RFC basics?

[Former Member]

Hello All,

I know the basic differences between tRFC and qRFC. I know how to create RFC's using SE37. But how do I create and use tRFC and qRFC? The RFC we usually create is a tRFC or qRFC? How do I recognize?

Thanks in advance,

Chandni

Hi Chandni,

tRFC is used mainly to transfer ALE Intermediate Documents (IDocs).

Transactional RFC (tRFC):

If an error occurs during a synchronous remote function call, the system cannot tell at what point the error occurred (most crucially, whether the function module was actually processed in R/3 before the operation failed). Restarting a failed call is therefore a dangerous thing to do, since you risk duplicating a completed function call.

To alleviate this problem, you can use transactional RFC, which guarantees that each function call you issue will only be executed once, even if you submit it repeatedly to the R/3 System. The system implements this safeguard by assigning a unique transaction ID (TID) to each transaction that you submit. When you attempt to process the transaction, the system checks whether that TID has already been processed. If it has, the transaction is ignored.

Queued RFC (qRFC):

When you use transactional RFC, you cannot guarantee the order in which the function calls will be processed in the system (it is quite possible that one call might overtake another). For cases where you need to specify a particular processing order, you can use queued RFC, which is an extension of transactional RFC. In qRFC, you place each function call in a logical queue. A function call cannot be executed until all of its predecessors in the queue have been processed. Queued RFC calls are processed asynchronously.
