The security settings in SAP can prevent RFC connection from certain hosts. To test this, generate an RFC trace as follows:
- Download our RFC Test Utility from here
- Extract the files into a directory (important, do not run from the zip file)
- Run RfcTest by double-clicking on it
- Enter your connection details
- Do not select a log file directory
- Click connect
- Wait about 30 seconds
- Click disconnect. If the connection failed, you will get the message “Server is not running”
- If the connection fails, an rfc trace file (.trc) will be generated in the folder where the files were extracted
- Open the trace file in notepad and check for any errors reported
A typical error occurs when remote RFC connection is not authorised from the PC where ERP-Scale has been installed. Check the related articles.
