type of adapter and file format

[Former Member]

which will be the right adapter to use in XI

which will be the right file format to be taken form e-commerce

Scenario:-

1. A buyer is created in the SAP system.

2. The newly created customer or buyer in SAP is synchronized with Web Sphere Commerce using the SAP XI

3. The registered customer logs on to the Web Sphere Commerce store.

4. The buyer browses the catalog.

5. The buyer selects a product from the catalog. The inventory check service is called on the SAP system.

6. The buyer adds an item to the shopping cart. An inventory check is done.

7. The buyer submits the order for purchase. An inventory check is done.

8. The order is transferred to the SAP system through SAP XI for further processing.

9. The order confirmation status information is sent to WebSphere Commerce.

10. The invoice is issued from the SAP system and the invoice status is sent to WebSphere Commerce.

11. The items are shipped and the shipping status is sent to WebSphere Commerce. The buyer can check the order status from the WebSphere Commerce store.

Hi Ashok,

I think you also have to use BPM to realise your scenario.

Thanks

For points 1 and 2 you may create a new async scenario in XI with Abap proxy/ RFC/ IDoc (as per availability and ease of implementation) as sender and http at receiver.

For rest of the cases, you may create http to abap proxy sync scenario. The inventory check could be done using RFC lookup at the mapping step.

I second that;

seems to be a IDOC/ABAP Proxy (maybe RFC also) to SOAP (Webservice scenario)

On R/3 side I would go for IDoc or (preferably) proxy communication. On the WebSphere side it is most common to use SOAP protocol for this kind of scenario.
