Proxy for non sap

[Former Member]

Dear All,

Do we have to use proxies for all applications (Both SAP and Non-SAP) running on WAS 6.20 and above to talk to xi?

Hi Ashish,

no proxies are not mandatory, neither for SAP nor non-SAP applications. For example you could use a file adapter to pick up flatfiles from a non-SAP application via ftp or you could use Idoc communication for SAP systems. All this includes also the possibilities of proxies but it is really depends on your project requirements.

Hope that helps, if not we will try to clarify it more

So can a non-sap application existing on WAS 6.20 or above communicate with XI using proxies or is it only SAP systems that can use proxies for communication with XI?

Yes Ashish , you can create proxy(JAVA not ABAP) for non-sap application existing on WAS 6.20 or above.

But again proxy creation or not depends on project requirement.Its not necessary that if business has WAS6.20 or above then all interfaces going to be in proxy.

For SAP (Proxy) --> To --> File (adapter) scenario: Don't we have to do message mapping, interface mapping steps?

also

When I try to create proxy for the interface defined in XI using sproxy in IR, by right clicking on the Outbound interface, it asks me for inputing the Package name???

Please advice...

You can connect a WAS 6.20 with proxy, IDOC and RFC. Use existing interfaces. When you have to develop new interfaces, it is recommended to use proxies.

Hi Ashish,

It might also depend on the application that is going to communicate.

If that application can consume webservices then it is easy to go for SOAP adapter.

If you have the entire input as XML in the application you can even use something similar to HTTP in your java code.

Proxies are easy to develop and use. That way you can use them.
