Create RFC Destination

This step is a cross-client activity that can be performed in any active client within the system where SAP Profitability and Performance Management is installed. In SAP Profitability and Performance Management there are certain namespaces that must be set to modifiable. To do this, follow the procedure below.

Use transaction SM59 to create an RFC destination “<System_ID>CLNT<Client>” (for example, PER CLNT100, where PER is the system ID and 100 is the client on which you want to configure SAP Profitability and Performance Management functions). The user specified in this RFC destination should be assigned to the modeling user role since the system uses this user to trigger the transport after import generation in SAP Profitability and Performance Management. All authorizations as specified in the SAP Profitability and Performance Management delivered modeling role /NXI/P1_MODELING_USER_ALL should be assigned to the RFC connection user.

You need to do this for every client in the system that uses SAP Profitability and Performance Management.

If the RFC destination has already been created, execute the following steps to check whether the RFC connection user has the correct authorization:

1. Call transaction SM59.

2. Under ABAP Connections, choose the RFC destination <SYSID>CLNT<SYSCLIENT> (for example, PERCLNT100).

3. Go to the Logon & Security tab and check for the user assigned.

4. Call transaction SU01 and enter the RFC connection user.

5. On the Roles tab, check that /NXI/P1_MODELING_USER_ALL is assigned.

To test that the connection is working, execute the following steps:

1. Call transaction SM59.

2. Under ABAP Connections, choose the RFC destination <SYSID>CLNT<SYSCLIENT> (for example, PERCLNT100).

3. Go to Utilities  Test  Connection Test.

4. Go to Utilities  Test  Authorization Test.
