Gateway Host and Gateway Service

[Former Member]

Hi, well i have an external EDI-Server which i have to send some IDocs to.

Therefore on the EDI-Server runs a daemon which checks if IDocs are coming in. The EDI-Admin now gave me the order to create a TCP/IP Connection in SM59 with a registered server program which in my understanding seems to be the damon process of the EDI-Server.

Now what are the parameters for Gateway-Service and Gateway-Server? Are these the ones from SMGW concerning my XI-Machine?!

Actually i didn't get the point on how the daemon-process on the other machine is getting the info that an IDoc in arriving at the EDI-Server?!

How are Gateway-Service and Gateway-Server are involveld and what are there functions in this RFC-Connection?!

<i>Now what are the parameters for Gateway-Service and Gateway-Server?</i>

Gateway host - ur application host

Gateway service - it would be sapgw<System No>

<i>Are these the ones from SMGW concerning my XI-Machine?!</i>

Yes

SMGW -> GoTo -> Parameters -> Display

Gateway hostname : <HostName>

Gateway service : <Service>

Hi Shabarish,

wel in this blog it is mentioned:

<i>3. The RFC destination - Trouble trouble and loads of trouble !!

a. Make sure that the RFC destination is to be created in the R3 systems and not XI.</i>

I thought i have to do it in XI because of routing the outgoing IDoc?!

And i have some other questions: the admin need a librfc32.dll from the SAP-CDs. Well now i am confused because the XI is running on a Linux EP 10.0

Can we easily connect the systems?!

thx for help!

that is mainly intended for a RFC scenario.

i dont see any problem with it. Even my XI server is installed on a Linux system.
