an ABAP application to access data in the SLD using the SLD ABAP API, you have to create an RFC destination on the J2EE Engine that hosts the SLD. If the ABAP system is an add-in installation to a J2EE system, you can configure the RFC destination on the J2EE Engine, but we do not recommend it.
Procedure
in ...
1. In the Visual Administrator, choose Cluster ® Server ® Services ® JCo RFC Provider ® Runtime ® Bundles.
2. Enter the RFC destination parameters in the following fields:
Field |
Description |
Program ID |
We recommend that you use the following pattern: SLDAPI_<SID>, where SID is the system identifier of the J2EE Engine. |
Gateway host Gateway service |
If your J2EE Engine is an add-on installation to an ABAP system, use the gateway of the ABAP system. You can look up the gateway parameters of an ABAP system using transaction SMGW.
If your J2EE Engine is a standalone installation, we recommend that you install a gateway on the same host. If you cannot install a gateway on the same host, you can use the gateway of the calling ABAP system (the one that you are connecting to the SLD). |
Number of processes(1..20) |
Enter 3. |
3. Enter the repository parameters in the following fields:
Field |
Description |
Application server host System number |
Enter the connection data for the ABAP system. |
Client Language User Password |
Enter the logon data for the ABAP system. You must specify an existing user with appropriate authorizations for RFC.
If your J2EE Engine is an add-on installation to an ABAP system, use the logon data for this system. If your J2EE Engine is a standalone installation, use the logon data for the calling ABAP system. |
4. If the calling ABAP system is a Unicode system, select the Unicode indicator.
If you want to connect several ABAP systems, of which some are Unicode and others are non-Unicode, you have to create two separate destinations that correspond to the two system types; for a Unicode system, select the Unicode indicator, and for a non-Unicode system, deselect the Unicode indicator.
5. Create the RFC destination by choosing Set.
