Connect to SAP RFC

The SAP RFC connector runs in all SAP systems even when a firewall is in use. You can either deploy an on-prem agent within the same subnet domain as SAP to ensure seamless connectivity regardless of firewall configurations or use a SAP Router string in the connection property to route the call through a SAP router in case an on-prem agent is on a different domain subnet.
