Hi

I think you can do for the scheduling.

Refer to my answer for detailed description

Thanks

Hi,

We can do it in the following ways

- With Abap proxies , as explained above , create a proxy as per your requirement and write a abap program and schedule it accordingly.

- Another way also if you are using sender side RFC adapter , and if you are using sp19 ,then i think we have channel scheduling , do it accordingly.. check it.

Hi RAMS,

U can achieve this by scheduling the job to run every 5 days in SM37.

Hi Santosh,

I am telling what i have done for this scenario.

IR Part

I created data type , messge type, message interface for inbound FTP

I imported the the RFC and, did message mapping and interface mapping. I didnt create message type and message interace for RFC as those are not needed. Am i correct upto this.

in SM57, i created a TCP/IP type of RFC Destination and a port.

Could you tell me am i in right track! What else is needed in IR part? and how to test this scenario,

Plz ignore ID part, It is easy for me, i can do it. if not i will post a question.

Thnx

Hi,

You dont require any port for sender RFC scenario. All you need is one RFC destination of type TCP/IP in transaction sm59. The program id you specify in the destination should match the one you specify in RFC sender channel. The rest of the configuration is like any other scenario.

Hi Ram,

If your scenario is R3 -- > XI -- > FILE .

My suggestion is to go for ABAP Client proxies. It is fast and we can move huge data .

1. Generate abap proxy from Outbound interface from R3system .

2. Write ABAP report , call RFC , fill TABLE structure of abap and send to XI ( IS) . then according to the Receiver determination . It will create flate file .

3. Schedule report once in 5 days .

Please refer how to work with abap client proxy and steps to activae

How do you activate ABAP Proxies?

Hi Ranga Rajan,

Thank you very much for your answer

Why we need to generate abap proxy from R3 system.? Could you please explain me in detail? What type of ABAP Proxy needed for this scenario.

What i have with me is , I have one function module readyly available, It will collect data from R3 and that data shold be posted to File via XI

am i clear! Please let me know if you need more info.

Thnx

Hi RAMS ,

<i> Why we need to generate abap proxy from R3 system.? Could you please explain me in detail? What type of ABAP Proxy needed for this scenario</i>.

If you go for abap proxies , It is directly interacting with Integration server . So, No Sender Adapter . No Sender Agreement needed .

Just you configure the receiver agreement and rever coomuncation channel (in your case File adapter )

So, it is fast and we can upload huge data also .

<i>What type of ABAP Proxy needed for this scenario.</i>

Client Proxies. Once you have designed your scenario in XI . Just come to r3 system . Use tcode SPROXY . All your interface will be listed down . Just click on the Outbound interface form your namespace .Click create . Done proxy generated.

This is an Asynchronous scenario. Just call This proxy inside the Report and fille the structure .Done. Execute the report . Data will fly

Please refer the links which i have referred earlier .

Hi,

Your scenario is RFC in the R/3 should send the data to XI once in five days. The best way is to schedule a job that will trigger this RFC once in every five days and configure RFC to File scenario in XI. The job in R/3 triggers the RFC and RFC sends the data to XI which inturn writes it to a file. Hope i am clear.

Hi RAMS,

<b>Why we need to generate abap proxy from R3 system.? Could you please explain me in detail? .</b>>>

U have to write a report program which will trigger the proxy...the proxy inturn will call ur Function module.

see the advantage of using proxy here is ..u can scedule the report as ur need.But using RFC i dont think u can.... u can do it using sm37 transaction...

Hi,

If i understood your question correctly it is a RFC->XI->File scenario. The RFC has to be triggered in R/3 once in five days and the data has to be posted in a file. To run RFC once in a five days i think you can schedule a job in R/3. If this is not the requirement, please elaborate your question.

Hi Sudheer, I am very much happy for your quick answer! Thanks alot!

yes, you are exaclty correct, Can XI Trigger a remote enabled functions module in R3 for every 5 days??

Can we schedule a job in R3 for triggering a Remote enabled function module?

My requiremnt is , XI should trigger a remote function module in R3 and get the data form R3 and post that data to FTP for every 5 days!

I hope, i am clear! Let me know if you need any further info.

Thnx
