RFC Destination Settings for Workflow

[Dart, Jocelyn]

Hi Weidong Chen,
There are a couple of things that can go wrong.
1. Someone's put their own id in the WORFKLOW_LOCAL_XXX
RFC destination (where XXX is client number of course).
Happens more often than you would think...
2. WF-BATCH password has expired.
3. WF-BATCH password has not yet been set - e.g. is on "init"
and is always expecting a change of password.
4. You haven't entered the correct password BEFORE pressing
"synchronise passwords".
 
2 and 3 often happen in development systems particularly where
people have temporarily made WF-BATCH a dialog user for some reason.
Easiest way to fix is to change WF-BATCH to a dialog user, logon as
WF-BATCH and change the password, then logoff and reset WF-BATCH
to a system user.   Then go and fill in your password and synchronise
passwords again.
 
It's worthwhile going to transaction SM59 and testing the destination
directly - if you look in the menu of SM59 while you are in the destination
you opt to just test the connection or to test the connection with
authorization
which should confirm it once and for all.
 
But of course the real test is whether workflow is working - try the
verification workflow in SWU3 to make sure both foreground and background
steps are running correctly.

Hi Everyone,
 
We are in the verison of 4.6C.
 
I am also facing such problem about RFC Destination
Settings for Workflow .
 
When AutoCustomizing the 4.6C workflow environment
under transaction SWU3,
the RFC destination continues to show the message 'RFC
destination has incorrect password'.
 
when in 'Create logical destination for tRFC',click
the icon 'Synchronize Passwords'.
there is no error.However, when I do a test on the RFC
destination, it shows that
the ping was performed unsuccessfully and that the RFC
destination for SAP Business
Workflow is fully configured.
 
What am I missing?
 
Also, am I correct to assume from this message that
WF-BATCH and password are fine
since SAP did not prompt me for either one during the
test?
We currently have destination WORKFLOW_LOCAL_420 set
up on 4.6C.
 
As a side note, when user another user 'Mzhang' test
shows that the RFC has been configured completely.
 
Any reply will be appreciated!!!
 
Thanks,
Weidong Chen
