Consume PI services and develop Mobile applicataions

[Former Member]

Hello experts ,

Can you please let me understand the possibilities to consume the PI web services (Backend ECC) to develop mobile applications from the PI services.

And are there any possibilities to generate PI services from RFC / Function Modules ?

Hi Micheal,

The easiest way is to do a SOAP -RFC scenario in your case. You can expose the PI middleware with the SOAP connectivity, easy way to consume a PI scenario. In the PI receiver you can use a RFC adapter, then the PI is like a wrapper to the sender mobile application that it will ignore if the receiver is a RFC or another connectivity, it will consume a usual SOAP service.

And are there any possibilities to generate PI services from RFC / Function Modules ?

Yes, like i mentioned the RFC will be wrapped. Also, you can avoid the PI and to generate the WSDL structure directly in the ECC system, but i think it is better to use a middleware like PI.
