Programming Example of Working With Local sideinfo File

            

            RFC_OPTIONS     rfc_opt;        /*      Parameter for RFC connection    */
            RfcEnvironment(...);    /*      Install error handling function */
            rfc_opt.mode    = RFC_MODE_CPIC;        */      RFC to SAP R/2  */
            

            rfc_opt.destination     = "K50";        /*      Entry with this destination     */
                            /*      must be in local sideinfo       */
                            /*      file and for Gateway        */
            rfc_opt.connopt = NULL  /*      Connect parameters in   */
                            /*      sideinfo file   */
            rfc_opt.client  = "000" /*      Client in SAP R/2       */
            rfc_opt.user    = "RFCTEST"     /*      CPIC user       */
            rfc_opt.password        = "SECRET"      /*      Password        */
            rfc_opt.language        = "E"   /*      Logon language  */
            rfc_opt.trace   = 0     /*      No RFC trace    */
            rfc_handle = RfcOpen(); /*      Open RFC connection     */
            ...
            

            

         

Local sideinfo file

The local sideinfo file must either be in the same directory as the RFC client program or be defined with its full path and file name using the environment variable SIDE_INFO.

Windows: set SIDE_INFO=d:\rfctest\sideinfo

The entry for the above test can be defined as follows:

DEST=K50

GWHOST=is0001

GWSERV=sapgw00

PROTOCOL=C

sideinfo file for the Gateway running on IBM-AIX machines

DEST=K50_1

LU=K50T1

TP=X1SA

DEST=K50_2

LU=K50T2

TP=X1SA

DEST=K50_3

LU=K50T3

TP=X1SA

The extension _n(n=1,2,,...) makes it possible for the Gateway to establish a LU6.2 connection to the R/2 System via different SNA connections.

sideinfo file for the Gateway running on HP-UX machines

DEST=K50

LU=K50T

TP=X1SA

LOCAL_LU=LU0001

MODE_NAME=LU62SAP1

• Specifications about LOCAL_LU are not required if at least one local LU is defined in the LU pool in the SNA-configuration on HP-UX.

• The LU6.2-mode 'LU62SAP1' defined as MODE_NAME above must be defined in the SNA-configuration on HP-UX and in IBM-Host.
