Siebel Connector for SAP R/3 > Installation and Configuration > Modifying SAP Configuration Files > Modifying the saprfc.ini FileThe saprfc.ini file contains information that Siebel applications use to connect with SAP. Depending upon your installation and configuration, you may have saprfc.ini files in the following folders: siebsrvr/bin, tools/bin, and seaw/bin. The siebsrvr/bin folder is used when SAP business services execute in the Siebel server. The tools/bin folder is used when SAP integration object wizards are executed in Siebel Tools. The seaw/bin folder is used when SAP business services execute from the Siebel Mobile Web Client. SAP business services execute in the client only during execution of the Workflow Simulator and EAI Business Service Simulator. You may modify and use these files, or you may elect to use an already existing file you may have set up for your SAP R/3 installation. In any case, you must set the RFC_INI environment variable to point to your saprfc.ini file. This must be set on every Siebel installation that executes the server or Tools applications. In a test environment, you also need to set this environment variable on any machine on which you are executing the Workflow Simulator or EAI Business Service Simulator in the Siebel Mobile Web Client. The saprfc.ini file contains a series of SAP Destination definitions. Each definition contains the connection information necessary for an external application to connect to SAP in some manner. Each entry begins with the name of the Destination: DEST=name. The name in the destination entry is important, as it is this name that must be entered in the Siebel application so that the Siebel Business Services can retrieve the connection information in this entry. There are two types of entries in the file that are important for connection to SAP. The first is indicated by a TYPE=A entry in the saprfc.ini file destination entry. This type of destination entry indicates that the external application (Siebel Business) connects as a client to the SAP R/3 Application Server. The BAPI adapter uses this type of entry. The second destination type is indicated by a TYPE=R entry in the saprfc.ini file destination entry. This type of destination entry indicates that the external application (Siebel Business) connects as a server to the SAP R/3 Application Server. The tRFC BAPI Receiver uses this type of entry. To create a destination entry for the BAPI adapter
See your SAP documentation for more information on this type of entry. To create a destination entry for the tRFC BAPI receiver
