Integrate PI and TIBCO together for message exchange

[Former Member]

Hello All,

We have an environment where we need to integrate SAP-ECC with a 3rd party CRM system using PI and TIBCO.

So the data flow would be ECC>PI>TIBCO-->CRM system and vice versa.

I wanted to know if anyone here has done this before.

If yes, would you be able to help me with the following:

1. Which adapter can we use to integrate the 2 middlewares.

2. If anyone has used this before, are there any known issues

3. Based on SDN search it is suggested to use SOAP adapter for PI TIBCO integration - can someone confirm if we can use both synchronous as well as asynchronous methods in SOAP adapter.

Any other inputs are welcome.

Many thanks

We have done the similar implementation:

ECC -> PI ->TIBCO -> Third Party system.

From ECC -> PI, we used both IDOC Packaging and Client ABAP Proxy

From PI -> TIBCO, as Neetesh mentioned in his reply, we used HTTP and SOAP adapter.

We have achieved both Aync via IDOC and Sync scenario via ABAP Proxy.

Hi,

Yes, someone has done this before

1. Which adapter can we use to integrate the 2 middlewares.

HTTP or SOAP can be used.

2. If anyone has used this before, are there any known issues

No issues as such, that I noticed. But do consider the security between the two systems, data size, Monitoring, Message processing etc.

3. Based on SDN search it is suggested to use SOAP adapter for PI TIBCO integration - can someone confirm if we can use both synchronous as well as asynchronous methods in SOAP adapter.

Yes, SOAP (& HTTP) is the most common adapter between these two middleware tools, for both async and sync processing.
