Creating a content repository for an RFC connection

For each logical archive that is defined in the instance configuration, you must create a content repository in SAP. With a content repository, you establish the connection between an SAP system and a logical archive. Create the sample content repository A1 for the sample SAP ArchiveLink protocol RFC1.
