What is required for SAP RFC? We are on the RISE package and it is front-end access I have we are planning to connect with textura a cloud oracle software with a windows server desktop on-premise connector.

You will also need to find out more details about this "Textura" product. Will it be sending RFC calls, or will it be receiving the calls? If it is written in C, Java or .NET and is "extensible", then you could plugin one of SAP's RFC Connectors, like NW RFC Lib for C/C++, SAP JCo for Java or SAP NCo for Microsoft .NET.

If it isn't extensible, you might need a middleware like SAP Business Connector, which can translate the data format/communication protocol used by Textura to SAP's RFC format.

A different idea: RISE is a cloud-based solution and therefore probably offers various options for communicating via HTTP and XML, SOAP or OData formats. If Textura also provides HTTP-based interfaces, it may be a better idea to use HTTP instead of RFC for the communication between RISE and Textura.

In any case, in order to give good advice here, we will need more technical details about this Textura system.

Hello whydoineedaname,

RFC function modules in an SAP system must be proper function modules and must be registered in the SAP system as remote. If the calling program and the called program are both ABAP programs, the RFC interface provides both communication partners.

For more details refer below SAP help link.
