Decision making on using proxy communication

[Former Member]

Hi gurus,

We need to decide, if we should use proxy communication(sap>PI>Legacy) in realtime scenarios over file based communication(sap>file adapter>PI>file adapterLegacy) & also in comparison with RFC/IDOC adapters.

Infact, most of the times it is situational, but, we need responses from all of you in general terms.

Please respond with your suggestions/links supporting your views.

More replies helps us to decide on this matter.

Note:- we are on ECC 6.0/PI 7.1. Thank you.

Cheers.

When you integrating with SAP with other System, best way to trasfer and receive data in to SAP is Proxy,then IDoc , last RFC.

search in sdn, you will find blogs and discusions on the same topic.

hi, Raja is right about he is saying, but take in mind the use of AAE. you could receiver your data from SAP vía RFC and connect to a legacy system ussing any other java adapter (JDBC,FILE,SOAP,JMS,etc) so the performance will be better than the traditional interface configuration.

consider it before decide. /people/udo.paltzer/blog/2008/11/03/real-life-customer-examples-for-high-volume-scenarios-with-sap-netweaver-process-integration

You should use the proxy over file based communication because proxy communication is faster and easy for error handling.

RFC & IDOC have their own importance. For exaple if you have standard RFC & IDOCs then there is no meaning to got for custom developement.. and again if your requirement says to do some custom developement then you have to do that.. so everyting depends on your requirement.
