Portal to SAP ECC XI Scenarios

[Former Member]

Hi Guys,

I want to develop Synchronous XI scenarios from Enterprise Portal to SAP ECC. All scenarios will be triggered from Portals, will get information from SAP ECC and send it back to Portals, synchronously.

Is SOAP to RFC the only available type of communication that I have ?

What about performance ?

Thank you.

you should never use PI for connecting protal with ECC.

Why ?

Why you want to use PI?

Portal means a front-end application...in normal case the user will not be comfortable to wait to get a response back (portal --> pi --> some backend application).....hence it is recommended not to use PI (or other middleware) in between...unless you have a very strong reasonfor it.....have a Portal --> backend application config.

In a previous project many of the Portal scenarios were directly integrated with SAP ECC system.

Imagine you use google and then google inturns runs it search along other applications to give you the results....the wait time.
