Integrate

Configure an RFC Template

>Review the steps in the process.

NOTE: This use case provides an example of posting using the RFC BOA/ZRFC_READ_TABLE – External access to R/3 tables via RFC, but does not supply comprehensive instructions to suit all RFCs.

Configuring an RFC template includes selecting the name of the Function Module in SAP. Integrate then pulls the definition of the Function Module from SAP to complete the template.

Before creating a template, ensure the RFCs and BAPIs for the SAP connection have been downloaded.  Refer to Extract RFC Functions for more information.

NOTE: Integrate attempts to detect the data type for the fields for RFC templates when the templates are autogenerated. If no information is found about a field, the default data type of nvarchar (128) is used.

NOTE: Begin template creation on the Template page in Horizontal View. Refer to Create a Basic Template for more information.

To configure an RFC template on the Vertical View of the Template page:

1. Select an RFC name in the Function Name list box.

   Or

   Click the binocular icon to view a list of RFCs that have been extracted and are available for use; the Function Name page displays.

   In the example /BOA/ZRFC_READ_TABLE – External access to R/3 tables via RFC is selected.

2. Click Save on the row with the name of the RFC that the template should call; the General tab on the Vertical View displays.
3. Click Save.
4. Click Configuration tab.

5. Click BAPI/RFC Definition to view the loops in the RFC and the fields in each loop. 

   NOTE: The first loop record, the primary loop, does not have a loop name.

6. Select a record on the page.

7. Click RFC Documentation on the Page toolbar to view the documentation about the RFC that has been extracted from SAP for the selected record.

   NOTE: Documentation for an RFC must exist in SAP to display on this page.  For this example, no documentation exists in SAP.

8. Click BAPI FIELDS for a record to view the fields for the selected record.
