ABAP Proxy Real time

[Former Member]

Hi gurus,

I do know what abap proxies are(both client and server) i do know how to create both client and server proxies.

[all thanks to SDN for that...but i quiet haven't been able to relate it to real world scenario]

Just imagine a scenario for example PO goods recpt---> File...

how to i go about this, what are the things i need to get done apart from generation of the proxy from the o/b interface?

I mean

1. how/when does it get triggered?

2. If I've analyzed how/when to trigger it how can i trigger it? do i need to write seperate reports?

{I don't have a proper abap bckground, please suggest mechanisms like rfc's or other options to reports}

3. When to opt for report/ when for rfc?

Similarly for an Inbound async proxy interface: I'm unable to think of a real world scenario: could some1 help me out?

1. There is no need to schedule reports here?

> I've heard of some standard delivered proxies for integration. How can i access these?

> When is the best time i need to go in for proxies? wouldn't it take much time for coding it?

i may sound unreasonable in asking all my questions with respect to proxies in just one thread.

I would appreciate anybody's inputs on this

thanks

Hi,

if you want to send goods recipt from SAP

I suggest using IDoc just like I described in my article:

http://www.scmexpertonline.com/article.cfm?session=&id=3760

then you'd just have a simple IDOC - file scenario

for IDOC configuration you can check out my book

Thanks Michal,

So now i know we don't need to use proxy for this scenario.

I was trying to delv deep into a usecase where i might have to use a proxy.

could you give me a use-case that you've encountered where there were no standard idocs?

If you did use a proxy- then how was it triggered? a report?

I appreciate your response,

hank

Hi,

>>>could you give me a use-case that you've encountered where there were no standard idocs?

in most cases like this I developed a custom IDOC to handle it:)

>>>If you did use a proxy- then how was it triggered? a report?

the only standard component of SAP which I used with proxies

was SAP AII (autoid) and all the client proxies where standard from special function modules inside it

server proxies were called from XI in in a normal way

(for business partner, product replications)

if you want to use proxies in ECC the easiest standard object (flow) that

can handle them is sending the business partner I believe
