Outbound and Inbound Proxy RFC connection settings

[abhay_aggarwal]

Hi Experts,

I am working java single stack SOAP to PROXY syn scenario.

I did the configuration for RFC PI_AAE and SAP_PROXY_ESR type G. Apart from these configuration Do I need to configure any other RFC also.

I need one confirmation on inbound proxy RFC settings do we need to configure RFC connection incase of inbound proxy.

Hi Abhay

Yes for sender proxy you need RFC PI_AAE and SAP_PROXY_ESR.

For receiver proxy you do not need any RFC connection. Only in the receiver communication channel you need to provide the URL.

Thanks Harald and Indrajit for reply.

Could you pls confirm incase of inbound proxy we need only one http type RFC in PI box itself which should point to ECC side?

For receiver proxy you do not need any RFC connection. Only in the receiver communication channel you need to provide the URL

I have given address type parameter=HttpDestination

Hello Abhay,

I confirm this. You actually only need the SAP_PROXY_ESR RFC connection which is used by the backend system to read the ESR information.

For a receiver proxy you need to provide the following URL in the Receiver CC:

http://<Backend hostname>:8000/sap/xi/engine?type=entry

Thanks Harald for confirmation..

I was getting the below error in when I was sending the message from PI to ECC

HttpException: Unable to contact target server ecc server

so in this case I need to check SAP_PROXY_ESR connection or something in PI.

Was the connection test in SM59 on ECC side successful? If yes, did you also activate the XI service on ECC via tx SICF?

Hi Abhay

for inbound proxy you need to use SOAP adapter with HTTP protocol.

Hi Harald,

No SAP_PROXY_ESR was throwing the error does it mean because of this messages got failed in PI. but as you have mention that SAP_PROXY_ESR is used for only backend system to read the ESR information.

Yes, but the connection needs to work. Check if the PI system can be reached technically from ECC and if the user used for the SM59 connection is working properly.

Hi Abhay,

You only need the 2 RFC connections as you mentioned. That's it.

However you also should set up the SLD settings via SLDAPICUST and RZ70. And you should setup the integration engine via SXMB_ADMIN on the backend systems.

Best Regards
