Description
Resolution: The TIBCO Adapter for SAP R/3 can be configured to connect to an external program by using the saprfc.ini file.
Please configure the following parameters in the saprfc.ini file:
DEST = RFCEXT TYPE = <E (or R): server will be started by (or is already registered at) SAP-GW> GWHOST = <host name of the SAP gateway, e.g. hs0311> GWSERV = <service name of the SAP gateway, e.g. sapgw53> TPHOST = <host name of the RFC server program, e.g. hs0311> TPNAME = <name of the RFC server program, e.g. /rfctest/srfcserv>
After updating the ini file, please configure a Client connection with type as saprfc.ini in the adapter configuration. Please refer to Chapter 6-->Configuring the Adapter with Advanced Options: Client Connection with saprfc.ini file in the Adapter User's guide for further details.
Once the configuration is complete, please ensure that the External program is already started on the gateway before we start the adapter.
