Introduction

Transactional RFC (tRFC, previously known as asynchronous RFC) is an asynchronous communication method that executes the called function module just once in the RFC server. The remote system does not need to be available at the time when the RFC client program is executing a tRFC. The tRFC component stores the called RFC function, together with the corresponding data, in the SAP database under a unique transaction ID (TID).
The tables ARFCSSTATE, ARFCSDATA and ARFCRSTATE can contain a large number of entries. This leads to poor performance during tRFC processing.
In SNP Outboard™ Housekeeping, it is possible to delete old data from these tables using a retention time.

  • Temporary application error

  • Serious application error

6. Click Save Settings to save the selection.

8. Once the settings for RFC log cleaning are specified, you can run the created/modified settings group from the main menu.

There are several options for starting the deletion. For more information, refer to the Executing and Scheduling Activities chapter of this user documentation.


You should specify the settings ID when executing/scheduling the activity.
To check the status of the run, you can go to the monitor or check the logs.

Recommendation

Our recommendation is to schedule the task RFC Logs Deletion weekly.
