Non R/3 <-> R3

[Former Member]

Hi all.

Is it real to organize synchronous data exchange process between non R3 and R3 systems via XI? ( External application (java, asp, other) send request to XI, XI call FM in R3 and return data set to external application ) And advise easy way (wich connectors, form of ext. application), if it's real.

Privet Andrej,

yes as previously explained it can. But be very careful with sync scenarios. These are not recommended for such exchanges which will end up doing a DB update on the receiver system which is vital for a business process. It is much less reliable than async and will be more difficult to track from the troubleshooting point of view.

So, if you can, try async.

Kind regards,

Hey,

scenarios like that are exactly what XI was intended for.

You can always use web standards, like http post, web services, etc. Or if you have an java api, you can go for java proxy.
