PI inbound proxy

[Former Member]

Dear All,

We are planning build one proxy to recieve the file from thirdy party to SAP though PI system . So I have couple of questions in this regard.

1) How is this proxy in ABAP side trigger to run ? Do we need to schedule any background job run this in ECC side or PI will trigger the program to run ?

2) Can we put the files in apllication server using ABAP inbound proxy ?

3) Can we include selection screens to the inbound ABAP proxy program ?

4) Is there any options in proxy to handle DATA errors in the file ( Like in IDoc we can see 51 status if any failure and we can reprocess )

5) Can emails sent from proxy for any processing errors and data mismatch ( send and receive ) .

6) How can we monitor and reprocess the proxy ( sxmb_mony ? any )

Thanks all,

Vinay.

Hi Vinay,

1) How is this proxy in ABAP side trigger to run ? Do we need to schedule any background job run this in ECC side or PI will trigger the program to run ?

Ans: When your File Communication channel picks a file, a process will start and once the message has been transformed in PI, PI will automaticall trigger the inbound Proxy.

2) Can we put the files in apllication server using ABAP inbound proxy ?

Ans: What do you mean by this? Are asking if the ABAP inbound proxy can save the message as a file in the application server? If yes, it is possible. You just need to modify the implemented class of your Inbound proxy to save a file in the app server.

3) Can we include selection screens to the inbound ABAP proxy program ?

Ans: Yes, you may add codes in your implemented class to call and use a selection screen.

4) Is there any options in proxy to handle DATA errors in the file ( Like in IDoc we can see 51 status if any failure and we can reprocess )

Ans: Yes, you may validate the incoming message of your inbound proxy and apply exception handling if error occured.

5) Can emails sent from proxy for any processing errors and data mismatch ( send and receive ) .

Ans: I think this is possible in ABAP coding. But if you wanted to send notification emails when transformation error occurs during mapping, you can do it using Alert Configuration.

6) How can we monitor and reprocess the proxy ( sxmb_mony ? any )

Ans: Since your scenario is File to ABAP proxy, the only way to reprocess is to send/place another file on the source directory to trigger the inbound proxy.

Let me know if this helps.

Jenny

Hi Vinay,

Your' is file to proxy scenario...ryt?..If so

>>>>1) How is this proxy in ABAP side trigger to run ? Do we need to schedule any background job run this in ECC side or PI will trigger the program to run ?

Ans: In file to proxy scenario, depending on the poll interval the FTP server willl be pinged and the file will be picked. Whenever your file is picked the respective server proxy will be triggered automatically.

>>>>>I4) Is there any options in proxy to handle DATA errors in the file ( Like in IDoc we can see 51 status if any failure and we can reprocess )

Ans: Through exception handling you can handle system errors as well as application(DATA) errors.

>>>>>5) Can emails sent from proxy for any processing errors and data mismatch ( send and receive ) .

Ans:Through Alerts you can send mails

>>>>6) How can we monitor and reprocess the proxy ( sxmb_mony ? any )

Yes
