To enable different computer
systems where one of them is SAP to communicate each other so called Remote
Function Call (RFC). The RFC is the standard SAP interface for communication
between SAP systems. RFC calls a function to be executed in a remote system.
Initially there was only an
RFC library which is called now "classic" RFC Library (see my very
old blog http://blog.maruskin.eu/2011/11/where-to-download-librfc32dll-rfc.html) is
obsolete and replaced by SAP NetWeaver RFC Library.
Later the SAP NetWeaver RFC Library was
introduced that is used to interface SAP systems starting from release R/3 4.0B
(in case of NW RFC SDK 7.20) and from release 4.6C (in case of NW RFC SDK 7.50)
and above including the newest one (NW 75).
Both the things classic and
NetWeaver are doing basically same thing. Using the SDK a function in different
programming languages can be written that can read/write data out/to SAP
system. The newest version
(NetWeaver) of course supports the latest technologist such as: dynamic meta data retrieval, support of all
SAP single code pages, new binary protocol (basXML) reduce of data volume when
using complex parameter types (nested data types).
