Setting up Registration on the SAP Gateway

Use

You are making the settings for using Method B that registers the RFC connection on the SAP gateway.

Prerequisites

The following information is required for method B:

Information	Description
ProgramID	ID where the RFC server can be identified. Select and ID for each RFC server (such as converter.All2txt.1)

Procedure

Replace the text between < and > with the values used in your enterprise.

<GATEWAY_HOST> Replace using the name of the computer where your SAP gateway is running.

Edit <RFC_SERVER>.

When using the example programs (RunConvUtil.bat or RunConvUtil) you must include the following information in the file:

set ProgramID=<ProgramID>

set GATEWAY_HOST=<GATEWAY_HOST>

set GATEWAY_SERVICE=<GATEWAY_SERVICE>

(RunConvUtil.bat) or

ProgramID=<ProgramID>

GATEWAY_HOST=<GATEWAY_HOST>

GATEWAY_SERVICE=<GATEWAY_SERVICE>

(RunConvUtil)

Otherwise the RFC server must be called with the following parameters:
-a <ProgramID> -g <GATEWAY_HOST> -x <GATEWAY_SERVICE>

Start <RFC_SERVER>.

Verify the messages on the screen (RunConvUtil.bat) and in the output files (RunConvUtil).

After 30 seconds or more it is unlikely that an error occurs.

Otherwise verify whether <GATEWAY_HOST> and <GATEWAY_SERVICE> are set correctly and whether the gateway server is operational.

Start the transaction SM59 (Display and maintenance of RFC destinations) on your SAP System

Select Create and enter any name in the RFC destination field, for example CONVERTER_ALL2TXT.

Enter T as the Connection type value.

Enter a description and confirm your entries.

Select Registration as the Activation type.

Enter <ProgramID> as the value for Program-ID.

Select the entry Gateway options in the Destination menu.

Enter <GATEWAY_HOST> as Gateway host and as <GATEWAY_SERVICE> Gateway service. Confirm the entry and save the document.

Select Test connection.

Everything is fine when you see the connection data with the transfer times.

A red colored error message indicates and error.

Verify whether <RFC_SERVER> is still running and if the data <ProgramID>, <GATEWAY_HOST> and <GATEWAY_SERVICE> are the same as the data you entered in the <RFC_SERVER>.

Conversion can only be executed when the connection test is successful.
