RFC to execute a program

Hi ,

here's a very <b>dangerous</b> fm

<b>RFC_ABAP_INSTALL_AND_RUN</b>

I'd not use fm on a productive remote system !

regards Andreas

Hi Nachshon,

Take a look at FM RFC_ABAP_INSTALL_AND_RUN; you will have to add a little logic to include selection parameters.

Regards,

John.

Thanks for the replays.

In order to use FM RFC_ABAP_INSTALL_AND_RUN I will have to pass the program code in the table, and that as mentioned, is not a safe thing to do.

I guess I'll have to write a dedicated FM .

Thanks, Nachshon.

Also, perhaps, you can write an RFC enabled function that accepts a program name to run and a table of structure RSPARAMS. Then the function can execute the program via:

SUBMIT rep WITH SELECTION-TABLE seltab

This way you can run any program remotely through this one function. Other parameters could be used to set standard program execution options. See the help documentation for SUBMIT.

The down side is that there could be security concerns with this solution. That should be considered before trying this.

Hope this helps.

Do you want to run online / (or) execute the program in batch.

Thanks
