RFC

To be able to use RFC features of sapcli you must provide SAP NetWeaver RFC SDK libraries.

These libraries are listed in the PyRFC installation manual and can be found on file system of your ABAP server.

The container expects the libraries at /usr/local/sap/nwrfcsdk/lib.

Of course, it is much simpler to create your own docker image with the libraries bundled instead of passing them via a volume.

docker pull filaksap/abapops

DOCKER_RUN="docker run -i --rm -v /path/to/the/nw_rfc_sdk_libs:/usr/local/sap/nwrfcsdk/lib"

SAPCLI_ENV="-e SAP_HOST=172.17.0.2 -e SAP_SYSNR=00 -e SAP_CLIENT=001 -e SAP_SID=NPL -e SAP_USER=DEVELOPER -e SAP_PASSWORD=****"

${DOCKER_RUN} ${SAPCLI_ENV} filaksap/abapops sapcli startrfc STFC_CONNECTION '{"REQUTEXT":"ping"}'
