Creating an RFC Destination for the SLD ABAP API on the Java Side

Context

If you want to configure an ABAP application to access data in the SLD using the SLD ABAP API, you have to create a Jco RFC destination on the AS Java system that hosts the SLD.

Procedure

In your web browser, enter the URL of SAP NetWeaver Administrator using the following pattern:

http://<host>:<port>/nwa
Choose Configuration Management Infrastructure Jco RFC Provider
Choose Create .

Enter the connection and transport parameters as required.

Note

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

Server Count (1..20)

Enter 3 .

Choose Next .

Enter logon data to the ABAP repository. You can either use an existing RFC destination from Start of the navigation path SAP NetWeaver Administrator Next navigation step Configuration Management Security Destinations End of the navigation path or you specify the ABAP repository explicitly. The destination should point preferably to an AS ABAP close to SLD. If SLD is running on an AS Java standalone installation, the calling AS ABAP can be used instead. We recommend to create and use an RFC destination instead of explicitly specifying the connect parameters here. In both cases, the following parameters are required

Field	Description
Application Server Host System Number Client Language User Password	Enter the logon data for the AS ABAP system. You must specify an existing user with appropriate authorizations for RFC. Note If you are running a system with both usage types AS ABAP and AS Java, use the logon data for this system. If your AS Java is a standalone installation, use the logon data for the calling ABAP system.

Field

Description

Application

Server Host

System Number

Client

User

Password

Enter the logon data for the AS ABAP system. You must specify an existing user with appropriate authorizations for RFC.

Choose Next .
Leave the default values in the next steps.
Create the Jco RFC destination by choosing Finish .

Results

The Jco RFC destination creates a number of "Server Count" RFC server threads on your AS Java. These RFC servers register at the RFC Gateway specified. You may configure multiple ABAP systems to connect to these RFC servers. In this case, the Server Count should be increased when TIME_OUT exceptions are observed.
