Why does the JCO client connect method fail ?

[Former Member]

I am starting to write a WebDynpro application on WAS 6.3. I create a JCO client object using the createClient method, and specify the client, userid, password, lasnguage, server and system number (in that order). However the connect methos failes with error "could not open saprfc.ini, no such file or directory".

I was under the impression that the saprfc.ini was not needed when all parameters were specified ?

Anybody have any ideas ?

Thanks

Hello Avinash,

It is not because of the JCO. This problem is caused by an error in RFC library .sar patch level 41 to 42. Please install the newest RFC library as of patch number 1149, .sar patch level 43:

Karin,

  Thank you, that worked. The other soultion I was able to find (before reading your reply) was to specify the language as "E" instead of "EN".
