 Remote Function Call Tab

The Remote Function Call tab is object type-specific and is only available in objects of type "Connection". It is automatically displayed if the connection type "Remote Function Call" has been selected in the Attributes tab.

Object: Connection
Object class: System object

Object type (short name): CONN


General Tab

Field/Element Description
Connection Type

You can select whether the connection should be established to a specific application server or via a balanced or group selection.

max. concurrent connections

The agent dynamically administers the connections to the SAP system. If one connection is busy, another one opens automatically.

This parameter determines the maximum number of simultaneous RFC connections that the SAP can open per login combination (SAP client, SAP user, SAP login language).
Automic recommends specifying an unlimited setting (default value, no value specified). Instead, match the agent's resource setting (to be configured in the variable UC_HOSTCHAR- WORKLOAD_MAX_JOB or the System Overview) with the number of SAP batch processes. The advantage is that jobs do not become active on the agent's side if the resource limit has been reached.  

Note that to use an unlimited number of RFC connections you need to configure this in SAP (see SAP note 314530).

Default value: unlimited

Interfaces Tab

Field/Element Description
BC-XBP  
Use AE Interface Activate this option if the SAP agent should use the default interface plus the AE interface.
Combine job steps

This option can be used to combine the script elements R3_ACTIVATE_REPORT, R3_ACTIVATE_EXT_PROGRAM and R3_ACTIVATE_EXT_COMMAND in SAP in one job if they are used in immediate succession.

Interface version

The interface version of the XBP interface.

The setting "default" means that the SAP agent queries the SAP system about the interface version in use.

For further information about the XBP interface refer to the SAP documentation:
SAP Interface Repository: http://ifr.sap.com.
SAP Help Portal: http://help.sap.com.

Audit level XMI log monitoring level
Block size in KB for Spool lists The SAP spool is transferred block by block. Automic recommends using the default value because it will also be applied if this field does not include a value or if value 0 has been specified.
BW-SCH  
Allow parallel execution of same chain

With this option activated, the system allows a process chain to run multiple times parallel.

The parallel execution of a process chain can result in a Dialog service process in the BW Application Server being constantly occupied.

Extended InfoPackage monitoring

Status monitoring type of the InfoPackage.

No extended monitoring No modification, present status monitoring continues .
Monitor until MAXRUNTIME It the technical status "Red" occurs, status monitoring continues until the point in time specified in the parameter MAXRUNTIME= of the script element BW_ACTIVATE_INFOPACKAGE or until the status changes.
Repeat status check ... x

It the technical status "Red" occurs, status monitoring continues n times. If the status changes, monitoring continues. If the status does not change, the job ends or aborts depending on the specification made in the parameter ERROR=.

Repeat Data Request checks

This parameter can be used to define how often BAPI_ISREQUEST_GETSTATUS should be called if it returns an error message.

Default value: "0"

This is a workaround for a SAP error. More details are available in the SAP note 672353.

ipak change method

This option causes various technical calls of BAPI_IPAK_CHANGE.

"0" - No modification, present procedure continues.
"1" - BAPI_IPAK_CHANGE is called without using the parameter SELECTIONS.
"2" - BAPI_IPAK_CHANGE is called with the parameter SELECTIONS being empty.
"3" - BAPI_IPAK_CHANGE is no longer called. AE expects that the start type "Immediately" has been specified in the Job object.
"4" - BAPI_IPAK_CHANGE is called using the following parameters:

INFOPACKAGE: The technical name of the InfoPackage (mandatory).
SCHEDULING_PARAMS: Previously read with BAPI_IPAK_GETDETAILS, STARTTYP=I
INFO_CUBES: Only if BAPI_IPAK_GETDETAILS also supplies Info Cubes.
