thanks in advance.

Hi Nitesh ,

Apart from all the suggestions provided above you have one more situation to consider that is whether the communication u wish is SYNC or ASYNC .

Usually for ASYNC u go for IDOC and SYNC RFC apart from other consideration like payload size performance etc mentioned above

Hi Amit i am using ASYNC communication.

Hi Nitesh ,

Then I think you should go for Idoc as it has better performance also

If it is R/3 >= 4.7 or ECC, you could also consider Abap Proxy, which is the best option in my opinion (in terms of design), <b>unless</b> your scenario is satisfied with a standard IDoc.

hi Nitesh,

When R/3 is receiver side then you go for IDOC adaptor. so that you can able to

track the data.

Hi Nitesh,

Through IDOC communication from R/3 side you can achive these...

1. Inbound or outbound IDOCs tracked in WE02 TCode.

2. Queue Processing possible.

3. Re-sending of data is possible.

ansar sorry to botthering u again is data track is not possible with RFC ..

Through Payloads you can track in XI... But in R/3 you can't RFC data.

in case of RFC you can monitor the message flow using the communication channel monitoring.

<i>3. Re-sending of data is possible.</i>

>>>

it is possible also in RFC scenarios.

[Shabarish_Nair]

You can use either of the same.

If you already have a IDoc in your R3 use the IDoc adapter else if you have a RFC already in your R3, use the RFC adapters.
