How to obtain SAP RFC SDK

Posted August 25th, 2006 by sugree

Just a note to obtain SAP RFC SDK. You need it if you want to develop any kind of SAP RFC from external subsystem like Perl, PHP, Python, or Ruby. If you are mainly working on Windows platform, precompiled DLL should be sufficient. Unfortunately, Linux platform is very complex due to various core libraries so usually, you need to recompile RFC for your programming language by yourself. Well, it is not easy to find SAP RFC SDK but I found a helpful thread.

To make it more simple, I summarize as follows.

  1. Go to http://service.sap.com/swdc. Note that you must have a valid account.

  2. In the menu on the left hand side, choose below items step by step.

    SAP Software Distribution Center
    Download
        Support Packages and Patches
            Entry by Application Group

  3. You have 3 choices here.

    1. Follow below submenu and you will find SAP RFC SDK 6.40.

      Additional Components
    SAP RFC SDK
        SAP RFC SDK 6.40

    2. Follow below submenu and you will find SAP RFC SDK 6.40.

      Additional Components
    SAP RFC SDK UNICODE
        SAP RFC SDK 6.40 UNICODE

    3. Follow below submenu to find both SAP RFC SDK 6.40 and SAP RFC SDK 6.40 UNICODE

      SAP NetWeaver
    Technology components releases prior to SAP NetWeaver
        SAP Web AS
            SAP Web AS 6.40
                SAP RFC SDK 6.40 or SAP RFC SDK 6.40 UNICODE

That's it! It depends on your SAP R/3 setting, unicode or non-unicode. You have to choose the right one.

contact your vendor

If you are customers or ISV, you should directly contact your local vendor. Otherwise, try to find those softwares from SDN. It now offers preview versions free of charge. RFC should be included in some packages.
