R3_CALL_TRANSACTION

Use the R3_CALL_TRANSACTION script element to call an SAP transaction. Before calling the transaction, you must define the required data using the R3_SET_BDCDATA script element. For more information, see R3_SET_BDCDATA.

Important!

Use separate AE jobs for R3_CALL_TRANSACTION and R3_SET_BDCDATA. Otherwise, the user defined for R3_CALL_TRANSACTION may influence other SAP JCL script elements such as R3_ACTIVATE_REPORT.
For security reasons, this transaction is not executed using RFC user rights (SAP system user). The AE normally logs on to SAP with these rights to schedule background jobs. To call the transaction, the agent logs off the SAP system and logs on again using the user defined in the Login object for the corresponding AE job.
Use a dedicated SAP user for calling transactions from AE. This user must have the required transaction rights.
