Types of RFC (Remote Function Calls)


           Types of RFC

Synchronous RFC (sRFC)
For communication between different systems and between SAP Web AS and SAP GUI.

Asynchronous RFC (aRFC)
For communication between different systems and for parallel processing of selected tasks.

Transactional RFC (tRFC)
A special form of asynchronous RFC. Transactional RFC ensures transaction-like processing of processing steps that were originally autonomous.

Queue(d) RFC (qRFC)
Queued RFC is an extension of tRFC. It also ensures that individual steps are processed in sequence.

RFC is a superordinate term for various implementation variants. sRFC is the synchronous call of function modules. This means that the client waits until the server has completed its processing. In an SAP system, an RFC can also be performed asynchronously in another work process. This variant is called aRFC.

There is also tRFC, the transactional Remote Function Call. Transactional RFC is asynchronous and ensures that data that is sent more than once due to network problems can be recognized at the server side, by assigning a Transaction Identifier (TID). This allows you to prevent data being processed more than once, leading to erroneous information in the application. Due to the asynchronous processing, however, parameters can only be transferred from the client to the server in this case. Returning information or status information directly is not possible.

qRFC with Send Queue is an extension of tRFC. It creates a layer between applications and the tRFC and only allows the tRFC to transfer a Logical Unit of Work (LUW) to the target server when its predecessors are no longer in the associated wait queues. After a qRFC LUW is executed, the qRFC manager automatically processes the next waiting qRFC LUW in accordance with the sequence in the wait queue.
