PI to Thirdparty Communication thru Idocs

[Former Member]

Dear all,

We have a scenario like the third party system is been certified by SAP and has got some intelligence in receiving Idocs!

Can someone explain all the steps required to achieve this from PI! The sender is SAP ECC system! The required setup between ECC -> PI is ready! we are struck to establish the communication between PI -> Third party!

The questions we have is, what kind of RFC destination to be created(PI->Third party) and required steps further !

With best regards,

Jilan

Hi Jilan,

> we can go for other approaches also for communicating with third party system . like Java Proxy, RFC, SOAP..etc ..

For setting up the communication between these two check out this one :

Thanks for that!

Since the thrid party is able to understand Idoc/Idoc-xml, we wanted to check the possibility of connecting thru Idocs!

So looking forward for all the steps required between PI & thirdparty!

Thanks Ramesh!

That is for when back end system is R/3! My scenario has the back end as a third party system!

Hence, we wanted to create RFC destination of TCP/IP & Use Idoc adapter!

Hi,

If you want to create the RFC destination then

Execute the T-code SM59

a) Choose create.

b) Specify the name of the RFC destination

c) Select connection type as 3 and save

d) In the technical settings tab enter the details SAP SID/URL and system number#.

e) Enter the Gateway host as same details above SID/URL.

f) Gateway service is 3300+system number#.

g) In the Logon /Security tab, enter the client user & Password details of Destination system.

h) Test the connection and remote logon.

Are you sure that your Third Party can receive the Idocs and not only the Idoc xml?

If yes, then there would be ALE layer also for communication with that system.

Hi Prateek,

We are still not sure whether its Idoc or Idoc-XML, but the only hint we are hearing from customer that tRFC is acceptable for connecting to thirdparty! hence we choose the idoc adapter and looking for creating RFC destination of TCP/IP and using Receiver Idoc adapter! There are certain parameters required in rec. Idoc adapter like Client number per say, we are using it as 000 as a dummy client!

But not sure about the approach is rightly followed!
