XI & BW integration

[Former Member]

would you recommend to write a file from XI and be picked from BW or use a proxty from XI direct to XI

what are the pros ? what exra effort is there to change the current process from file upload to proxy?

Hi Udi,

Better go for server side proxies in BW...

HI,

It depends on the scenario. If you want to upload the data from file system to BW <b>thru XI</b>, then you can go for Proxy in the BW side.

what exra effort is there to change the current process from file upload to proxy?</i>

>>>If you have ABAP knowledge to write a code in the proxy method then it will not be a big problem.

But before going for proxy , consider the current process i.e interms of no of interfaces , volume etc.

The advantage of Proxy is , if you want you can make synchronous call, and it communicates natively.

Have a look into this~

Udi-

If you are writing a file ,then you cannot control the order of processing(Say multiple files are sent from XI to BW with in a short span of time),but when you use a proxy its controlled automatically. The effort in building a proxy is not much(i mean communication wise)but you need to parse the Interface that is passed to BW and update your cubes,datasources etc.

Thanks
