Debugging a RFC call using JCo API

[Former Member]

Most of the JCO classes like JCO.Function, JCO.Table, JCO.ParameterList, JCO.Record and JCO.Structure supports writeHTML(String) and writeXML(String) method.

writeHTML(String filename) -> method takes the file name as an input parameter and writes the dump of the corresponding object into a file in the form of HTML document.

writeXML(String filename) -> method takes the file name as an input parameter and writes the dump of the corresponding object into a file in the form of XML document.

This can serve as a very easy tracing mechanism while making a RFC call using JCo API to verify whether everything went as expected or not.

Java Code Snippet:

JCO.Repository mRepository;  mRepository = new JCO.Repository("MyFunctions",      mConnection);  IFunctionTemplate ft = mRepository.getFunctionTemplate ("ZANY_RFC_MODULE");  JCO.Function function = ft.getFunction();  mConnection.execute(function);    function.writeHTML("C:\function.html");  function.writeXML("C:\function.xml");

The following were the dump files created as a result of the code.

HTML Dump:



XML Dump:



Similar dump files can also be created for other JCO Objects like Table, ParameterList, Structure etc by calling their corresponding writeHTML(String) or writeXML(String) function.
