The communication table contains all the RFC connections to the server on which the cursor is positioned (see SAP Gateway).
Both connections where the local dispatcher is the client and connections where the local dispatcher is the server are displayed (the connections that were made externally to the server).
The communication table helps you keep track of the RFC connections when monitoring the system or analyzing problems.
The example below displays the structure of the table.

The entries in the table have the following meaning:
Field |
Meaning |
|
---|---|---|
Destination |
Communication party If the computer where you are currently logged on is the server of an RFC connection (see Type column), the destination column will be empty. If the local host is the RFC client, the remote destination - the server for this connection - is displayed in this field. You can display and maintain RFC destinations using transaction SM59 or by clicking the destination server. More information: RFC Programming in ABAP |
|
Conv.Id |
Conversation ID: Unique connection ID |
|
User |
User |
|
Terminal ID / Session |
The terminal ID is the number of the terminal in the list of all the clients logged on to the dispatcher. The session number is the current external session. This information is used to determine RFC dependencies in the analysis of RFC connections. The combination TID/session defines the context belonging to a conversation ID either as a client or as a server. The TID/session is used to determine which RFCs are still coming from this context (client). The TID/mode information on the server side is used to check whether this also appears again as a client, and hence is part of an RFC chain that is accessible iteratively. |
|
Type |
Client that requested a service and therefore the connection or server that fulfills the client’s request. |
|
ConnectionStatus |
Current connection status; the following entries are possible: |
|
INITIALIZED |
Connection is being made |
|
ALLOCATED |
Connection is made |
|
DEAL NOW |
Connection is being terminated |
|
DEALLOCATED |
Connection has been terminated |
|
CLEAR SNC |
When using SNC: Encrypted data is still being supplied before the connection can be terminated. |
|
Request |
Last call or request (at RFC level) |
|
Wp |
Last work process, used for processing |
|
Time |
Time of the last request that dealt with the connection |
