why ABAP connections?

[Wil_Wilstroth]

Hi all,

I have just read a few notes on RFC connection particularly on maintaining RFC destinations (SM59) and there are a few groups: ABAP connections, HTTP connections, Internal connections, logical connection and so forth...

Why do i use ABAP connections when I was doing my IDOC? Can i use other RFC destination?

Thanks and regards,

Hi William,

ABAP connections are used to connect different SAP systems. All connections are for there own type of system?

So for connecting to other SAP systems you need to use ABAP connections only.

Hi Atish,

Thanks for the advice. However, what about the rest of the type of connections? Under what circumstances i will be able to use other type of connections?

Thanks,

Hi William,

The most important is ABAP conenctions, HTTP connections and TCP/IP connections.

HTTP - Type G- When you need to connect to the external HTTP server

Type T (TCP/IP) This is the most imortant, as this will be used for all the external systems connectes, lets say FAX system, IXOS, etc.

Do reward points to useful answers.

Regards,

Atish
