Is that RFC system alive?
2013-05-27
You want to call an RFC function in another system but, because you’re not a carrion eater, you only want to do it if it’s alive.
Hence, you need a way of checking whether that particular destination RFC system is alive.
How do you do that?
Charles Santana does it like this:
DATE: rfcdest TYPE rfcdest,
ping_status TYPE /sdf/e2e_traffic_light_numeric.
CALL FUNCTION '/SDF/RFC_CHECK'
EXPORTING
iv_destination = rfcdest
iv_ping = 'X'
* iv_logon = 'X'
* iv_latency = 'X'
IMPORTING
ev_ping_status = ping_status.
if lv_ping_status <> 1.
* it’s dead.
endif.Thanks Charles.
