RFC Client Settings Tab

To configure RFC client settings, on the Plant Connectivity Management Console screen, select the RFC destination system and click RFC Client Settings.

For the information you need to enter for the connection settings, use the following table:

Field	Description
Type	Here you enter the Business Suite system with which you want to use PCo: SAP NW Specify SAP NW if you want to connect to any Business Suite system. SAP ODA Specify SAP ODA if you want to use the component SAP ODA in the ERP system and want to replace the ODA Connector with PCo. SAP EWM Specify SAP EWM if you want to connect to an EWM system.
System ID	ID that identifies the connected system Note You can find the system ID in SAP Logon. In SAP Logon, in the context menu for the system entry, choose Properties Connection tab and copy the value from the System ID field.
Client	Client of the Business Suite system to be connected.
Language	The language with which the user is to log on to the Business Suite system. This entry is only required if there is no default logon language stored in the Business Suite system. Enter the ISO code for the language to be used, for example, `EN` for English or `DE` for German.
SAP Router	The SAP Router makes it possible to connect through a firewall. Enter the SAP router parameters in the following format: /H/hostname//S/portnumber/H/. The entry here is optional.
Max. Number of Connections	In the Max. Number of Connections field, you can specify the maximum possible number of RFC connections that can be open simultaneously at any given time. If the maximum number of parallel RFC connections has been reached, every further client activity that makes an additional connection necessary triggers an RfcResourceException.

In the Load Balancing screen area, choose Yes to activate load balancing. With load balancing, you can have the SAP Message Server assign an application server. In this case, the application server is determined according to a load balancing procedure. The following fields are ready for input in this case:

Field	Description
Message Server	Name of the message server of the Business Suite system. (See also: Message Server.) Note You can find the name of the message server in SAP Logon, in the context menu of the system entry, under Properties Connection tab. You can copy the name from the Message Server field, for example, `q63main.xxx.yyy.zzz`.
Logon Group	Enter the logon group here. Note You can find the logon group in SAP Logon, in the context menu of the system entry, under Properties Connection tab. You can copy the name of the logon group from the Group/Server field, for example, `PUBLIC`.

Field

Description

Message Server

Name of the message server of the Business Suite system. (See also: Message Server.)

Logon Group

Enter the logon group here.

If you do not want to work with load balancing, choose No. The following fields are then ready for input:

Field	Description
Application Server	Enter the name of the server of the Business Suite system to which you want to connect, for example, the server on which the ERP system runs. Note You can find the server name in SAP Logon by calling the properties of the relevant system entry in the context menu and choosing the Connection tab. You can copy the server name from the Message Server field, for example, `q63main.xxx.yyy.zzz`.
System Number	Business Suite system ID used for direct connection. Note The system number corresponds to the instance number in SAP Logon. In SAP Logon, in the context menu for the system entry, choose Properties Connection tab and copy the value from the Instance Number field.

You can use the tracing settings to trace the RFC communication with this agent instance in a file. The tracing file is stored in the current working directory of the PCo agent instance.

Field	Description
Enabled	If you select this checkbox, the Trace function is enabled.
Level	States the trace level of the .Net Connector (NCo). The trace level is the degree of detail in which steps performed during message processing are traced by the system. The following settings are possible: Level 1 With this setting, only the Remote Function Calls are traced. Level 2 With this setting, the calls from public API Methods are also traced. Level 3 With this setting, the calls from internal API Methods are traced in addition to the calls mentioned above. Level 4 With this setting, the HEX Dumps are traced for the RFC log in addition to all calls previously mentioned.
