[Former Member]

Hello Experts,

Can anyone throw any light how to connect sap xi to a fax machine, like i get a details from the one system and then to xi and then fax the data,

any ideas? Is it possible?

Hi,

sure it is

you can use any fax server that accepts xml standards

or you can even try your local providers that

expose fax servers by HTTP like this one

Hi Michal,

Great to have your reply, how are you?

So what you are saying it will be a typically file/R3- xi - http scenario?? provided my fax uses xml standards?

Michal, might be a silly one but for sms we can use webservice , what about fax, i mean any chance by using a webservice??

Hi Anirban

>>>So what you are saying it will be a typically file/R3- xi - http scenario??

this is just one of the ways

in all of my fax projects that I've seen

(but sending only standard SAP documents)

my company always used a standard SAP fax server

(many companies provide such faxes)

so the integration is very easy (like printing)

but if you use non standard documents than

http integration can be the easiest

>>>what about fax, i mean any chance by using a webservice??

sure:)

just look at google for fax webservices:
