hi folks

we have developed an upload program using standard function modules to upload data into sap archive link ( content sever) for employee documents , when we run the program in front end mode , it works, but in background mode we get the below error

RFC server sapftp cannot be started - 1: Program no longer started via RFC. No return possi

We are using the function module ARCHIV_CREATE_FILE . and then rest of the function modules.

Hi Sameer

Please check that both the RFC destinations : SAPFTP and SAPFTPA are working fine in your systems. I assume SAPFTP is fine as you are using it in your front end.

Also for the background run - can you please use SAPFTPA and let us know the output.

Thanks

Also if the destinations are not working , you can create them via the standard report : RSFTP005

Thanks

Hi Sameer,

I guress the error is getting from the  FM ARCHIVOBJECT_RFCINFO_SEND which is used in  ARCHIV_CREATE_FILE.

Can you check the below communication settings in toaar table

   select * from toaar
     into table i_toaar
     where rfc = 'X' and version gt '0021'. "#EC PORTABLE

   loop at i_toaar.
     call function 'SCMS_RFC_INFO_SEND'
       exporting
         arc_id       = i_toaar-archiv_id
       exceptions
         error_kernel = 1
         error_archiv = 2
         error_config = 3
         others       = 4.

Rg,Kiran

Hi Sameer

Did you try using SAPFTPA in the background run ?

Thanks

Thanks Sameer - for informing that the RFC destinations themselves are fine ..

Is there an option for you to use SAPFTPA in the background ?

Thanks

Rishi

[former_member206403]

Can any one suggest how to use it in background.

Hi Sameer

Actually SAPFTP runs in the client and SAPFTPA in the Application server. When you run a background process , it runs in the application server and hence SAPFTP will give a problem when you use it in the background.

Please see the following link - should be helpful to solve your issue.

Thanks
