RFC Monitor
How to handle RFC errors
If errors occur during Remote Function Call, these are processed in individual error handling in the Standard R/3 System. For each incorrect RFC, the SAP R/3 System schedules a batch job which starts the RFC repeatedly until processing is successful. If the link to the destination system is interrupted, this can lead to a large number of batch jobs being created, thus placing a heavy load on the transmitting system that is processing the jobs.
When the system is in use, it is absolutely necessary that you use the collective error handling facility to improve system performance. When you use this method, RFC transmissions are not automatically repeated immediately. Instead, a periodically scheduled batch job collects the incorrect RFCs and transmits them again as a package. As a result, the number of batch jobs is kept to a low level. This feature is available for R/3 and TCP/IP links.
To carry out the error handling procedure:
You can also access the RFC monitor in other ways - e.g. from the main menu, choose Tools ® Administration ® Monitor ® Transactional RFC.
Schedule a periodic batch job for error handling.
Before you go live, practice the error handling procedure for Remote Function Call errors.
