Hello b_s_charumathi17

A general question mandates a general answer.Yes, it is possible to use RFC to transfer data from to non SAP system in two ways

• pull - the transfer is initiated by the non SAP system, which calls an RFC function in the SAP system to pull the data from there. SAP system is an RFC server / provider; non SAP system is an RFC client / consumer.
• push - the transfer is initiated by the SAP system, which calls an RFC function in the non SAP system to push the data there. Non SAP system is an RFC server / provider; SAP system is an RFC client / consumer.

In either case non SAP system needs to implement RFC communication. See the page https://support.sap.com/en/product/connectors.html for different options to implement it. Personally I find SAP Business Connector a very good, free of charge option to build integrations.
