Add/Edit Listener Screen

Use the Add/Edit Listener screen to add a new listener or edit the values of existing listeners.


Program ID
The Program ID that you specified when creating the corresponding RFC destination on the SAP server. This field is case-sensitive.

Number of Threads
The number of simultaneous incoming RFCs that can be handled by this listener.

Gateway Host
Gateway Host for accessing your SAP server. This must be exact the same parameter as you chose for the corresponding RFC destination in the SAP system.

Gateway Service
The Gateway Service. This corresponds to your SAP system number. If your SAP system number is "01" then your gateway service is "sapgw01."

Autostart
Specifies whether this listener will start automatically when the SAP Business Connector Server starts.

Select Yes to have SAP Business Connector automatically start the listener when the Server is started.

Select No to manually start the listener after the SAP Business Connector Server is started. To manually start the listener, from the SAP Servers tab, choose the number in the Listeners column for the appropriate SAP server. Then, click the red icon in the Started? field. The icon becomes green when the listener is started.

RFC Trace
Enables or disables RFC tracing.
For a productive system, select OFF. When you select ON, SAP Business Connector Server collects tracing in .trc files in directory <installation path>\sapbc\server\. The names of the .trc files all begin with rfc.

Repository Server
The SAP server alias is used as a repository for function interfaces and structure definitions of inbound calls. This way it is possible to use RFCs even if they are not defined in the calling system.
