Outbound Adapter without PI?

Former Member

Hello Experts,

is there an overview which different possibilities exist for sending files from a SAP System (e.g. APO) to a target system or a target directory?

I am searching for possibilities which don't use the PI file adapter.

many thanks,

Michael

Hi!

If the receiver system is an SAP system you may maker use of (SAP) standard interface technologies RFC and/or ALE/IDoc. The other (very old-fashioned and always asynchronous) way would be file transfer.

The question is: Washt is the requirement and who is the receiver?

Receiver is a 3rd party application. So, IDOCs are not an option here

Hi!

So if your 3rd Party application does not implement the JCo/RFC library you only have the choice to work with file transfer (at least I do not know another way).

Create flat files in your APO using your own ABAP coding or by sending IDocs to file system. Then you transfer these files to your receiver system and process them there.

Hi Michael,

If it is a SAP system and you do not want to use PI for the data exchange,

you can consider ABAP interface programs which use the

open dataset/transfer dataset/ close dataset statements to transfer the data.

There are some function modules like FTP_R3_TO_CLIENT

FTP_R3_TO_SERVER

to directly send data to FTP

Alternatively you can configure file ports for idocs which would dump the idoc data in xml format in the specified file location.

Hi,

you could send files for example with http (adapter).
