The message server also contains information on the grouping of application servers and on the current load balance within the group.

- R/3 system name
ID of the target system

- Group
Description of the SAP logon group, for example, PUBLIC.

dedicated server
If you do not use load balancing, you can connect to a particular application server.

- R/3 hostname
Name of a server machine of the target system, which you want to use as port to the system.

The system number identifies the communication service used in the target system.

Safety Options under Security

MTS role
A symbolic name that defines a set of users or user groups of the system who are exclusively granted access to the corresponding MTS components. If you make no entries, access is not restricted. The roles are used in the form in which they are specified for the respective components in the MTS.

Single Login Mode
Set a flag if the system to be called is registered as trusting system. In this case, you need not enter user ID and password.

- User ID
User name for remote logon, if it differs from the current user ID.

- Password
User password.

Operation Mode

Pooling of R/3 context
Set a flag only if you want to keep the remote user context ("roll area") after releasing an object or after the COMMIT WORK statement. The system suppresses the deletion of the remote context in the R/3 work process. Only the resource is returned to the pool. In this case, the time required for a round trip to delete the user context and the time for initializing a new context can be saved. You can use this option to improve performance. This option ist usefull only for stateless BAPIs and Function Modules.

Trace
Set a flag if you want to log the RFC communication in a file. To specify the directory for the trace file, choose Monitor ® Parameters ® Working Directory. The system generates the name of the trace file (rfcxxx_xxx.trc) dynamically.

Debugging
Set a flag if you want to activate the ABAP debugger. This option only works if the SAP GUI is installed on the calling system. Otherwise, the system ignores the flag.
