RFC API - Details

• 
  Key Concepts: 
  RFC API stands for Remote Function Call Application Programming Interface. It is a protocol used to communicate between two SAP systems or between an SAP system and a non-SAP system. It allows for the exchange of data and functions between the two systems.
  
  How to use it: 
  The RFC API can be used to transfer data from one system to another, or to call a function in one system from another. To use the RFC API, you must first create an RFC connection between the two systems. This connection can be created using the SAP GUI or through the command line. Once the connection is established, you can use the RFC API to transfer data or call functions.
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When using the RFC API, it is important to ensure that the data being transferred is secure. To do this, you should use encryption when transferring data over the connection. Additionally, you should ensure that only authorized users have access to the connection.
  
  Related Information: 
  The RFC API is part of the BC-FES-AIT Intelligent Terminal / SAP Automation GUI/ SAP Assistant component of SAP software. It is also related to other protocols such as BAPI and IDocs, which are used for similar purposes.
