Thanks for helping me out. There are some more things where I am a little b= it confused. I will be grateful if you can help me out in that. There are s= ome points where I fell I need some more help.=0A=0A1. On my machine if I a= m not having SAP GUI installed then also is it possible to connect to SAP a= nd act as a RFC Server ?=0A2. Do I need some other information (e.g. some i= ni file, some parameters to be passed to RFC Server) for server to work?=0A= 3. Do I need to run my python RFC Server exe file in advance so that SAP RF= C client can use it? Or the SAP RFC client will invoke my app automatically= ?=0A=0AI have also gone through the help available on net for setting up a = SM59 RFC connection, from pysaprfc site and other sites also. In my case as= I don't have SAPGUI on my machine then most probably on SAP SM59 it needs = to be registered as __explicit host__ . Please correct me if I am going wro= ng here. And AFAIK in general to work as a server the application need to b= e already running and listening to incoming connections or the client shoul= d know the path from which the server application has to be started. So, I = just want to know whether is it necessary to have SAP GUI installed and con= figured on my machine before it can host the RFC Server application? Actual= ly I just want to prepare myself before negotiating with this proposed clie= nt.=0A=0AThanks and Regards,=0AVivek Kumar=0A=0AKlavdij Voncina wrote:=0A> = You definitely need access to a SAP system to test your application.
