Background RFC (bgRFC)

Use

Alongside the classic queued Remote Function Call (qRFC), SAP NetWeaver also offers the background RFC (bgRFC) for improved performance when transferring data. You can also use this RFC for transferring data via Core Interface (CIF).

For more information about the bgRFC, see the documentation for SAP NetWeaver under Start of the navigation path Components of SAP Communication Technology Next navigation step Classical SAP Technologies (ABAP) RFC Queued Remote Function Call (qRFC) bgRFC (Background RFC). End of the navigation path

Depending on the transfer direction for which you want to improve performance, you can use the bgRFC for the transfer from the ERP system to the SCM system and for the transfer from the SCM system to the ERP system. You can also use it for both transfer directions at the same time.

Prerequisites

You have performed the basic settings for setting up the system landscape in Customizing for the relevant system.

Activities

To be able to use the bgRFC, you must activate it for the required transfer direction. By default, CIF uses the classic qRFC.
