S4HANA Cloud how RFC works in SCC service channel

[digirolamocristian60]

Hi experts,

before staring a new activity on S4Hana Cloud (S4HC), I wrongly thought that everything provided by the cloud was OData or similar. Instead many communication arrangements are reachable via RFC protocol only.

Then I read some help.sap.com articles on how to configure connections to call cloud-based RFC, in particular these ones:

https://help.sap.com/viewer/f544846954f24b9183eddadcc41bdc3b/1811.500/en-US/0d36508f6f1f4eae846acd4b...

https://help.sap.com/viewer/cca91383641e40ffbe03bdc78f00f681/Cloud/en-US/18602c25ae33423f847e9f2c539...

It seems that if you want to call cloud-based RFC you have to configure a SAP Cloud Connector (SCC). Is this correct? My concern is, what if I have a scenario like "non-SAP-on-premise(SOAP/HTTP/other) -> SCC -> S4HC(RFC)" ? The link I mentioned above talks of configuring SM59 destination so it assumes you use an SAP-on-premise.

Many thanks for helping.

Hi Cristian

In the KBA https://launchpad.support.sap.com/#/notes/2447593 its mentioned that an SAP Cloud connector is needed for conectivity between S4HANA Cloud and OnPrem.

In the Cloud , the use of the apps Communication Arrangements , Communication Systems you can maintain the RFC details , etc like SM59 in OnPrem for the Communication Scenario

There is a good blog available setting this up :

Hopefully the information is of help

Hi Enda Fennelly,

thank you for the answer. Unfortunately none of the blogs never mentions RFC connections.

I know the SCC is a requisite from this web page, thanks for confirming it.

It seems for RFC-based communication arrangements there are some different configurations though. I was wondering if someone has already published a guide on it on scn.

Regards.
