RfcOpenExtV3 

Better use the call RfcOpenEx.

The following function opens an RFC connection.

RFC_HANDLE  SAP_API  RfcOpenExtV3(char* destination,
  RFC_MODE  mode,
  char*  hostname,
  int sysnr,
  char*  gateway_host,
  char*  gateway_service,
  char*  client,
  char*  user,
  char*  password,
  char*  language,
  int trace
  RFC_INT   use_load_balancing,
  char * lb_host,
  char * lb_system_name
  char * lb_group
  RFC_INT   use_sapgui);

All parameters are passed as single fields (using RFC_MODE).

The following parameters are always needed in this call: RFC_MODE mode and SAP logon information: client, user, password, language, trace, and use_sapgui.

The following parameters are necessary, depending on RFC_MODE:

·        RFC_MODE_CPIC:

¡        destination must be defined

¡        gateway-host and gateway_service can be defined

¡        sideinfo is necessary.

·        RFC_MODE_R3ONLY/RFC_MODE_VERSION_3

¡        use_load_balancing is 0 (OFF)

§         destination is not NULL:

gateway_host, gateway_service, hostname and sysnr can be defined. sideinfo is necessary.

§         destination is NULL:

gateway_host and gateway_service can be defined. hostname and sysnr must be defined.

¡        use_load_balancing is 1 (ON)

destination, gateway_host, gateway_service, hostname and sysnr will not be evaluated.

lb_host and lb_system_name must be defined. If lb_group is NULL, the group ‘PUBLIC’ will be used.

use_sapgui and ABAP-Debug are not available with R/2.

This function is defined in SAPRFC.H.
