Help on RFC Lookup.

[Former Member]

Hi Experts,

I had few questions regarding RFC look up Funcationality,

We have created a Zlookup Table on XI ABAP Stack and maintained the table. Now

1. How can we call the RFC module (RFC_READ_TABLE) which is defined on PI ABAP Stack for the Zlookup table ?

2. If so what type of RFC Destination do we need to create any new RFC destination on PI ABAP Stack? Or can we use any existing RFC Destination?

3. Do we need to import the RFC_READ_TABLE module into IR?

4. In Message mapping, We thought of using UDF, where in I beleive we need to pass the XI business system and RFC Communication channel details.. Where can i find these details?

Can any on clarify.... Any Blogs/step by step procedure would be a great help.

Thanks

I have already given link http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/index?rid=/library/uuid/70d90a91-3cf4-2a10-d189-bfd37d9c3231&override... in my previous reply that explains how to do RFC Lookup using UDF(It is a STEP BY STEP GUIDE)

It answers all your questions you have listed.

Hi,

Import RFC_READ_TABLE module in to IR. Normally we use RFC Look up to retrieve the Data From SAP ECC.

but in your case Data Available in PI ABAP Stack it self ,so need to perform RFC LOOK up i think.

why you maintaining the details in PI ABAP Table?? from where you are geting these values to store in rfc_read_table??

Hi Ramani,

Since your RFC is in PI ABAP stack and you want to invoke. Go for the standard RFC Lookup in graphical message mapping. Check those links which I have mentioned in my earlier post.

Hi Ramani,

we dont have feature to perform RFC LOOKUP by Graphically in PI7.0,writing Used defind function is the option to lookup values from RFC Table.

Hi Ramani,

Then you can use the UDF as explained by Michal in his article (i have provided that link also)

Hi,

>>1. How can we call the RFC module (RFC_READ_TABLE) which is defined on PI ABAP Stack for the Zlookup table ?

Call in message mapping using the standard RFCLookup. Check this blog http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/weblogs;jsessionid=%28J2EE3417800%29ID0216641450DB0079090422750902016...

>>3. Do we need to import the RFC_READ_TABLE module into IR?

yes

>>4. In Message mapping, We thought of using UDF, where in I beleive we need to pass the XI business system and RFC Communication channel details.. Where can i find these details?

If you are PI7.1 then you can directly make use of lookup functionality in message mapping

else check this https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/a03e7b02-eea4-2910-089f-8214c6d1...
