Send messages from BW to XI - how ?

[Former Member]

Hi,

I have a requirement to send messages from BW to XI.

Is there any standard method to do this ? Or will I need to write an ABAP to run each night and call an ABAP proxy?

Is there any way to set up each infocube to send messages out automatically ?

Cheers

Colin.

Hi,

I would prefer not to use Open Hub Services if at all possible as this costs bundles of cash.

Are there any other approved methods ?

Kind regards

Hi Colin,

Yes, I guess you need to create a Client ABAP proxy and schedule a report for sending data from data source generated and schedule it.

For this to be done, you have to create an application package in Bw system and create a BW datasource with SOAP connection. Once this is done, system automatically creates a function module. Call this functional module in the client proxy to be triggered.

Hi,

This sounds interesting.

Can you please expand on the steps required to be actioned in BW to be able to transfer information from a datasource.

Hi Colin,

The integration of SAP XI and SAP BW offers the following advantages:

• Central maintenance of message flow between logical systems of your system landscape.

• Options for transformation of message content between sender and recipient.

Mappings help you to adapt values and structures of your message to the recipient. In this way, you can transfer different types of files to a SAP BW system using interface mapping. However, in any case, it is necessary to transform the data into a format that corresponds to the interface of the function module that is generated in SAP BW and used for data transfer. The function module contains a table parameter with a flat structure. This means that the data have to be transformed so that they fit to a flat structure in SAP BW.

• Using proxy communication with SAP BW.

Proxies are executable interfaces generated in the application systems for communication with the SAP XI Integration Server. We recommend the use of proxies for communication with SAP BW because they guarantee Full Quality of Service (Exactly Once in Order). They also guarantee that the data is delivered only once and in the correct sequence. The SAP XI Integration Server keeps the serialization as it was established by the sender.
