Do we need Distribution model created/maintained in ECC for PI(JAVA Only Stack)

[former_member257758]

Hi Friends,

My scenarios is IDOC to File. We are using SAP PI 7.3 (Java Only Stack). I have gone through below forums to understand the connectivity setup for IDOC_AAE adpater.

http://scn.sap.com/docs/DOC-31398

http://scn.sap.com/docs/DOC-34155

But I have question regarding the distribution model (BD64) in ECC side. Do we need maintain distribution model (for IDOC) in ECC when we are using IDOC_AAE adapter?

I know that we need to create the distribution model (for the corresponding logical system,IDOC type,Message Type) when we were using PI dual Stack.

But in single stack  we will to create RFC destination with connection type TCP/IP with program ID (which was created in PI already) in ECC. I think ECC and PI will communicate through this Program ID If I am correct.

Can anyone let me know whether we need to have distribution model created in ECC for PI Java only stack?or No?. IDOC to file scenario will work without distribution model in ECC?

Appreciate your help.

Thanks

Hi Arun,

yes, you have to. There is no difference between dual and single PI stack (from a ECC view).

Hi Udo,

I have referred the link http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw73/helpdata/en/af/8b417ab6c54f75b049b7526804ce73/content.htm

But here they did not mentioned about BD64 related setup.

I think we need to follow the steps like below.

1. Create LS

2.RFC Connection with type T

3.Create Port(tRFC)

4.Create Partner Profile

5. Create Distribution Model (BD64) and generate partner profile. (I did not see anyone mentioned this step when they are working with PI Java Stack only)

Pls let me know whether it is correct or let me know the correct sequence of steps.

Thanks

Hi Arun,

Please go through this

"Configuring the Sender System to Process IDocs for AAE":http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw73/helpdata/en/af/8b417ab6c54f75b049b7526804ce73/content.htm

I hope this will be useful.

Hi Raja,

Thanks for the response. I have gone through the link you have provided. But nothing has mentioned about the BD64 setting.

They are creating the logical system using BD54 and they are going to WE20 to setup the partner profile(Either for Inbound/Outbound).

But they did not talk about BD64(Distribution model). Could you pls through some insight on this.

Appreciate your help.

Thanks
