PCK XI adapter - ABAP Proxy to File Scenario How to?

[Former Member]

Hi there,

We want to implement the following sceanrio; SAP ABAP outbound proxy to Flat-File scenario. A (sender) SAP system will trigger an outbound proxy which will send outbound data to a (receiver)file system via the PCK and Central Integration Server.

SAP (ABAP proxy) -> PCK-> XI -> File System

My question is; The PCK documentation suggests that the XI adapter included in the PCK can only be used to send/forward messages to the central integration server.

Does that means that one cannot use the same XI adapter on the PCK to redirect ABAP proxy messages to the Integration server?

Thanks,

The PCK cannot be used as a replacement for XI Integration server. PCK is only a type of adapter engine that can run independantly. It is intended for partners who cannot use XI server. So PCK can not in itself execute interfaces. It can just forward all the messages received to the XI Integration server. PCK can only run your sender or receiver adapter all the mappings can only be executed on the integration server. So PCK just converts from the native format to XI format and forwards to the Integration Server.

Hope that carifies your question .

Roberto,

The difference between XI and PCK is the integration server, thats whee the messages pass through. If you develop an interface, you still have to execute it on one of the XI Integration server.
