- Another way of determining the IP address of the SAP server is to use transaction SMMS.
- Once you have entered this transaction, you must select the connection and then click Show details.
- Under hostadr you will find the IP address of the server.
- Server type
- Here you can choose between gateway and message server.
- If you are directly connected to the server, you can select Gateway

- RFC Function Type
- For this field you have to choose between Classic and Cert.
- If you have installed the block via the .sar file, you must select Cert.

After you have started the dabFunctionModuleTester.exe, you will see all input fields. You must enter the information of your SAP system in these fields.
At the beginning, the Test Sap Connection button is not yet activated. This only becomes active after all fields have been filled.
Default values have been assigned to the Language, Download table, and function module input fields. This is EN for Language, T000 for Download table, and /DABEXP/RFC_SAPCONNECTOR for Name function module.
If you changed the name during the function module installation, you must also change it here.
After you have made all the entries, you can click on the Test Sap Connection button.
First, the dab FunctionModuleTester checks whether the SAP system is accessible. You can recognize this by the first block in which Ping is located.
The system number is then verified, which also checks the RFC function module.
The third block checks whether the structure of the table can be entered.
The last block checks whether the specified table can be downloaded.
Only one data record is downloaded from the specified table and the download is stored in the working memory. No file or log folder is created.
The configuration of the RFC module was successful if all four blocks are successful.
