Web Application Server WF RFC Question

[Jose Burgman [AST]]

Hi there
 
This goes back a bit - but I remember I once had to do a check and a =
database update on a remote  system with an ABAP - obviously it ran in =
the background so couldn't use a logon screen. If memory serves, all =
that was needed was a separate RFC destination that was seen as a =
trusted client with a user logon and password already inserted - I think =
we used the backgound user ID and logon. This was set up by the basis =
guys - it was his decision to create the new RFC destination, for admin =
and security purposes I suppose - it was on 4.5b so I don't know if =
things have changed since then.=20
 
Bye now
 
Jose

Subject: Web Application Server WF RFC Question
 
 
We have a Web Application Server situation that has us stumped, =
including
our Basis team.  We have attempted to set up a trusted relationship =
between
two clients to push/pull data using RFC's for a Web based workflow (BSP)
and are running into a puzzle.
 
Do know what is required to be able to log onto a WAS (with that =
client's
SAP user ID and password) and retrieve data from a separate R/3
instance/client without needing to enter that second client's user ID =
and
password?  The goal is to have BSP (Web) events pull data via a BAPI or
RFC, display the retrieved data on that Web page and then allow the user =
to
save any required changes back to the second client via a second BAPI or
RFC call.
 
We are testing this scenario by test running SAP function
RH_INBOX_VIEW_CREATE and specifying the second client as the RFC target
system.  When the function is run without the RFC target system
specification, the function promptly returns the list of items in the =
WAS's
WF inbox.  When run with the RFC target system specified, we get an SAP
logon screen.  Only after the second logon completes do we get the data
returned from the second (called) client.
 
We would like the user to simply log onto the WAS once and then be =
provided
all required data and services without secondary logons.  Any assistance
will be appreciated.
 
Thanks in advance and Happy Holidays!
