Asynchronous RFC

[Former Member]

In our Scenario from an Asynchronous RFC we are sending a message to XI and then a Synchronous call to webservice, the response from the Webservice will be sent to another Asynchronous RFC (Let us say RFC2).

Question 1 : Whether Asynchronous RFC is possible? if so what are all the steps to be done as Sender and Receiver RFC side.

Question 2 : When we import an RFC whether it will behave like an Message Interface or should we need to create a Message interface Explicitly?

Any blogs or links or suggestions will be appreciated.

Hi Karen,

>>Question 1 : Whether Asynchronous RFC is possible? if so what are all the steps to be done as Sender and Receiver RFC side.

Yes Asynchronous RFC is possible. The configuration in IR and ID for RFC sender and Receiver will be same like any other asynchronous sender/receiver adapter except for few additional configuration for sender RFC adapter.

>>Question 2 : When we import an RFC whether it will behave like an Message Interface or should we need to create a Message interface Explicitly?

Yes when we import RFC it will behave like message type and message interface for both request and response messages. But since it is asynchronous RFC response structures can be ignored. You need to create message interfaces explicitly if you are using it in a BPM (since BPM uses only abstract interfaces).

hope this helps..

Hi Karen,

sure it is have a look at my weblog:

/people/michal.krawczyk2/blog/2005/03/29/configuring-the-sender-rfc-adapter--step-by-step

on how to create sender rfc (to send messages from sap to XI) in an async way

>>>Question 2 : When we import an RFC whether it will behave like an Message Interface or should we need to create a Message interface Explicitly?

no need for message interface unless you're using BPMs
