SAP RFC
The SAP RFC service supports SAP Systems of Release 4.6C and higher and the SAP NetWeaver RFC SDK 7.50. For more information, see SAP NetWeaver Remote Function Call (RFC) Software Development Kit (SDK).
It uses Function Modules (FMs) available with Remote Function Call (RFC) to communicate with the target SAP system. RFC is a mechanism that allows business applications to communicate and exchange information in predefined formats with other systems. SAP uses Common Programming Interface for Communication (CPIC) protocol to transfer data between systems. CPIC is an SAP specific protocol. RFC is a communications interface based on CPIC. RFC has more functions, and it is easier for application programmers to use.
