Use

In this IMG activity, you maintain the RFC destinations that are used to execute methods for pre- and postprocessing of transports (before-export and after-import). You can use these RFC destinations for the following purposes:

  • Transport postprocessing

    Technically, postprocessing of transports takes place in client 000 of the target system, but logically, post-processing processes the import client. To be able to run these methods in the import client, you need an RFC connection for the respective target client in the target system of the transports.

  • Local client copy (transaction SCCL)

    An analysis phase (also called analysis exits of client copy) is started using the RFC destination in the source clients of a local client copy. The client copy is started in the target client and the analysis is executed through the RFC destination in the source client. This analysis phase is used to copy settings that require special postprocessing in the target client.

  • Copy according to transport request (transaction SCC1)

    If the request was not released, the export preprocessing is started through an RFC connection in the source client of the transport request before the data is copied to the target client.

The same destinations can be used for all purposes (for a given client).

Requirements

Transport objects that refer to the following function modules as methods, must have a valid RFC destination:

  • FINB_TR_AFTER_IMP_METHOD
  • FINB_TR_BEFORE_EXP_METHOD

If the Financial Basis component was installed, to execute a client copy you need an RFC connection to the source client of the copy.

Standard settings

SAP does not deliver any settings by default.

Activities

The system searches for suitable destinations in the following steps:

  1. Entries in the current maintenance view (table FINB_TR_DEST)

    If no RFC connections were defined in this step, the system searches for a suitable RFC connection in two other steps:

  2. An RFC destination with the naming convention FINBTR@<system>CLNT <client>

    (for example: system XYZ and client 100 -> FINBTR@XYZCLNT100 )

  3. RFC destinations with the name of the logical system of the target client

Recommendation

If you define the RFC destinations in this step, you gain a better overview.

Maintain a valid RFC destination for

  1. Each client in which you want Customizing requests to be imported
  2. Each client that is the source of a client copy you want to perform locally in the system

Create the RFC destinations with the following data:

  • RFC destination: Logical system name of target system in uppercase letter
  • Connection type: 3 (R/3 connection)
  • Tab page Logon/Security, group box Logon:
    • Enter User and Password. The user should be a communication user with sufficient authorizations for the application for security reasons.
    • Enter the Client explicitly.
