How To make Process integration an error free ?

Hi Experts,

How to make Process integration an error free ? I mean to reduce the errors in PI. Is there any suggestions or precautions to take?

Thanks

Hi,

It will be  difficult to to make any system error free. However its always better to be aware of  the SAP  best practices and try to adopt it in your customized environment.

I have listed down few of the SAP PI best practices for your reference.

Hi,

1. get a good consultant in the first place - to design best practices,

2. get good consultants later on who will be doing the development and operations support

3. make sure all error points can be monitored and errors solved (also very important and not very trivial as there are many failure points in typical pi scenarios)

Where do we find someone like points 1 and 2 Michal!?

Good points, in addition, maybe continuous improvement program to review which interfaces are causing problems. Applying countermeasures over time, tracking improvements in reliability. I like to apply 6 sigma metrics to our system each month. Though it takes time, it is really useful to review systems like this. It starts with defining what you consider an error. For example, if an error resolves itself through retries, is it really an error? If an error is due to poorly validated data from source system, does it constitute a PI error?
