Process

The process of receiving an RFC request from an SAP backend system and processing that request looks as follows:

  • Provide the necessary gateway connection parameters and obtain an RfcServer object corresponding to the backend from which you want to receive calls.

  • Implement the business logic for the function module(s) you intend to process and register these implementations as C# delegates of type FunctionHandler with the RfcServer object.

  • Either create an RfcCustomRepository containing the metadata for the function modules you want to process, or configure an RfcDestination, whose repository you can use. Register this repository with the RfcServer.

  • Optionally implement an IServerSecurityHandler and register it with the RfcServer, if you want to protect your function implementations from unauthorized access by any SAP system user.

  • Optionally implement an ISessionProvider and register it with the RfcSessionManager as described in section 2.2, if you want to process stateful RFC calls.

  • Optionally implement an ITransactionIDHandler and register it with the RfcServer, if you want to process tRFC/qRFC calls.

  • Optionally implement an IUnitIDHandler and register it with the RfcServer, if you want to process bgRFC calls.

  • Optionally register event handlers for server state changes or server errors, if you are interested in these events for monitoring or tracing reasons.

  • Finally start the RfcServer. The required APIs for these steps will be described in detail in this section.
