List of RFCs needed to enabled for ADF

[vlado101]

Hello,

For ADF one of the prerequisites listed to enable it to copy data from SAP are:

**The SAP user who's being used in the Data Factory SAP table connector must have the following permissions:

Authorization for using Remote Function Call (RFC) destinations.
Permissions to the Execute activity of the S_SDSAUTH authorization object.**

The problem with the above is that there are multiple RFC authorizations so from reading that it seems like its asking to grant all of them to the ADF user. If we wanted to create a service account that would be pulling data from SAP it is unlikely that all of the RFC access would be granted.

Is there a specific list of RFC authorizations that ADF would need to just be able to do the following:

1. View tables in the SAP source
2. Pull data from the SAP as a source

By getting that detailed list it would help streamline the connection vs having to identify each role throughout debugging the connection or having to justify ADF having need to have all of the RFC authorizations.

Thank you

We actually only depend on that targeted FM(/SAPDS/RFC_READ_TABLE2 ) to retrieve data. if your account can use this FM to get data I assume you are safe.

Given it also has other dependencies, so we put the prerequisites as below.
The SAP user who's being used in the Data Factory SAP table connector must have the following permissions:
• Authorization for using Remote Function Call (RFC) destinations.
• Permissions to the Execute activity of the S_SDSAUTH authorization object.
