SAP Note 42692 - Test tool for RFC links: sapinfo

Component : RFC -

Solution : https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/42692 (SAP Service marketplace login required)

Summary :
This SAP Note details a method to test any RFC link at the operating system level using the RFC client sapinfo after installation of RFC-SDK. If the usual test in SM59 isn't sufficient, sapinfo allows a more thorough connection check by specifying server host and instance number directly. For setups involving SAProuter, an additional route string parameter is used to determine the pathway across network sections. Successful tests display system information, while errors prompt detailed error output. For troubleshooting, generation of trace files is recommended. Further usage and additional parameter changes for sapinfo-Release 4.0 are referenced to specific notes.
