SAP Note 877979 - RFC tracing for external-to-ABAP communication

Component : RFC -

Solution : https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/877979 (SAP Service marketplace login required)

Summary :
In scenarios involving RFC communication errors between external programs and ABAP systems, effective debugging can be achieved through RFC trace enabling. To commence, activate trace propagation in the ABAP environment via transaction RZ11, adjusting parameters like gw/export_trace_level. Subsequently, clear existing trace files, activate the RFC trace, and replicate the error. Post-error, deactivate the tracing mechanism and store the resultant trace outputs for analysis. Additionally, multiple methods, such as environment variable adjustments and ini file configurations, are available for trace activation in external programs, ensuring comprehensive error diagnostics.
