The FAB General configuration can be accessed in transaction /n/IQX/FAB_CONFIG → General Configuration. It is used to configure the RFC connection, UI5 resources, server, and caching URLs.
Please supply the complete URL in the configuration field using this format: scheme://host:port/path.
e.g. http://sapserver:port/sap/bc/bsp/iqx/fab_bsp/index.html for the Server for Workbench.
You can automatically generate the URL in transaction /n/IQX/FAB_SETUP and simply copy and paste it in /n/IQX/FAB_CONFIG → General Configuration. |
Configuration | Usage |
|---|---|
RFC Dest Se | This configuration is for the RFC Destination of the Service Implementation This setting is applicable for old ECC Systems that have an older version or do not Gateway Components. This RFC Destination can be used when IQX services are running on a Gateway System using a Local Alias, but the actual implementation is running on a back-end ECC System. Note that this is different from configuring IQX services to use a remote Alias. This setting is applicable for old ECC Systems that have an older version or do not Gateway Components.

Note that this is different from configuring IQX services to use a remote Alias. |
Back End RFC Dest | This configuration is for the RFC Destination of the Back-End System This setting can be used in scenarios where FAB Development is in a front-end Gateway System, but some functions such as lookups for Search Help are carried out in a remote system, such as a back-end ECC system.

RFC DEV Master | This configuration is for the RFC Destination of the Development Master The Development Master is the Client where the development takes place. This setting is only relevant for multi-client development environments. For example, the services are running in a run-time client like 010 where the data is persisted and read. On the other hand, the development is performed in another client like 300. We call the client 300 the DEV Master Client. For saving workflow definitions, it is necessary to create an RFC Destination from 010 to 300. This should be configured in the run-time client 010 using transaction /n/IQX/FAB_CONFIG → RFC Dev Master. The Development Master is the Client where the development takes place.

Multiple Clients on the same SAP system If your Development or QA system landscape consists of multiple SAP Clients (100 = Development; 110 = Unit Test; 120 = xxx, or 200 = QA, 210 = SIT; 220 = UAT, etc) then you need to specify the Client in the above URL using the ?sap-client=xxx addition. For example, if you have two clients (100 and 110) in your development system, and the URL is: http://sapdev:8000/sap/bc/bsp/iqx/fab_bsp/index.html, then you will have to specify the configuration twice (once in each client) as follows: http://sapdev:8000/sap/bc/bsp/iqx/fab_bsp/index.html?sap-client=100 and http://sapdev:8000/sap/bc/bsp/iqx/fab_bsp/index.html?sap-client=110 For more information, select the field and press F1 to see the documentation available in F1 Help. |
