Configuration steps to Trigger IDOC from R/3 to XI

[santosh_k3]

Hi All,

I have read several forums ,

and i am in confusion to follow which one of them.

Let me describe the process of configuration steps in r/3 and XI in step by step and correct me when i am wrong.

Steps in R/3

1) Goto SALE.

Basic settings->Logical Systems->Define logical system.

Create two logical systems(one for XI and the other for R3)

Basic settings->Logical Systems->Assign logical system to client.

Assign the R3 logical system to respective client.

Assign the XI logical system to respective client.

Whether i need to create logical sys name only for r/3 or both for r/3 and XI?

2)Goto SM59.

Create new RFC destination of type 3(Abap connection).

Give a suitable name and description.

Give the Ip address of the XI system.

Give the system number.

Give the gateway host name and gateway service (3300 + system number).

Go to the logon security tab.

Give the lang, client, username and password.

Test connection and remote logon.

Gateway service can be sapgw<sys number> or it should be 3300+sys number?

3)Goto WE21.

Create a port under transactional RFC.(R3->XI)

Designate the RFC destination created in prev step.

Port name should be in the form of SAP+SID of XI or it can be anyting?

4) Goto BD64.

Click on Create model view.

Add message type.

Is it necessary to create a Distribution model and distribute it ?

5) Goto WE20

Goto WE20.

Partner type LS.

Create a partner profile

Give the outbound or inbound message type based on the direction.

Steps in XI

1) Goto SALE.

Basic settings->Logical Systems->Define logical system.

Create one logical systems(only for R3)

Basic settings->Logical Systems->Assign logical system to client.

Assign the R3 logical system to respective client.

Whether i need to create once again logical sys name for r/3 ?

2) Goto SM59

Create new RFC destination of type 3(Abap connection).

Give a suitable name and description.

Give the Ip address of the XI system.

Give the system number.

Give the gateway host name and gateway service (3300 + system number).

Go to the logon security tab.

Give the lang, client, username and password.

Test connection and remote logon.

Gateway service can be sapgw<sys number> or it should be 3300+sys number?

3)Goto IDX1.

Create a port under transactional RFC.(XI->R3)

Designate the RFC destination created in prev step.

Port name should be in the form of SAP+SID of R3 or it can be anyting?

Step 4)Goto IDX2

Create a new Meta data.

Give the Idoc type.

Select the created port.

Is it neccessary to create a medata?

Let me know the answers for my questions.

Thanks

Yes both for r/3 and XI. THis will help both inbound and outbound interfaces.

Gateway service sapgw<sysnumber>

It is mandatory always. But I would recommend to do this.

Yes using IDX2 in XI
