  • Key Concepts: 
    Background RFC (Remote Function Call) is a type of communication protocol used in SAP systems to enable communication between different systems. It allows for the transfer of data between two systems, such as a client and a server, without the need for manual intervention. It is used to execute functions in the background, meaning that the user does not need to be present for the function to be executed. 
    
    How to use it: 
    Background RFC can be used to transfer data between two systems, such as a client and a server. To use it, the user must first create an RFC destination in the SAP system. This destination will contain information about the target system, such as its IP address and port number. Once this is done, the user can then call the function in the background using the RFC destination. 
    
    Tips & Tricks: 
    When using Background RFC, it is important to ensure that the target system is properly configured and that all necessary security measures are in place. Additionally, it is important to ensure that the data being transferred is secure and that any sensitive information is encrypted before being sent.
