Optional RFC Connection Parameters

This attribute allows for alternative SAP connectivity parameters to be specified. The value of this attribute is a formatted string of name-value pairs. Each pair must be separated by a single pipe (|) character. The name parts must be in lowercase characters. The general format of the value of this attribute is shown in this example:

<name1>=<value1> <name2=value2> ... <nameN>=<valueN>
For example, the following string value would set the SAP Message Server to messageserver.com with System ID PR0 and Group SPACE:
mshost=messageserver.com|r3name=PR0|group=SPACE
The names and values are those supported directly by the SAP RFC API. A summary of the names is supplied in the following table:

Type B (Load balancing) connection

The mandatory attributes for Type B connection are client, user, passwd, lang, type, mshost, r3name, and group.

To establish Type B (Load Balancing) connection, add the following value under Optional RFC Connection Parameters:

type=B|mshost=<Message Server Name>|r3name=<SYSTEM ID>|
group=<Name of SAP application server group>

For example: type=B|mshost=SAPPR0|r3name=PR0|group=SPACE where message server name is SAPPR0 with systemID as PR0 and group SPACE.

Note:
  • The dispatcher must be restarted for each change in the Optional RFC Connection Parameters? field.
  • To establish a Type B (Load Balancing) connection, enable RFC Load balancing in SAP system.
