Create, Test & List RFC Destinations

Verify SAP Time Zone Configuration

Make sure the SAP system and the operating system use the same time zone. If they don’t match, the Agent won’t be able to collect accurate time data.

Recommended Practice

In SAPGUI, use transaction SE16 to display table TTZCU and confirm that field TZONESYS contains the same time zone as the OS time zone. If not, then use transaction STZAC to correct the system time zone.

Create RFC Destinations

The next step is to create RFC Destinations for your QAS and Production systems. To see how to create an RFC Destination, run the following from your PowerShell window:

PS C:\apps\SLABAPAgent\bin> ./slabapcli.exe rfc help
[2025-06-17 11:30:30.903+01:00] [info] Current ANSI Code Page: 65001 (UTF-8) (65001)
[2025-06-17 11:30:30.903+01:00] [info] Config pathname: ../config/config.toml
rfc <command> [args]:
commands:
  list : list rfc connections
  test : test rfc connection
    --name <rfc>
  set  : set rfc connection
    --name <rfc> : rfc name
    --hostname <hostname> : rfc hostname
    --sysnr <sysnr>       : rfc system number (instance number)
    --client <client>     : rfc client
    --lang <language>     : rfc login language
    username and password are entered interactively
  phd  : import performance history data
    --qas <rfc> : qas rfc name
    --prd <rfc> : prd rfc name
    --dir <directory> : directory containing usage data to import

You’ll need to provide your SAP system’s name, hostname, system number, client, and language in a command-line this:

PS C:\apps\SLABAPAgent\bin> .\slabapcli.exe rfc set --name 'S21' --hostname 'vwsvtstsap13.tricentis.com' --sysnr '00' --client '100' --lang 'EN'
[2025-06-17 11:37:08.572+01:00] [info] Current ANSI Code Page: 65001 (UTF-8) (65001)
[2025-06-17 11:37:08.572+01:00] [info] Config pathname: ../config/config.toml
Enter username:

Enter your username and then your password. For security, the agent doesn’t display these in the PowerShell window.

Test RFC Destinations

To test the connection to an RFC Destination, run the following from your PowerShell window:

PS C:\apps\SLABAPAgent\bin> ./slabapcli.exe rfc test --name S21
[2025-06-17 11:45:36.906+01:00] [info] Current ANSI Code Page: 65001 (UTF-8) (65001)

The command-line interface returns details for the RFC Destination.

List RFC Destinations

To list the RFC Destinations defined in your config.toml file, run the following from your PowerShell window:

PS C:\apps\SLABAPAgent\bin> .\slabapcli.exe rfc list
