Hi All,

I Want to Clarify One Doubt From RFC And IDOC Adapters

RFC And IDOC Are Belongs to the SAP R/3 Application But RFC Adapter Resides on J2EE Stack And IDOC Adapter Resides on ABAP Stack

Can Any one Please Explain the Mechanism Behind this ????

K remember this stuff:

We have to consider the functionality of BAPI they are function modules that are remote enabled.

So we can calls bapis from another remote system.

If you want to communicate with r/3 for example through a portal then only interface mechanism is BAPI as they can process data and retum a value back to any remote sys. To communicate with BAPI (JCO / JCA ) calls are made. These JCO and JCA are java programs. May be for this reason RFC is on java stack.

Level of abstraction is high to ascertain how rfc adapter works.

Remember idoc are only used for data transfer.But we cannot do DML ops using IDOCS.

Thatz the nearest answer i can assume for now. More Interesting Inputs Expected.
