Checking RFC ConnectionsLocate this document in the navigation structure

Prerequisites

All SAP systems in a transport domain are linked to each other by RFC connections. You can check these RFC connections in the TMS system overview.

Procedure

To check the RFC connection for an SAP System:

  1. In the system overview, position the cursor on the SAP System for which you would like to check the connection.
  2. Choose Start of the navigation path SAP System Next navigation step Check Next navigation step Connection Test End of the navigation path.

    If the RFC connection is established, the message Connection to system <SID> (host <host>) ok is displayed.

    Note

    You can also perform the connection test for locked systems. You can check if a system can be unlocked again.

To check all RFC connections, choose Start of the navigation path Monitor Next navigation step RFC Connections End of the navigation path in the initial screen of the TMS.

A connection test is performed for all active SAP Systems in the transport domain. The status bar indicates which SAP System connection is being checked.

Result

The result list displays the following information for each SAP System:

  • Host on which the SAP System is running
  • Time for setting up the connection in milliseconds
  • Connection status

The connection status can have two statuses:

  • Connection OK
  • No connection

To display detailed information on the connection status, click on the status field for an SAP System.

Note

The connection test is always performed in both directions. It also includes checking to see if the SAP System on which the connection test is performed can be reached by the other systems in the transport domain.

Note

If there are connection problems with SAP Systems with multiple application servers, you can change the server configured for TMS (see: Special Features for Systems with Multiple Application Servers).
