1 Creating External RFC Components in C++ (RFC API) and the SAP R/3 Integration Applies to: Any integration with external applications that can use the RFC API component structures such as C++ programs or another platform, working as a data server to SAP R/3 developments. For more information, visit the ABAP homepage. Summary This article motivates you to understand how simple is connecting external applications such as libraries or executables to serve SAP R/3 applications where the SAP can t do their job without a help. This article will guide you as an educational way to tell about all mainly steps required to creating interesting integrations using C++ applications or another platform as you well wish. Here you can find out how you can generate simple codes in C++ to compile and build external RFC Server applications that will be reused by SAP R/3 internal developments module functions as example. Author: Marcos Werneck Diniz Company: IBM do Brasil Created on: 08 December 2008 Author Bio Marcos Werneck Diniz is a SAP R/3 consultant since 2002, working as a Material Management and Warehouse Management consultant in a large number of projects in many different sectors (industry (pharma), retail, aerospace, etc.) Currently he is a consultant of IBM do Brasil, advising the Material Management and Warehouse Management projects SAP AG 1

3 Introduction I ll assume that you have some expertise about SAP R/3 programming concepts, for instance: module functions, internal and external RFCs, function parameters and etc. This introduction will show the way of external RFC Server Applications can be used to help you at some moments where SAP R/3 conventional development can really do the work as you want. For examples, external integrations with data collectors, external equipments and some other situations which remain a comprehensive technical hard work. In these situations, maybe the best way to give a simple and good solution is using external components created by another language (C++, Visual Basic, etc.). An example to guide you In this article I ll assume you are in touch of a few technical terms used in this document BAPI, module functions, z programs, BADI, tables, external and internal RFCs, etc. Imagine you are already working with these technologies and you are going to make a next step in direction of this new integration C++ applications serving ABAP programs. If you are familiar with these terms, please go ahead if not, let me point to some related documentation that you can easy understand this concept: Classical SAP Technologies (ABAP) help.sap.com Introduction to RFC Server Programs help.sap.com Introduction of the RFC API help.sap.com An extra documentation or articles can be found using simple search keywords at Come back to our article, I ll exemplify a simple scenario as you can see at the picture below: Note: This integration will manage the following steps: #1 a SAP R/3 application calling a module function; #2 a module function handling an external RFC call; #3 SM59 appropriately settings to connect the C++ application (local machine) and #4 the C++ application in details. After this little introduction, I ll let you understand a simple example of each part of the solution SAP AG 3
4 Here you can find a preview of all codes and settings that will be maintained after this article: Creating the Sample Solution In order to keep your focus in whole solution I decided to compose the sample solution step-by-step starting by the ABAP program that will control the RFC Server application and its return. Main Program (ABAP) The program show here is extremely simple. It ll send a parameter and receive another one in this case de C++ application will receive this information and send back to the ABAP program. Please, make sure that you understand this simple solution, in order to create special processes into C++ application such as: database requests, legacy integrations, equipment integrations, etc. Let s understand the basic of this program: *& * *& Report ZMAIN_ABAP * *& * *& * *& Simple program to call RFC external functions * *& * *& * REPORT zmain_abap.. DATA: myresult TYPE STRING. DATA: msg_text1(80) TYPE c, "Message text msg_text2(80) TYPE c. "Message text DATA: field1 TYPE STRING. PARAMETERS: p_field1(10) type c. field1 = p_field1. CALL FUNCTION 'ZFUNCTION_RFC' DESTINATION 'MYSERVER' EXPORTING question = p_field SAP AG 4
5 IMPORTING myanswer = myresult EXCEPTIONS communication_failure = 1 MESSAGE msg_text1 system_failure = 2 MESSAGE msg_text2. IF sy-subrc NE 0. WRITE 'An internal error ocurred in RFC call...'. ELSE. WRITE 'The result of C++ application is... '. WRITE myresult. ENDIF. The main structure of this program is called through the command CALL FUNCTION. In this example, ZFUNCTION_RFC is a reference function which will process the IMPORTING and EXPORTING parameters. Note that this function must receive the same nomenclature of internal C++ function but I ll explain it better ahead. DESTINANTION MYSERVER is used to link the external executable with SAP R/3 through SM59 settings it s required to ABAP code understand where is the local C++ application. If you take a look in this program you ll see a simple structure when a parameter p_field1 is sent do RFC call through question attribute and the function returned a value in myanswer parameter (IMPORTING). Here you can check the screen interface of this simple function Note: This interface is simple, just to illustrate this example! And I m not an ABAP programmer If we try to execute this function right now without any other implementation our result will be something like this: Note: A message error handled by the ABAP program. Now let s forward to the next step the internal ABAP function SAP AG 5
6 Creating the Internal Function ZFUNCTION_RFC As I told you, this function will be used to take care of the internal parameters processed by the main ABAP program show in our last step. Basically we will create an empty function as this example below: FUNCTION ZFUNCTION_RFC. *" *"*"Interface local: *" IMPORTING *" VALUE(I_VALUE1) TYPE STRING *" EXPORTING *" VALUE(E_RESULT) TYPE STRING *" ENDFUNCTION. As you could see, this function processes only the parameters of the C++ application (internal functions) working as local interface between our ABAP program and the external C++ function. Here is extremely important be aware of the nomenclature of these programs and functions (C++) they must have the same name! Creating a C++ RFC Server Application Now our simple solution is almost finishing since we have to create a simple (?!) C++ application which will support the RFC Server function every time the ABAP program call them. At this moment you must consider the utilization of the RFC SDK from SAP R/3. This package will give you as well other examples, the correct includes, libraries and the file librfc32.dll required to connect this application to SAP R/3. Here you can get the sample C++ application: // RFCSERVER.CPP : Sample RFC Server C++ application // Author: Marcos Werneck, contato@marcoswerneck.com // // // required includes - please check the RFC SDK in order to use the correct files // #include "stdafx.h" #include "stdio.h" #include "string.h" #include "time.h" #include "c:\rfcsdk\include\srfcserv.h" #include "c:\rfcsdk\include\saprfc.h" #include "c:\rfcsdk\include\sapitab.h" int mainu (int argc, rfc_char_t **argv) { RFC_RC remote_teste (RFC_HANDLE handle); /* RFC handle for internal function */ char * remote_teste_docu (void); /* n/a */ RFC_RC install ( RFC_HANDLE handle ); /* RFC installation handle */ RFC_HANDLE handle; /* RFC general handle */ 2008 SAP AG 6
7 RFC_RC rc; /* SET rc = RFC_RC */ handle = RfcAccept(argv); /* Parameters processing handle */ rc = install(handle); functions */ /* Call to install internal if (rc!= RFC_OK) /* Install processing routine */ { RfcAbort(handle,"Initialization error"); return(1); } do { rc = RfcDispatch(handle); */ } while (rc == RFC_OK); /* Wait RFC calls from ABAP program } RfcClose(handle); return(0); /* Close RFC handle - end of the application */ /***************************************** * remote_teste() * internal function used by C++ application *******************************************/ RFC_RC remote_teste (RFC_HANDLE handle) { RFC_RC rc; /* SET rc = RFC_RC */ RFC_PARAMETER parameters[4]; /* Parameters of RFC FUNCTION */ RFC_TABLE tables[2]; /* Table structure of RFC FUNCTION - not used by this example */ memset(¶meters[0], 0, sizeofr(parameters)); // EXPORTING PARAMETER parameters[0].name = cu("question"); parameters[0].nlen = strlenu ((rfc_char_t*) parameters[0].name); parameters[0].addr = &questions; parameters[0].leng = 0; parameters[0].type = RFCTYPE_STRING; parameters[1].name = NULL; tables[0].name = NULL; rc = RfcGetData( handle, parameters, tables); /* Receive data from ABAP RFC CALL... */ if (rc!= RFC_OK) return (rc); answer = RfcAllocString (12); strcpy ((char*) answer, (char*) questions); 2008 SAP AG 7
8 // IMPORTING PARAMETER parameters[0].name = cu("myanswer"); parameters[0].nlen = strlenu ((rfc_char_t *)parameters[0].name); parameters[0].addr = &answer; parameters[0].leng = strlen ((char*) answer); parameters[0].type = RFCTYPE_STRING; parameters[1].name = NULL; tables[0].name = NULL; rc = RfcSendData(handle, parameters, tables); /* Send data to ABAP RFC CALL */ return(rc); } /* end of remote_teste() */ /**************************************** * remote_uname_docu() * * this function supplies a documentation <-- NOT USED BY THIS SAMPLE... ********************************************/ char * remote_teste_docu(void) { static char docu[] = "RFC_TESTE is a test program that executes a uname command \n" " on the called Unix system.\n" " \n" " A 250 Character buffer is passed to this function (and ignored) \n" " a 250 character buffer is returned from this function \n" " the returned data is a text string \n" " \n Garth Kennedy 1 Dec 1994 \n" ; return (docu); } /* end of remote_uname_docu() */ /**************************************** * install() * Install functions -> SAP R/3 ****************************************/ RFC_RC install(rfc_handle handle) { RFC_RC rc; rc = RfcInstallFunctionExt(handle, "ZFUNCTION_RFC", external (ABAP) function */ (RFC_ONCALL)remote_teste, function */ remote_teste_docu() ); DOCUMENTATION **NOT USED** */ if (rc!= RFC_OK) return rc; /* internal and /* internal C++ /* MS-DOS 2008 SAP AG 8
9 return RFC_OK; } /* end of install() */ As you can see, we have a lot of internal function that enables the RFC CALL processing with external programs in this case, a C++ application. Most of the C++ programmers can easily understand this code and modify it to use again in another solutions. Here the main point is show how you can use the common functions and procedures. Here you can find a simple context of this solution: Note: This picture can be found at The main functions that you will always use are: RFCACCEPT RFCINSTALLFUNCTION RFCDISPATCH RFCCLOSE RFCGETDATA RFCSENDDATA There is a lot of information available at and Some other specialized ABAP portals have useful information as well. But sometime the research is very hard to discover samples. Some of C++ samples are very complex and some times very hard to understand the whole function. I hope you use this small sample to understand the basic functions SAP AG 9
10 SM59 Adjusting Settings to SAP R/3 Recognize the C++ Application Our last step for this solution, is create a entry in SM59 just to link a internal identification to this C++ program. Here is the main screen of SM59 Display and maintain RFC destinations Note: There are some specific settings that you can manage at this transaction, but for our sample, we ll use the TCP/IP connections. When you create a new entry for TCP/IP connections the following screen must be filled: After, the second stage is defining the activation type in this sample the C++ application will be executed from a local directory SAP AG 10
11 Note: After these settings, you can save the information and be able to test connection in the same transaction. It s not required create the program entry with extensions such as.dll or.exe If have done all settings correctly, the test connection must appear as below: Now you can test your RFC Server through SAP program 2008 SAP AG 11
12 Testing the whole solution Now choose your ABAP program in our sample ZMAIN_ABAP and execute it as required in our specification pass one parameter and receive the same value as an IMPORTING parameter. After the program execution we have The code in C++ application that makes this result for us is listed below (highlighted): // EXPORTING PARAMETER parameters[0].name = cu("question"); parameters[0].nlen = strlenu ((rfc_char_t*) parameters[0].name); parameters[0].addr = &questions; parameters[0].leng = 0; parameters[0].type = RFCTYPE_STRING; parameters[1].name = NULL; tables[0].name = NULL; rc = RfcGetData( handle, parameters, tables); /* Receive data from ABAP RFC CALL... */ if (rc!= RFC_OK) return (rc); answer = RfcAllocString (12); strcpy ((char*) answer, (char*) questions); // IMPORTING PARAMETER parameters[0].name = cu("myanswer"); parameters[0].nlen = strlenu ((rfc_char_t *)parameters[0].name); parameters[0].addr = &answer; parameters[0].leng = strlen ((char*) answer); parameters[0].type = RFCTYPE_STRING; parameters[1].name = NULL; tables[0].name = NULL; rc = RfcSendData(handle, parameters, tables); /* Send data to ABAP RFC CALL */ I hope with this simple example, you can be able to research more options and improvements to implement solid solutions SAP AG 12
