Is it necessary to create RFC port when I am sending IDOCS to XI? If no then under what circumstances do we need to create a RFC port. Why do we need to create the distribution model through SALE transaction.

While sending idocs, port creation in tcode we21 is a must.

Technically speaking, distributiton model model allows u to create the logical systems, partner profile etc automatically. Hence it provides the message flow between two logical systems

Hi Sonia,

If you are sending IDocs to XI ....

1. You need to maintain a Partner profile for XI in your R3 system using transaction we20.....

2. Now the message type of that IDoc will be listed in the Outbound table of the partner profile.

3.Now the port that entry of messsage type will be using --- should be configured in we21

4. The RFC destination that port will be using should be created using transaction sm59

You dont need to configure any ALE settings at the XI side....

hey

when ur sending IDOC's from R/3 to XI you do need to create a port(WE21),no settings are required on XI side though.

when ur sending IDOC's from XI to R/3 then u do need to have port on XI server(IDX1).

Thanx
