Components of a Lobster RFC

A provided function module has three components:

• A RequestListener with configuration in file ./etc/sap.xml,

• an interface definition of the RFC as XML file and

• an implementation of the RFC as profile with an Input Agent "Message".

The request that is sent by the SAP system is received by the RequestListener. If the request matches the name of the RFC and the interface definition, the data is sent to the processing profile via Message.

Second configuration option

See section Providing RFC (second option).

Source structure for processing profile

The source structure of the processing profile (for both configuration options) can be generated by analysing the backup file of the profile (without mapping) from an initial test SAP request.
