SAP RFC Receiver
Description
This channel can receive data from SAP.
Please note that this channel uses the SAPJCO libraries from SAP. Since we can not assume that these libraries exist in every system, the SAP adapter is switched off by default.
If you want to use this channel, the configuration parameter sap.jco.enabled in the configuration group adapter must be switched on, see How to enable SAP channels.
Purpose of object
This channel registers itself as a subsystem on a SAP/R3 system. SAP can provide data to this channel via RFC. The channel invokes a process instance in this case. Every data is delivered to this process as message.
Creation
To create a SAP RFC Receiver follow the steps described in the general description of Channels.
Configuration
The dailog to configure the SAP RFC Receiver looks like:
 |
|---|
| Base view of the channel SAP RFC Receiver |
SAP-server: Choose an environment entry for the SAP configuration
Request message: Choose a message type for the request message
Response message: Choose a message type for the response message
RFC mode: Choose Transactional rfc (default) or Background RFC
Start error process: If the channel encounters an error you can connect it in the process model with an error start event to create a process instance handling that error.
If the user sets the check box Always then every time an error occurs an according process instance will be created. If that error occurs regularly because of a short polling period the user may want to avoid creating a lot amount of process instances. In this case you must not set Always but enter a period of time. If after an error further errors occur within that period no further error process will be created.
