API

[Former Member]

Hi,

I have an existing interface where some API is being used from VB end to trigger an RFC in R/3. Although I dont have much information on this, wanted to check whether PI can be introduced. Can PI interact with API's of Visual Basic and C.

Regards

Hi Krish,

both, http and soap, should be supported by VB and C (and PI).

Hi Krish,

Of course PI can be used in this case, assuming that you can communicate with any of the standards operated by it from your VB code. For instance, you can generate a web service on PI, export a .wsdl file for it and implement it in you application, so that you can call the RFC indirectly - via PI. So the only thing you will do in your app is to call the web service, while PI will handle message mapping (if necessary), routing, calling the RFC and passing the response to your app again.
