R/3 Systems

[Former Member]

We have 5 R/3 Systems. For each of the R/3 Systems I need to develop 6 Interfaces. (Sending PO, Receiving Inovice, Sending PO Change, Receiving Advance Shipping Notice, Receiving Goods Receipt Etc).

1 ) How should is build the SLD Enteries?

2 ) In the Repository under which SC I should import the IDOC from the R/3 System

3) How should I maintain the design time components in the Repository for one Given R/3 System? i.e should I need to develop the 6 interfaces for one R/3 system under one Software component or should I need to go for 6 different software component for a given R/3 System?

Thanks a lot.

The answer is: It depends

If all 5 R/3s do have the very same developments (e.g. they use one global template) than you can stick with one Software Component for the R/3 side. If the systems are all different (e.g. each system for a specific subsidiary with an own way to run the business reflected in specific developments and even differing R/3 releases), you should go for individual software components.

If you want to use the standard idocs, you don't need to import them, just get the XI content for the R/3 components such as SAP_APPL. In this components you'll already find the IDocs delivered by SAP. If you use customer specific IDocs import the Idocs in your specific software components.

Hi Rohini,

<i>1 ) How should is build the SLD Enteries?</i>

Is your question is how to design SLD for each systems?

If so, for each R/3 system, maintain one Business System. Corresponding all other entries like Technical systems etc.

<i>2 ) In the Repository under which SC I should import the IDOC from the R/3 System</i>

It depends.This is design question.

Is your scenario is R/3 to any thirdparty systems? if so , it is better to have one SWC for thirdparty systems. and under which you can develop all 6 interfaces.

<i>3) How should I maintain the design time components in the Repository for one Given R/3 System? i.e should I need to develop the 6 interfaces for one R/3 system under one Software component or should I need to go for 6 different software component for a given R/3 System?</i>

As i told, if you have third party system involved in any interface, then it is better to have SWCV based on the thirdparty. Not based on the R/3 system.

In your case, it is better to go with 5 different SWC and each software components conatns 6 namespaces according to the number of interfaces. It will be good , in case of readability is concerned.

If you think, there are possibility of Reusability objects, then even you can think of making one SWC as a reusable and all making all the objects under this as a reusable objects.

Even one more option is Create a SWCV - and it is used only for all SAP objects like importin gobjects -Idocs/RFC etc. So that you have all Idocs/RFCs are imported under one SWCV .

Hope this helps,

Hi

if you installed webAS, go to http://<hostname>:<port>/sld default user name & pwd : admin/admin

go to technical system, select the type as webas abap and create entries.

You can also do the same from XI server.
