SUGR

Transaction code SUGR is used to create and maintain user groups in SAP system. The user
groups commonly used to categorize user into a common denominator, sort users into logical
groups and allow segregation of user maintenance, this is especially useful in a large
organization. User groups can categorized as two types:-

Authorization user group : In conjunction with S_USER_GROUP authorization object. It

allows to create security management authorization by user group. e.g. you can have a local
security administrator only able to manage users in his groups, Help-Desk to reset password for
all users except users in some group.

General user group : In conjunction with SUIM and SU10, to select all the users in a specific
group. User can only be member of one authorization user group but several general user group.

TYPES OF REMOTE FUNCTION CALL(RFC)

SM59 T-Code is used for remote function call. It is used for fetch or send the information to
other systems by using gateway. There are four types of RFCs :-

1. Synchronous RFC(S RFC)

2. Asynchronous RFC(A RFC)
3. Transactional RFC(T RFC)
4. Queued RFC(Q RFC)

1.Synchronous RFC(S RFC):It is Reliable and consistent process to data transfer between two
systems but the main drawback with this if the target system is not available then the process
goes to sleep mode and wait for the system availability .The process will be free until unless the
data transfer completed so it causes resource bottleneck

2.Asynchronous RFC(A RFC):In this type of data transfer source system sends the data to the
target systems but the source system wont get any acknowledgement from the target
system(like postcard) so the source system dont know the data is transferred or loosed so it is
not reliable .

3.Transactional RFC(T RFC): This RFC is a combination of ARFC and SRFC the request go to
target system if it is not handled it generates a Transaction ID and it stores in ARFC tables There
is a background job RSARFCSE run for every 60 seconds and check availability of target
system (register post).These are monitored using SM58 transaction it is a consistent and
reliable process for data transmission

4.Queue RFC(Q RFC): It is an advanced version of transactional RFC. In this method, requests
are queued up and are processed in a sequence (outbound queue SMQ2 and inbound queue
SMQ1). This process guarantees that all the requests are processed in the sequence in which
they are received Queues are registered in SMQR.
