An ABAP extraction job that uses the RFC data transfer method might not finish successfully:
1. Abort with an explicit error/exception
2. An ABAP extraction job that uses the RFC data transfer method might hang, where the job does not display any sign of progress. After a while, the job might fail with a timeout message, such as: ABAP background job time-out occurred as defined using BG_JOB_TIMEOUT property.
3. This technote can also be used to improve the extraction performance.
