IDOC to XI Third-party

[Former Member]

Scenario : IDOC to XI to Thirdparty. ASYNCHRONUS.

Keeping the above scenario I know that we can achieve this without a BPM, but having the BPM serves the following important points from my experience

1) Exceptions, Alert and Cancel Process can be executed thru the BPM

2) If we want to Bundle the IDOCs then BPM can take care.

3) Initially, if we dont use the BPM and in the later stage if we want to use the BPM, then we need to reconstruct the Directory components fully. So, when we develop this interface, construct with the BPM, that will receive the IDOCs from R/3, do the Message Transformation and then send to the Third Party.

Am I in the correct direction? Whether it will affect the Performance ?If you have any additionl points please educate me . Thanks

hi,

there are so many ways of improving the BPM's

performance...

the best way is to set up the test scanatio as soon as possible and then use a test tool

(like loadrunner from mercury) and start testing

and optimizing

that's the proper way of doing such scenarios

if you follow this guideline I'm sure

you won't be surprised with the performance

on the production server

you can also create test scrips (catt)

you don't have to use third party tools

but with many third party tools it may be much easier

to achive

Thanks Michal.

I have heard about the test tool LoadRunner. But I dont know that, this tool can be used to test the BPM for Stress Testing and other Performance testing.

could you please explain me how should I plan this? Any useful links?

thanks a lot.

Hi Mohan,

If you want to collect Idocs/Send Alerts etc then BPM is the way..

Yes, it will hit the performance, when huge number of messages are processed. But this you can restrict in R/3 side in such a way that Idoc is sent as addHoc or once in 1 hour/per day like you can schedule..

According to me your idea in this sceanraio is correct..

Thanks,

Moorthy
