Configuring HTTP and RFC Connections in SAP XI / PI

 

Local RFC Connections

For local RFC connections between AS ABAP and AS Java (that is, for RFC connections within the same instance), the variable $$ is used for local addressing.

1. Specify the following parameters:

   • hostname: localhost

   • gwservice: 'sapgw$$'

   • instno: '$$'

   At runtime, rfcengine substitutes '$$' with the local instance number.
