Could XI/PI integrate R3 without RFC or IDoc?

[Former Member]

Hi, Experts.

i got a problem, there is a requirement that my customer wanna to reduce RFC in their R3 by PI, they call it as "RFC

migrates to SAP PI"

i am wondering that could SAP XI/PI get R3 Data directly without RFC or IDoc interface in R3?

Please help me, thank you a lot?

Hey

You can use Proxy instead of RFC or IDOC.

Thanks

You can use Proxy, If Std IDOC, RFC available it is adviced to go ahead,

Check whether Std predelivered content available.

Hi, Aamir

Thanks, but ABAP Proxy needs coding in R3 too, my custmoer supposes no coding in their systems

i wonder whether pi could get the source system's tables, maybe it makes via other way....

>>i wonder whether pi could get the source system's tables,

I won't suggest to maintain ECC data in XI,why do you want to replicate same data in two different servers.

One option can be to use File instead of RFC,IDOC or Proxy.

This wont require any coding and will solve your purpose too.

You can take hints form the below blog and see how he is dumping IDOC's via a XML port( the blog is mainly to send IDOC in batch mode but you can use for individual IDOC too)

We are using the same approach to integrate CRM without any IDOC,RFC or proxy coming in XI.
