ABAP Proxy

[Former Member]

Hello everybody,

I have the next problem, I need to send data from one R/3 to another via SAP XI, the problem is that I can't use an Outbound ABAP Proxy to send the data, what other solution should you suggest? I mean instead of using a Outbound ABAP Proxy in the sender system what other solution can I use, and RFC?, thanks in advance.

Hi Julio

configuration done for sending data from R/3 (by RFC)

1. Create an RFM, report (from which this RFM is executed in background)

can take help of -->/people/swaroopa.vishwanath/blog/2006/12/28/send-rfc-to-sap-xi-150-asynchronous

2.create RFC destination as per the blog

/people/michal.krawczyk2/blog/2005/03/29/configuring-the-sender-rfc-adapter--step-by-step

3.Import RFc in IR

4.then do the corresponding mapping n all

for further troubleshooting , u can find many post in sdn,

Thanks everyone for your answers, they were really helpful, I using now RFC communication, but I have another question the CALL FUNCTION DESTINATION in the ABAP code is working fine but the problem is that I need them to be Asynchronous cause is a big amount of records so I don't want to wait for this to be processed beacuse of performance matters, so I've been using the STARTING NEW TASK, but it dumps cause the STARTING NEW TASK extra for the call function sentence doesn't support TCP/IP RFC in the destination extra, has anyone faced this problem?

Ruiz,

u can send data from R/3 to XI using 3 ways

1)Proxy

2)Idoc and

3) RFC

each is having own advantage and disadvantages....

see here...when u should go for proxy,when u should go for RFC and when u should go for IDOC,

/people/ravikumar.allampallam/blog/2005/08/14/choose-the-right-adapter-to-integrate-with-sap-systems

as everybody said....just see wheather u can go for standerd idoc or not..if yes...go ahead with IDoc...

Its better not to go with cutom Idoc..because it will take lots of overhead....

Go for RFC if no standard idoc resembles ur message structure...

u can see that....may get some clue...

IDoc to RFC

Thanks very much for your answers, so I've read the blogs I just would like to tell you what I understood and you please tell me if it's correct, I need this scenario:

R/3 Sender System->XI->RFC Receiver System,

so I need to configure in SM59 a TCP/IP RFC with a program id in the Sender system(here I have a doubt I've read in one of the blogs that it should be the application system in the gateway options, this mean that gateway options should be host and service of the R/3 receiver system??? but I need the RFC goes through XI can you tell me about this please??), then I do the import of the RFC(the RFC that does actual business process) from Receiver System in the IR, then I do all the design and the configuration and in the RFC Sender Comunnication Channel my program id should match in case sensitive the name of the program Id in the TCP/IP RFC in Sender System, then now in the R/3 sender system I can do the CALL FUNCTION ABAP code lines to the RFC in Reciever System destination parameter as the TCP/IP RFC in Sernder System, is this correct????, thanks.

Ok, but I've never used an RFC Sender, how does it work? I mean does an RFC should be developed in Integration Server that makes the call to the RFC Receiver?? or it is managed as an interface bye the import step?? and by the call from the sender system and configuring the receiver determination and that stuff it would be managed as and interface, I've never used an RFC Sender so I'm a little lost, thanks for your fasta answers.

If you have standard RFC you need to import the metadata like idoc before using..even you can create customised RFC for same..n import interface in XI.

and by the call from the sender system and configuring the receiver determination and that stuff it would be managed as and interface,

Check out the Michals blog above..will get better idea.

Let us know if you need more details.

Hi,

If the Standard IDOC available go for it else RFC will help you. If l you want to send the data other than IDOC and RFC then try to generate a file with the help of report and pass the file to XI.

Hi Julio,

First check if you have any standard idoc for SAP data. If any standard idoc is available then go with Idoc-idoc scenario.

If you do not have standard idoc, check if any RFC exist.

Meanwhile why you cannot used ABAP proxys?

If you have any message types you can use IDOCs or you can go ahead with RFCs
