Defining an RFC Destination

Context

In the ERP or SAP S/4HANA system, you need to use transaction SM59 to define the RFC destination for a PCo agent instance. The communication between a Business Suite system and PCo is established using Remote Function Calls (RFC modules).

You need to create exactly one RFC destination for each PCo agent instance.

Procedure

  1. Make the following general settings in transaction SM59:

    • RFC Destination: This can be defined freely

    • Connection Type: T (TCP/IP connection)

  2. Make the following entries on the Technical Settings tab:

    • Select Registered Server Program.

    • Program ID: Here you enter the value that you specified in the Program ID field in the PCo agent instance on the Query Ports tab.

    • Gateway Host: Here you enter the value that you specified in the SAP Gateway Host field in the PCo agent instance on the Query Ports tab.

    • Gateway Service: Here you adopt the value that you specified on the Query Ports tab.

    • You can use the Test Connection pushbutton to check the connection to PCo.

  3. On the Logon & Security tab, you can enter the following if you want to implement the Secure Network Communication (SNC) component:

    • Select the Active radio button in the Security Options screen area.

    • Choose the SNC pushbutton. The Change SNC Extension View: Details dialog box appears.

    • In the QoP (Quality of Protection) field, enter the value that you set in PCo in this field on the Query Ports tab.

    • In the Partner field, enter the SNC name of the user, for example, p:CN=D0XXXXX, O=SAP-AG, C=DE. This name is in User Maintenance (transaction SU01) on the SNC tab.

      You also need to enter this name in the PCo Console on the Query Ports tab in the User SNC Name field.

    • For more information about SNC settings, see SNC Settings.

Results

You can now create the following data in the PCo Management Console:

  • You create a source system.

  • You create an RFC destination system of the type SAP ODA. See also: RFC Destination System

  • You create the agent instance and enter the RFC connection data on the Servers tab. See also: Servers Tab
