How to get IDoc Metadata and Structure without connection to sender

[Former Member]

Hello folks!

Is there any chance to receive and process an IDoc with PI without having loaded the IDoc

Metadata with a direct connection from the sending SAP System? Can't this be done by hand?

Or is it not possible to bypass the IDoc Adapter and send the Idoc via an RFC?

Thanks in advance

Hi,

but what is the issue ?

if you want to create IDOC in PI then I assume you want to send it to an SAP application system right ?

so just get the metadata from the receiver system (you can use any RFC in IDX1)

Hi!

The idea behind the question is the following:

Usually any NONE-SAP RFC-Server of an Integration Tool can receive IDocs just by

beein registered at the sending system. The way you get the metadata into the

receiving Integration tool is an complete different story an can be done by

manually or by doneload the metadata from the DDIC just one time by hand.

But with PI you need to connect to the sending SAP System directly

with idx1 and by importing the structure out of the Integration Builder, right?

yes...but you dont need to mandatorily load metadata (idx2)....there are some other steps also (other than IDX1) which need to be done before you connect to the SAP system for IDOC exchange.
