RFC Remote Connection Protocol
The concept name provided is "undefined," and the available sources do not contain sufficient detail to ground a precise, factual definition of a specific SAP developer concept. A meaningful definition cannot be written without a valid concept name and supporting source content.

Docs explaining this concept
Prerequisites
- Concept ABAP Connectivity Basics The concept name is not defined in the provided sources, and the source snippets do not contain sufficient shared context to identify a single, clearly named concept. The sources cover a range of loosely related SAP BTP ABAP environment integration topics — such as outbound communication monitoring, the SAP Destination Service, ABAP Test Cockpit integration, and client certificate authentication — but do not converge on one definable concept. A meaningful, source-grounded definition cannot be written for an undefined concept.
- Concept Cloud Connector RFC Connection The concept name was not provided (marked as "undefined"), and the supplied source snippets do not contain enough shared, clearly scoped content to define a single coherent SAP developer concept. The sources cover a range of loosely related topics — Remote ATC, Communication Arrangements, and RFC connectivity — without a unifying concept name or description to anchor a definition. A valid concept name is required to produce an accurate, grounded definition.
- Concept SAP Java Connector (SAP JCo) The **SAP Java Connector (SAP JCo)** is a middleware component that enables Java applications to communicate with SAP systems using Remote Function Calls (RFC). Developers use it to invoke ABAP function modules from Java code, supporting both inbound and outbound RFC-based integrations. On SAP Business Technology Platform, SAP JCo is available to developers through the [SAP Java Buildpack](https://help.sap.com/docs/btp/sap-business-technology-platform/3cee866c27ec4492b789b10c5d52d94b?locale=en-US&state=PRODUCTION&version=Cloud).
- Concept On-Premise Connectivity on SAP BTP **On-Premise Connectivity** on SAP Business Technology Platform refers to the capability that allows cloud applications to communicate securely with systems running in an on-premise landscape. Developers use it by [creating HTTP and RFC destinations](https://help.sap.com/docs/btp/sap-business-technology-platform/9b6510edf4d844a28f022b3db41f3202?locale=en-US&state=PRODUCTION&version=Cloud) to enable communication between SAP BTP and on-premise systems. Tools such as the Cloud Connector can be used to bridge on-premise databases or services — for example, connecting an SAP HANA on-premise system to SAP HANA Cloud — and trust configurations can be established between on-premise systems like SAP S/4HANA and SAP BTP to support secure integration scenarios.
