Two SRM systems connected to One back end system

[Former Member]

Hi..

Note: I have posted this message earlier ......but couldn't find that. I am just reposting the message:

In our quality environment, we have two SRM and two backend systems. One for testing purpose and other for training purpose. We are planning to remove one back end system and connect both the SRM systems to one backend system.

1. Is it possible to have this landscape?

2. In SRM & R/3 we can define two RFC connnections but from R/3 side, I am not sure how the system will determine the respective RFC connection during GR or any other process.

3. Are there any other difficulties?

We are in SRM 4.0 using Extended classic scenario. We are using SRM for processing shopping cart, Po and confirmations.

Please advise.

Thanks.

Hi Prashanth,

is very much possible.

for this you need to configure the partner profiles.

need to define port

need to configure inbound paramters and outbound parameters.

we20 - create partner profiles.

define outbound parameters and inbound parameters of the message type.

we21 - define port.

under Transactional RFC.

and create a distribution model and add message type.

revert back to me if any problem still you find.

regards

One of the likely problems in having a common backend would be number ranges of documents in the backend system. To avoid this problem, different transaction types with separate number ranges may be required in the two SRM clients.
