The function library in R/3 provides a facility for generating and then downloading RFC programs to a workstation or PC. This facility is the RFC Interface Generator. With this tool, you can create RFC stub programs (that call SAP function modules) and example programs (that show how to call stub programs). The RFC Generator is only available for and in R/3 Systems and not for R/2 Systems. Generating RFC Stubs: RFC stub programs contain all the parameter-handling and communications necessary to call SAP function modules from a non-SAP System. Once a stub has been exported to your machine, you can compile it as a library file or DLL (dynamic-link library) routine. DLL routines can be called without having been linked together with your program at compile time. You can call DLL routines from any programming language whose compiler offers DLL options. (This includes, for example, most recent C and BASIC compilers.)

DCOM provides a standardized basis for creating and integrating distributed software components. External client applications can use DCOM as infrastructure for their communication with SAP servers, to access R/3 components. With this technology, R/3 components such as BAPIs or remote function modules appear as COM objects and use the runtime environment of the Microsoft Transaction Server (MTS). The DCOM Connector provides a C++ Template Library developed by SAP, which you can use to create COM objects from business objects of the R/3 system and administer them. The two scenarios below describe the different uses of the DCOM Connector: PC Client Applications
