Make the following settings on the Special Options tab page:
Connection Types: ABAP, R/2, Internal, Logical, CMC, TCP/IP, ABAP Driver (3, 2, I, L, M, T, X)
Slow RFC connection
If you set this flag, the table data transmitted using the WAN connection is compressed. If this flag is not set, the table data is compressed if the table size of 8 KB is exceeded.
Set RFC trace
To log the RFC communication and save it in a file, select the RFC Trace option. You can then display the file, both in the calling and receiving system, using report RSRFCTRC.
Trace export methods
When you send RFC calls, you can use the trace export methods to decide, on the sender side, whether to forward the trace level to the target system. This allows you to prevent the file system for the target application server from overflowing.
Keep-alive timeout
You can specify a keep-alive timeout as follows:
Use the default gateway value
Deactivate the keep-alive setting
Define an individual timeout for each RFC connection.
The default gateway value is defined by the profile parameter gw/keepalive (transaction RZ11).
Communications Protocol Selection (Type 3 only)
The following settings are available to you when selecting the RFC communication protocol:
basXML
If you select option basXML, basXML (Binary ABAP Serialization XML) is supported by the destination if the corresponding prerequisites are given (function module, client and server are basXML-capable).
Note
If you choose this option, the destination supports the transfer of RFC-Varianten sRFC, aRFC, and bqRFC, but not tRFC/qRFC.
Classic with tRFC
Use the classic RFC protocol with tRFC/qRFC.
Note
If you choose this option, the destination supports the transfer of RFC Variants sRFC, aRFC, and tRFC/qRFC, but not bgRFC.
Classic with bgRFC
Use the classic RFC protocol with bqRFC.
Note
If you choose this option, the destination supports the transfer of RFC-Varianten sRFC, aRFC, and bqRFC, but not tRFC/qRFC.
Connection types HTTP/External and HTTP/ABAP (G, H)
Timeout
When sending an HTTP request, you can use this parameter to specify the maximum response time for the connection.
HTTP Setting
You can use the HTTP version to specify the protocol version of the HTTP request (HTTP 1.0 or 1.1).
Compression
You can use this option to activate gzip compression for the request body. This can only be activated in HTTP Version 1.1.
Compressed Response
In the standard setting, the ABAP Application Server sends the Accept Encoding field as a header field with the value gzip, provided that the application server can handle this type of compression. This may result in the partner returning its data in compressed form too. If you want to prevent a compressed response being sent, choose the option No.
HTTP Cookie
You can use this option to control the way received cookies are handled.
Note
Cookies are handled in a calling program by event IF_HTTP_CLIENT~EVENTKIND_HANDLE_COOKIE.
