Object documentationCommunication Table Locate this document in the navigation structure

 

The communication table contains all the RFC connections to the server on which the cursor is positioned (see SAP Gateway).

Both connections where the local dispatcher is the client and connections where the local dispatcher is the server are displayed (the connections that were made externally to the server).

 

The communication table helps you keep track of the RFC connections when monitoring the system or analyzing problems.

The entries in the table have the following meaning:

Field

Meaning

Destination

Communication party

If the computer where you are currently logged on is the server of an RFC connection (see Type column), the destination column will be empty. If the local host is the RFC client, the remote destination - the server for this connection - is displayed in this field. You can display and maintain RFC destinations using transaction SM59 or by clicking the destination server.

More information: RFC Programming in ABAP

Conv.Id

Conversation ID: Unique connection ID

User

User

Terminal ID / Session

The terminal ID is the number of the terminal in the list of all the clients logged on to the dispatcher. The session number is the current external session.

This information is used to determine RFC dependencies in the analysis of RFC connections.

The combination TID/session defines the context belonging to a conversation ID either as a client or as a server. The TID/session is used to determine which RFCs are still coming from this context (client). The TID/mode information on the server side is used to check whether this also appears again as a client, and hence is part of an RFC chain that is accessible iteratively.

Type

Client that requested a service and therefore the connection or server that fulfills the client’s request.

Connection Status

Current connection status; the following entries are possible:

INITIALIZED

Connection is being made

ALLOCATED

Connection is made

DEAL NOW

Connection is being terminated

DEALLOCATED

Connection has been terminated

CLEAR SNC

When using SNC: Encrypted data is still being supplied before the connection can be terminated.

Request

Last call or request (at RFC level)

Wp

Last work process, used for processing

Time

Time of the last request that dealt with the connection

Integration

You can set the maximum size of the communication table using the rdisp/max_comm_entries parameter.
