Creating an RFC Destination for Direct ImportLocate this document in the navigation structure

Context

Use if you are using separate servers for the SAP NetWeaver ABAP system and the SAP Content Server, to be able to successfully import the I files, you need to create an RFC destination that must be specified when executing the report RSIRTRIM.

Caution

If the SAP Content Server is on the same server as the SAP NetWeaver ABAP system, you do not need to create a special RFC destination template (SAPKPROTP_GW) for imports to the SAP Content Server. The automatically-created RFC destination SAPKPROTP points to the application server and can therefore be used.

Procedure

  1. Start transaction SM59 and choose Create.
  2. In the RFC Destination field, enter SAPKPROTP_GW.
  3. Choose the connection type T.
  4. In the Description field, enter a short description of the destination (for example, template for direct transports to the SAP Content Server).
  5. Choose Save.

    In the subsequent dialog box, make the settings for the RFC destination SAPKPROTP_GW.

  6. Choose the Technical Settings tab page.
  7. In the Activation Type frame, choose the Start on Explicit Host option.
  8. In the Program field, enter sapkprotp.
  9. In the Save as field, choose the required option ( host name or IP address).
  10. Depending on the option chosen, enter the host name (with domain name if required) or the IP address of the server on which the SAP Content Server is installed, in the Target Host field.
  11. Choose Save.
