Configure an RFC Destination and Program ID

An RFC destination may be seen as a set of settings necessary to connect to a system using the RFC protocol. RFC settings include the address and partner system type, along with connection information such as the user ID and password to use. The RFC destinations of all partner systems must be defined on all systems included in the distribution model. The transaction to use for this purpose is SM59.

To define an RFC destination:

1. Navigate to the SM59 transaction

The RFC destination is now configured.

Note:

The program ID is case sensitive. For example, “ORAQA1” is not equivalent to “oraqa1”.
