Create an RFC Destination for Workato in SAP

REQUIRED STEPS

• Setting up the RFC destination with a Program ID is a mandatory step until OPA v24.3.
• Effective OPA v25, program ID is an optional field. (Leave it blank in the connection page if you only intend to use RFC/BAPI)

In SAP, use Transaction SM59 to create a new RFC Destination of type TCP/IP (type T).

1

Select the TCP/IP Connection folder and click the create button.

RFC DESTINATION NAME

Use the RFC Destination name in accordance to the SAP system landscape. For example: the Development, Test, and Production environments can be WORKATODEV, WORKATOTST, and WORKATOPRD respectively.

2

In the Technical Settings tab, select the Registered Server Program option.

3

Enter WORKATO (case-sensitive) as the program ID.

PROGRAM ID

There can be only one registration with a combination of SAP Gateway host + SAP Gateway service + Program ID active at one time. We recommend that you use a unique program ID to establish multiple connections from Workato pointing to different clients within the same SAP system.

4

Proceed to the MDMP & Unicode or Unicode tab. Set the communication type to Unicode.

5

Click Save. Your newly-created RFC destination should appear.
