Sap Rfc Sdk Unicode Download For Mac

If SAP NetWeaver RFC SDK and NodeJSare already installed on your system, you can install the node-rfc package from npm, or build from source.

Do you have the unicode version of the SAP RFC SDK present on the machine? The version that i have download from SAP market place is 32 bit and i have put the 6 dll inside the bin dierctory in C: windows System32. Short Description: SAPRFC is a extension module for PHP 4and PHP 5.With SAPRFC is possible call ABAP function modules in SAP R/3from PHP scripts. You can use the powerful PHP language to create a web applications or interface programs with a connectivity to the SAP R/3.

You may use the current or any of LTS node releases and the latest SAP NW RFC SDKrelease (fully backwards compatible).

SAP NW RFC SDK Installation¶

Information on where to download the SAP NW RFC SDK you may find here .

The NodeJS RFC connector relies on SAP NW RFC SDK and must be able to find the libraryfiles at runtime. Therefore, you might either install the SAP NW RFC SDKin the standard library paths of your system or install it in any location and tell theNodeJS connector where to look.

Here are configuration examples for Windows, Linux and macOS operating systems.

Windows¶

  1. Create the SAP NW RFC SDK home directory, e.g. c:nwrfcsdk

  2. Set SAPNWRFC_HOME environment variable: SAPNWRFC_HOME=c:nwrfcsdk

  3. Unpack the SAP NW RFC SDK archive to it, e.g. c:nwrfcsdklib shall exist.

  4. Include the lib directory to the library search path on Windows, i.e.extend the PATH environment variable.

Add c:nwrfcsdklib to PATH.

Linux¶

  1. Create the SAP NW RFC SDK home directory, e.g. /usr/local/sap/nwrfcsdk.

  2. Set the SAPNWRFC_HOME environment variable: SAPNWRFC_HOME=/usr/local/sap/nwrfcsdk

  3. Unpack the SAP NW RFC SDK archive to it, e.g. /usr/local/sap/nwrfcsdk/lib shall exist.

  4. Include the lib directory in the library search path:

    • As root, create a file /etc/ld.so.conf.d/nwrfcsdk.conf andenter the following values:

    • As root, run the command ldconfig. To check if libraries are installed:

macOS¶

The macOS firewall stealth mode is by default active, blocking the ICMP protocol based network access to Macbook. Applications likePing do not work by default (Can’t ping a machine - why?) and the stealth modemust be disabled:

  1. Create the SAP NW RFC SDK home directory /usr/local/sap/nwrfcsdk (this location is fixed, more info below)

  2. Set SAPNWRFC_HOME environment variable: SAPNWRFC_HOME=/usr/local/sap/nwrfcsdk

  3. Unpack the SAP NW RFC SDK archive to it, e.g. /usr/local/sap/nwrfcsdk/lib shall exist.

  4. Set the remote paths in SAP NW RFC SDK by running paths_fix.sh script.

  5. Unzip the unchar.zip file attached to SAP OSS Note 2573953and copy the uchar.h file to SAP NW RFC SDK include directory:

This default rpath location is /usr/local/sap/nwrfcsdk/lib is embedded into node-rfc package published on npm.

After moving SAP NW RFC SDK to another location on your system, the rpaths must be adjusted,in SAP NW RFC SDK and in sapnwrfc.node libraries.

For SAP NW RFC SDK, set the SAPNWRFC_HOME env variable to new SAP NW RFC SDK root directory and re-run the above script.

For node-rfc:

The v64 suffix is the node abi version for the node release 10 and the suffix for your node release you may find here: https://nodejs.org/en/download/releases.

node-rfc Module Installation¶

If not already installed, you need to install node and npm first.

Set NODE_PATH to wherever your node modules are installed, like

setNODE_PATH=C:UsersBSrdjanAppDataRoamingnpmnode_modules

Install the node-rfc module from npm

Test¶

Check if the module can be found and loaded:

Call remote enabled function modules in NW backend system (maintain your test system parameters first):

In case of issues, check if the SAP NW RFC SDK is properly installed:

Problems¶

Behind a Proxy¶

If you are within an internal network that accesses the internet throughan HTTP(S) proxy, some of the shell commands will fail with urlopen errors, etc.

Assuming that your HTTP(S) proxy could be accessed via http://proxy:8080, on Windowsyou can communicate this proxy to your shell via:

or permanently set environment variables.

SAP NW RFC SDK¶

  1. ImportError:DLLloadfailed:Thespecifiedmodulecouldnotbefound.

    (Windows)This error indicates that the node-rfc connector was not able to find theSAP NW RFC SDK libraries on your system. Please check, if the $SAPNWRFC_HOMElib directoryis in your PATH environment variable.

  2. ImportError:DLLloadfailed:%1isnotavalidWin32application.

    (Windows)This error occurs when SAP NW RFC Library 64bit version is installed on a system with 32bit version Python.

Environment variables¶

Windows¶

The environment variable may be set within a command prompt via the setcommand, e.g.

  • setPATH=%PATH%;C:nwrfcsdklib (extend PATH with the C connector lib)

  • setHTTPS_PROXY=proxy:8080 (setting an proxy for HTTPS communication) For mac mouse.

When the command prompt is closed, the environment variable is reset. To achievea persistent change of the environment variable, do the following (Windows 7):

  1. Open the Start Menu and type environment into the search box.

  2. A window opens in which the user variables are displayed in the upper partand the system variables in the lower part. You may select and editthe desired variable.

  3. The modified variables are used when a new command prompt is opened.

Building from Source¶

Check prerequisites for your platform and run:

For unit tests run

For more test examples, see files in demo folder.

Building the Documentation¶

Change into the doc directory and type:

The result is found in _build/html and for other options call make.

Hint

If you get an error ‘sphinx-build’ is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch fileon calling makehtml, install sphinx.

The docu is hosted on GitHub Pages, a propietary solution where a git branch gh-pages is createdas an orphan and the output of the documentation build process (_build/html) is stored in that branch.

GitHub then serves these files under a special /pages/ url.

To update GitHub Pages, copy everyhing under _build/html and overwrite the existing files in the gh-pages branch root:
