Summary :
This SAP Note outlines procedures for troubleshooting RFC communication issues using RFC and SAP Logon Control trace files. Problems in client-server communication can be diagnosed with an RFC trace, as it logs error details and RFC function calls to R/3 systems in files named 'dev_rfc.trc' and 'rfc_xxxx.trc'. The 'dev_rfc.trc' focuses on error scenarios, while the latter captures all RFC activities. SAP Logon Control issues are addressed with traces stored in versioned files post-internal version 31. Environment variables RFC_TRACE, RFC_TRACE_DIR, WDTLOG_TRACE, and WDTLOG_TRACE_DIR manage trace processes and their directories, facilitating easier management and retrieval of trace logs. Instructions include setting these variables in different Windows environments and ensuring proper session management to activate the settings.
