publish a Rest JSON Service through SAP PO

[Former Member]

Hello:

We've some Rest Full JSON services, which will be published to be consumed for an external system.

We're discussing about the convenience of passing it throught SAP PO or consuming it directy.

If we pass it throught SAP PO, it implies an HTTP > XML > HTTP conversion, and it's possible that the performance may be affected.

What do you think about this scenario?.

Thanks in advance for your suggestions.

What is your PI version?

You can directly host the restful services form PI itself -

If the restful services are already available but you would like to use PI as a middleman instead of directly communicating with third party then that makes sense too.

You can make use of PI monitoring functionality to monitor the traffic along with Transformation capabilities if required.

>>> it's possible that the performance may be affected.

I don't think so but what is the avg message size that you are looking at?

Hello,

Our version is SAP PO 7.3 sp14.

Our scenario is the second, the restfull services are already available, and we are evaluating the use of PI as a middleware instead of directly comunication.

Transformation capabilities are not necesary.

We've not clear the advantages of passing it througth PO, only for monitoring purposes.

Not just monitoring but in future if the services has to be extended to multiple partner's then it would easy to do that using PO.
