Procedure documentationCreating an RFC Destination for Direct Import Locate this document in the navigation structure

 

Use if you are using separate servers for the SAP NW ABAP system and the SAP Content Server, to be able to successfully import the I files, you need to create an RFC destination that must be specified when executing the report RSIRTRIM.

Caution Caution

If the SAP Content Server is on the same server as the SAP NW ABAP system, you do not need to create a special RFC destination template (SAPKPROTP_GW) for imports to the SAP Content Server. The automatically-created RFC destination SAPKPROTP points to the application server and can therefore be used.

End of the caution.
