Line 2: {{primary sources\|date=May 2016}} {{refimprove\|date=August 2015}} '''Remote Function Call''' is ~~the~~a proprietary [[SAP SE]] interface. Remote Function Call (RFC) is the standard SAP interface for communication between SAP systems. The RFC calls a function to be executed in a remote system.<ref>[https://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/6f/1bd5b6a85b11d6b28500508b5d5211/frameset.htm RFC documentation by SAP]</ref> Remote function calls may be associated with [[SAP AG\|SAP]] software and [[ABAP]] programming and provide a way for an external program (written in languages such as [[PHP]], [[Active Server Pages\|ASP]], [[Java (Sun)\|Java]], or [[C programming language\|C]], or [[C++]]) to use data returned from the server. Data transactions ~~are~~can ~~not limited to getting~~get data from the server, ~~but~~and can insert data into server records as well. SAP can act as the Client or Server in an RFC call. ==Technical overview== A Remote Function Call (RFC) is the call or remote execution of a Remote Function Module in an external system. In the [[~~SAP AG~~SAP_ERP\|SAP]] system, these functions are provided by the RFC interface system. The RFC interface system enables function calls between two SAP systems. There are 3 different versions of RFC communication: Line 25: To implement RFC partner programs in non-SAP systems, read: Components of the SAP Communication Technology. RFC-supported and GUI-supported interfaces can be used by external programs to call and execute function modules in SAP ~~systems, and execute them in these~~ systems. Likewise, ABAP programs can also use these interfaces to use functions supplied by external programs. Functions are remote-enabled by setting the "Remote-enabled module"-flag in the Attributes tab of the ABAP Workbench: Function Builder (transaction SE37). ==SAPRFC== SAPRFC is an [[Open-source software\|open source]] program for [[UNIX\|NIX]] and [[Microsoft Windows\|Windows]] systems that allows [[PHP]] to make calls to an RFC-enabled SAP R/3 system. ==See also== Line 43: ==External links== [https://forums.sdn.sap.com/forum.jspa?forumID=124 PHP Development Forums] in the [http://www.sdn.sap.com SAP Developer Network] [~~http~~https://saprfc.sourceforge.net/ SAPRFC Open Source Project] [https://www.opc-router.com/3-sap-systems_opc_ua_router_en/ Graphical RFC Connector] [[Category:SAP SE]]
