Program Start by SAP Gateway 

Because a SAP gateway cannot start an RFC server program with remote shell on another machine via SAProuter, it is necessary to install a SAP gateway on a machine in the network where the RFC server program will be run. It should be the same machine for a better performance.

One or more SAProuters can be used. The following example shows

·        two different networks with two SAProuters and

·        how an RFC server program can be started by an SAP gateway and how it communicates with an SAP system running on another network.

 

 

Route Permission Tables

sapgw<GW service number>

 

A destination in transaction sm59 can be defined as follows:

 

Connection type:	T
Activate type:	Start
Program location:	explicit host
Program:	/rfctest/srfcserv
Target host:	host_11
Gateway host:	/H/host_r2/H/host_r1/H/host_11
Gateway service:	sapgw<GW service number>

 

The maximum length of the gateway host (transaction sm59) is 100 bytes.
