PI adapter for PeopleSoft integration

Hi gurus,

I am facing some scenario: SAP <-> XI<-> PEOPLESOFT.

An application in Peoplesoft generates info and this info needs to be transmitted to SAP via PI 7.0, but my customer told me they want to specify, from SAP, which exact data retrieve in Peoplesoft.

Could you please give me some ideas about how to ellaborate on this?

Maybe we can go with SAP <-sRFC-> XI <-sPeoplesoft adapter-> PeopleSoft, if this adapter support synchronous communication.

Any other ideas or clues?? I prefer not to use BPM since i have too many interfaces running on it (and there are already BPMs there)

Another important thing is which adapter to use when trying to communicate PI and PeopleSoft systems, I have seen that there are IWay, JDEdwards and SeeBurguer solutions but wanted to know which would better fit my requirements. Could you plz advice?

Thanks in advance and best regards,

David

Hi David,

If the PeopleSoft sytem generates the information as a file then you neednot to go for any other special adapters. In this case you can use the File Adapter(If it is Asynchronous)

Even I am sharing the some information regarding IWAY adapter from the net which is used to connect the PeopleSoft system.

Regarding Peoplesoft

think it all depands on the amount and types of interfaces and data needed needed to be transfered between the systems.

We need to go over the Iway solution and see what are the featyres given by the adapter.

(from a brief read of the iway pdf) i saw they use the same methods (XML,SOAP,IDocs) to interact between systems.

the adavtage of Iway might be the fast implementation (out of the box maybe) and that there might be no development needed...big adavantage.

But some times the use of XI fits better because of the costs of the adapter or the ability to be a hub and send this data to other systems as well (again I'm not familiar with I-way solution so maybe they can do it to if they have a development enviorment for the adapter).

I reccomand you to contact I-way and get as much info as possible then decide wether its better to go with XI or the adapter.

I give you an example from SAP...

the CRM solution comes with an application called data migrator or something like that,this tool synchronize master data betweenn the SAP CRM and SAP ERP...this tool was written for the CRM and becasue of that fits well for the integration (4000 software developers can't go wrong.... )

For this integration between the systems XI is not a match for my opinion and it will take some developments in XI (the easy part) and in ABAP for the CRM and R3(not so easy part) to integrate thouse two.

So......

Go over the Blue print or understand the customer integration needs and scenarios.

Then decide according to the I-way information on the adapter which way is the best..XI or 3rd party adapter.

By the way webmethod is an instegration tool like XI and as I recall they dont have a Peploe soft specific adapter

Hi Sridhar,

I would be interested in adapters that will provide synchronous/asynchronous communication between these systems (PI and Peoplesoft).

Any clue on this?

In the meantime i will be trying to gather info about the IWAY adapter?

best reagrds,

david
