Documentation

Definition

A launch transaction can transfer session information to the remote system. This session information can be used to call back the source session, and update data there.

Use

For security reasons, the transmission of the session ID should be performed only with HTTPS. In transaction CRMS_IC_CROSS_SYS, you can define whether HTTP or HTTPS is used.

Example

One possible technique for the call back is simple ABAP messaging (SAM).

The launch transaction transfers the SAM session ID and the logical system of the source system, to the remote system. In the remote system, this data is available with the function modules IC_LTX_GET_SOURCE_SESSION (CRM systems) and IC_LTXE_GET_SOURCE_SESSION (ERP systems), as long as the launch transaction is running.

The remote system can call SAM function modules via RFC. It passes the SAM session ID again, as well as the data that is to be updated. Now SAM is able to update the passed data within the session that initiated the launch transaction.
