Using the RFC Connector

The Remote Function Call (RFC) connector enables bidirectional synchronization of data between MaintainX® and SAP.

The integration uses BAPIs (Business Application Programming Interface) for transactional operations and IDocs for event-driven data exchange. It also requires the On-Premise Agent (OPA) be installed within your network.

Requirements​

Before you set up the integration, confirm you have the following:

  • SAP ECC, S/4HANA Cloud, Private Edition, or S/4HANA On-Premise Edition
  • SAP admin access
  • A license for the SAP JCo libraries (contact your SAP provider)
  • A Workato account, provided by your MaintainX integrations consultant

Setup Overview​

The setup process for the RFC connector consists of the following high-level steps. Each step links to the related Workato documentation.

  1. Create the RFC destination for Workato in SAP
  2. Create a Workato integration user in SAP
  3. Configure OPA for SAP
  4. Configure the Workato SAP connector
  5. Configure IDocs to/from Workato in SAP
