Transfer of data from a third party application to SAP R/3 using PI

[Former Member]

Hi experts,

I have a scenario where am supposed to transfer data from an application already developed to SAP R/3

Just wanted to confirm if the following approach is right

SOAP>PI>SAP R/3

we would have an RFC defined on SAP. this would be exposed as web service on PI which means i define the outbound interface to be exposed to as web service. Source system calls up the webservice.

Issues

1. Authentication mechanism to be used

2. type of adapter to be used between source system and PI. Assume either of SOAP or WS adapters would work

Valuable inputs are appreciated

Hi

Your approach is right.

Source side you can use either HTTP or SOAP both. Authentication HTTPS is prefferred although HTTP with user id and password will also work.

You can search SOAP to RFC scenarios in SDN forum for further references.

1. Authentication mechanism to be used

Check this help section to know about the authentication mechanism:

Check the Inbound Security Checks and the Security Parameters section.

2. type of adapter to be used between source system and PI. Assume either of SOAP or WS adapters would work

SOAP adapter should suffice...WS may not be needed.
