How to connect to third party using PI for outbound and inbound interfaces

[Former Member]

Hello,

I have scenarios where I have data coming in from third party EDI subsystem and sent to SAP. And also from SAP to EDI subsystem. We need to send the XMLs to the EDI subsystema nd also receive XMLs.

Can someone please suggest the ways I can connect to EDI subsytem for both Outbound and Inbound interfaces.

Thanks

Hi

Please check this blog on EDI transmissions

Looks like SAP Information exchange will be available to do the EDI transformation

We need to send XML to EDI susbsytem.

currently we are sending XML to MQ Servers using JMS adapter. From the MQs Gateway picks the messages and sends it to EDI subsystem.

We want to elminate MQs and Gateway and directly commnunicate to EDI subsystem.

So please suggest we can use SOAP or HTTP adapter for Outbound and Inbound Interfaces.

Thanks

Hi,

In this case check with the EDI subsystem if it supports http adapter...then you can check the possibilty of the same...

in case of inbound..if it all if you need to receive EDI data then need to check for the EDI adapters as the edi data will be different from normal data...which is not supported by the default adapters of PI...

Yes it supports HTTP. Can use please suggest some blogs that I can refer for this requirement.

Also Inbound it is sending XML and not EDI format. So how can we build this interface. Using Web services or please suggest other ways to handle this.

Hi Prabhu,

If the inbound is the xml document then you can load it into xi using file adapter. Then do the mapping to the idoc according to the edi transaction. Simlarly you can do for the other side also.

We do not wish to use FTP or place files on XI folders.

Can we use Idoc Adapter or HTTP adapter to send data?

If yes can anyone send some links to refer.

Thanks

Hello All,

I have EDI subsystem that supports Idocs.

I need to send idocs from EDI subsytem to ECC.

Can anyone tell me what configurations I need to do

Thanks

Hi Prabhu,

EDI file is different from the normal flat or xml file. Hope you understand the difference.

Now if your EDI subsytem has the capability of converting the xml file to edi file viceversa then create and receive the xml file from the EDI subsystem. For the xml file you may use the file adapter as an option.

If it doesnot have the capability then seeburger adapter needs to be used. This is not an inbuilt adapter. So your company needs to purchase it.

Hi.

You need to use an adapter to convert the EDI Files to XML.Seeburger is an option.

Use File Adapter.

You can also use IDOC adapter if it supports.
