The RFC SDK (Software Development Kit) contains three executable programs which are also available
in C source code. These programs are as follows:
sapinfo: Client program which sets up the connection to the partner system and retrieves various
system
information. It can be used as a connection test program.
startrfc: Client program which can start any function module in the SAP system, pass parameters
or
tables to it, and receive results in the form of parameters and tables. RFC program for
connecting external systems to an SAP System.
rfcexec: Server program which is started by an SAP system and allows you to start several
predefined
functions. It can also be used for testing the connection between an SAP system and an
external
system.
srfctest: Client program for synchronous RFC (connection and performance tests possible).
srfcserv: Server program for synchronous RFC (connection and performance tests possible).
trfctest: Client program for transactional RFC
