XML files from PIMS to R3 using PI7.1

[Former Member]

Hello experts,

One scenario i am trying to implement.

Some XML files are in PIMS system, i need to pick those files from PIMS and need to push in SAP R3 system as XML files only via PI 7.1.

Is it possible to use adapters Sender as FILE and Receiver as HTTP?.

if not what adapters i can choose?

Please suggest me.

Thanks.

HI,

To post data to ECC ,you have 3 options IDOC,RFC,Proxy

Since you require to design an asynchronous interface. go with either IDOC or Proxy .

At ECC end for this requirement if they have any standard IDOC available then go with IDOC.

For IDOC you need to perform ALE setup between ECC to PI .

If std IDOC ws not available then go with proxy.

Advantages with proxy are :can able to huge payload and performance wise good when compared to IDOC.

Now for proxy communication you have 2 ways .

1)File to XI -->Message flows via integration .though performance wise not that great when compared to the below;but since it flows via IE .You can monitor the message in sxmb_moni.For error handling wise it is good and easy way to track when compared to monitoring in RWB.

For this you need perform some configs .Creating RFC dest of type H....Please go through the below link for the same.

2)File to SOAP -->This is using AAE by passes IE.performance will be good.

For this you need perform some configs .Creating RFC dest of type G...Please go through the below link for the same.

Based on your requirement .You decide...

Hi,

your scenario can be File - IDoc/RFC/Proxy..

if the data you are going to send to ECC is standard then check for the existing IDocs /RFC's in ECC so that you can reuse them..

Hi Rajesh,

This scenario is A2A based, so these settings remain same???..

Do i choose in service Interface Attributes catergore as "Inbound"??.

As receiver is r3, only 3 possibility, 1. idoc 2. proxy 3.Soap/XI

So go for soap/xi

Thanks or your reply.

If i use XI adapter and

Addressing Type:HTTP Destination

HTTP Destination: <G-Type Http connection>

will this work?

is it sure XI adapter will send XML file?

Hi,

Use HTTP Destination of type H..will work..
