JCO Timeout for SAP Business Connector 4.7

[Former Member]

Environment :

Windows 2000, SAP Business Connector (BC) 4.7

General Description :

SAP BC is used to invoke BAPI's in the SAP R/3 system.

Issue :

Some BAPI's are taking some time to return response depending on user load. Need to provide a timeout for RFC calls invoked by SAP BC using JCO.

Following is the entry in the rfc trace log file when BC starts up ...

Questions :

1) Is there a SAP BC configuration parameter for RFC execution timeout ??

2) Any other way of enforcing the RFC time out ??

3) If there is a way to set timeout on JCO.Client.execute method ??

I really appreciate your help !!

Bhabesh,

Have you tried changing the settings under the SAP package.

You can change the SAP connection timeout.

I have tried changes the connection timeout value but if doesnot affect the time RFC. Following is from SAP BC adapter guide ..

Delay (minutes) until an unused connection to a SAP

System is timed out (default: 5)

I think I need similar setting as that for RFC connection !!
