SAPRFC functions

SAPRFC use RFC (remote call function) API to make call a function module in SAP R/3. You can also write RFC server program in PHP and call PHP functions from SAP R/3. Function modules are defined in transaction SE37 (Function Builder). Each function module has interface defined. The interface definition consist from import parameters (input), export parameters (output), internal tables (input/output) and exceptions. The function module have to set RFC support enable to be able called by RFC from a remote system. More information about function modules and programming concepts in SAP R/3 you can find on http://help.sap.com under the BC manuals.
You need to compile PHP with the --with-saprfc parameter to enable this extension. You also need SAP RFCSDK (if you are SAP customer, you can find it on the "Presentation CD").

READY: RFC server enters in this state after saprfc_server_dispatch(), saprfc_trfc_dispatch() ; It is now ready to process incoming RFC requests.
BUSY: RFC server is processing an RFC request and is not available for other ones.

saprfc_trfc_call  --  Calls a function module in R/3 indirectly (tRFC)

Description

int saprfc_trfc_call (int fce, string tid)

Calls a function module in R/3 indirectly. 
With this function, the call of a function module in R/3 will use the transactional RFC interface in R/3.
Export parameters are not supported. 
If an error occurs (almost only communication errors), the RFC client program has to reconnect to R/3 later and repeat this RFC call with the specific TransID. It must not create a new TransID via saprfc_trfc_tid()

See also: saprfc_call_and_receive(), saprfc_trfc_tid()

saprfc_trfc_dispatch

(PHP 4, PHP 5)
saprfc_trfc_dispatch  --  Receives a single RFC request and call a corresponding PHP function (tRFC)

saprfc_trfc_install

saprfc_trfc_dispatch  --  Installs functions to control transactional behaviour (tRFC)

Description

bool saprfc_trfc_install (string tid_check, string tid_commit, string tid_rollback, string tid_confirm, string dispatcher)
This function was introduced to allow an RFC server program to ensure exactly-once behaviour for functions being called via tRFC in ABAP: saprfc_trfc_install() must thus be called by RFC server program before thesaprfc_trfc_dispatch() loop is entered if this program wants to receive transactional RFC calls and must ensure that RFC calls are done excatly once. 
Without installing these functions it can only be guaranteed that an RFC function call issued by 'Call Function... In Background Task' is done at least once. Then all function modules offered by such a server program which are called via 'Call Function... In Background Task' must cope with being called more then once. 
If installed, the first function tid_check, if a transactional RFC is to be called. The actual Transaction ID is passed. The function has to store this transaction-ID in permanent storage and return 0. If the same function will be called later again with the same transaction-ID, it has to make sure that it will return a non-zero value. If the same transaction is already running by another process but is not completed, the function has to wait until the transaction completes. 
The second function tid_commit is called if all the RFC function module calls are done and the local transaction can be completed. It should be used to locally commit the transaction, if necessary . 
The third function tid_rollback is called instead of the second function, if, from the point of view of the RFC library, there occurred an error while processing the local transaction. This function can be used to roll back the local transaction. 
The fourth function tid_confirm will be called if the local transaction is completed also from the point of view of the calling system and all information on this transaction-ID can be discarded.
The last function dispatcher is called from saprfc_trfc_dispatch() and return function handle for function name.

See the trfcserv.php example.

saprfc_trfc_tid

(PHP 4, PHP 5)
saprfc_trfc_tid  --  Gets a transaction-ID for a following call of a function module using tRFC

Description

string saprfc_trfc_tid (int rfc)
Gets a transaction-ID for a following call of a function module in R/3 using the transactional RFC interface in R/3. With this function a new TransID will be produced from the R/3 System. The RFC client program has to call a function module in R/3 via saprfc_trfc_call() with this TransID. 
If an error occurs (e.g. communication error) during the call of a function module in R/3 via saprfc_trfc_call(), the RFC client program has to reconnect the RFC connection and repeat the saprfc_trfc_call() without creating a new TransId

See also: saprfc_trfc_call()

saprfc_open

(PHP 4, PHP 5)
saprfc_open  --  Open a RFC connection to SAP R/3

Description

int saprfc_open (array conn)

Open a RFC connection to an SAP R/3. Return RFC handle on success or false on failure. The connection parameters in array conn are:

        conn = array ("ASHOST" => "",          
                      "SYSNR" => "",           
                      "CLIENT" => "",          
                      "USER" => "",            
                      "PASSWD" => "",          
                      "GWHOST" =>"",     
                      "GWSERV" =>"",  
                      "MSHOST" =>"",            
                      "R3NAME" =>"",     
                      "GROUP" =>"",           
                      "LANG" =>"",           
                      "TRACE" =>"");             
          

Example 1. Login to aplication server $rfc = saprfc_open (array ("ASHOST"=>"server","SYSNR"=>"20","CLIENT"=>"400", "USER"=>"test", "PASSWD" =>"test")); ?>

Example 2. Login to logon group (using load balancing) $rfc = saprfc_open (array ("CLIENT"=>"400", "USER"=>"test", "PASSWD" =>"test", "MSHOST"=>"server1", "R3NAME"=>"DEV", "GROUP"=>"PUBLIC")); ?>

Note: If you use load balancing, service sapms (where is system name) must be set in services file (/etc/services) on your PHP server.

saprfc_optional

(PHP 4, PHP 5)
saprfc_optional  --  Set a import parameter as optional

Description

bool saprfc_optional (int fce, string name, bool value)

Set/reset import parameter name as optional (1/0). Return true on success or false on failure. If the parameter is set as optional and has no value assigned, the default value of parameter is used (see to interface definition in transaction SE37).

saprfc_set_code_page

(PHP 4, PHP 5)

Description

bool saprfc_set_code_page (int rfc, string codepage)

saprfc_allow_start_program

(PHP 4, PHP 5)
saprfc_allow_start_program  --  Explicitly allows the RFC library to start the programs

Description

bool saprfc_allow_start_program ([ string program_list ])

Explicitly allows the RFC library to start the programs described in the list as input parameter program_list if this is required by the RFC partner. The program_list is a colon (;) separated list of programs that can be called from the rfc stack. If the function is called without any parameter, all programs can be called from the rfc stack. 

This call can be used either in RFC client or RFC server program.

It can be useful if you have a document management system within R/3 and want to check out documents (from sap) or check in documents (to sap) with the help of the external programs sapftp/saphttp (very comfortable; ftp/http-clients that can be controlled from external here from the sap stack; can be downloaded from the SAP Service Marketplace). The call of saprfc_allow_start_program() is needed for BAPIs like BAPI_DOCUMENT_CHECKOUTMODIFY2 or BAPI_DOCUMENT_CHECKIN2 and the like. 

Example 1: Allow start external program sapftp and saphttp $rc = saprfc_allow_start_program ("sapftp;saphttp");

Example 2: Allow start any external program $rc = saprfc_allow_start_program ();
