We have reached a problem here in an interface concerning SAP and an external system.

I will try to make a description of what's happening.

I made some RFC functions to be called by another external non-sap system to extract data from SAP. The linkage is made using Webservices (SOAP). We came across an error of TIMEOUT. If I execute the function directly from SAP(SE37) the information is extracted perfectly, but if the other system tries to call the function, they get an TimeOut , The error they get is "The request failed with HTTP status 504: Gateway Time-Out.", we've changed the timeout time in SAP to 15 minutes, but this doesn't solve the problem, they keep getting the error.

Does anyone know what might be wrong ?

One funny thing is that this occurs just with 2 of the interfaces, the others work well, but these two keep getting this error.

Best Regards,

Ricardo Monteiro

Hello,

If it's happening only for 2 interfaces,then may be you need to verify how these 2 rfcs are called from external system,May be the functionality which is calling these RFCs are waiting for some processing (possible reason for time-out)...before making actual calls.

or see if they are called in batch jobs from external system & that job has some issues?

If you are sure of everything fine in SAP,then possible issues can be with external system.

Hope this helps.

Thanks.
