How to connect two PI servers.

[Former Member]

Hi

We have a requirement where we are implementing new PI .

What would be the best way to connect this PI layer with pre exsisting (Geo specific) PI layer?

Can we use proxies? If yes please let me know how?

Thanks,

Hitesh

yes, u can use XI proxy adapter to connect 2 PI systems.

for sending msg from first PI system to second PI system, do these activities in first PI system - in receiver XI comm channel, specify a RFC destination of type H and in SM59 create that type H connection to the second PI server giving target host as second PI system's hostname and path prefix as /sap/xi/engine?type=entry and other details. test connection to see if it is working. if the connection is working, then the configuration in ID will have the integration server of second PI system as the receiver business system having the above receiver XI comm channel, then your msg will reach to second PI system from first PI system.

for sending msg from second PI system to first PI system, do the above activities in second PI system.

Hi,

You would need connection in sm59 of PI1(the first PI system) pointing to PI2(the second PI system)....type H....this connection would be referred in the receiver XI channel.

Thanks and Regards,

Hi Hitesh,

The connection between these two PI boxes will vary as per requirement.

Still the best way to connect would be using XI adapter. As both of them are PI systems.
