Party to Party communication

Hi All ,

Can i define an internal system as party ?

Here goes details of my scenario -

1)Internal system ( SAP R/3 system part of land scape ) defined as Party

2)Communication party ( external system ) connect thru HTTP adapter .

What are the various ways of sending data from R/3 system to XI system ?

Do i need to configure any sender adapter ?

Cheers,

Nanda,

Party is used when you are going to deal with thired party and then in that case it becomes <b>B2B</b> scenario. For example you you sender system is EDI and Receiver system is XI then in this case you will use PARTY. And for this definetly you will requre a third party adapter like seaburger.

Generally the scenario we do is <b>A2A</b>, and therefore we use <b>System Without Party</b>.

I hope this will answere your first two questions.

Now, for sending the data from R/3 to XI, there are several ways like:

<b>1.</b> IDOC to File

<b>2.</b> Proxy to File (Outbound Proxy also called as client Proxy)

<b>3.</b> RFC to File

<b><Do i need to configure any sender adapter ?></b>

It again depends upon the scenario, in case of sender IDOC no need to configure the sender adapter since it resides on ABAP stack and hence no sender agreement also.

Hi Sarvesh ,

Thanks for the reponse .

I am aware of using Party in B2B scenarios . It is mentioned in my previous post that in our scenario we are communicating from SAP R/3 system in your land scape with a third party system ( out side system in land scape) .

You can create your enterprise as a party so in this case we need to go only with B2B scenario ( am i correct ) ?

Thanks,

You can define XI as your party since in any case R/3 will be sending the data to XI. So mintain a party identifier for XI system and use this Party as a virtual sender party.

hi,

<i>Can i define an internal system as party ?</i>

u dnt define a system as a party. rather u define a party representing a larger unit like organization. n then assign systems to that party. so in ur scenario u can definitely have two parties, ur organization n the other company.

<i>ways of sending data from R/3 system to XI system ?</i>

3 ways-- idoc, rfc and proxies (for WAS>= 6.20)

<i>Do i need to configure any sender adapter ?</i>

for idoc- no. for rfc -rfc adapter. for proxy-generally no--xi adapter (depends)

You can choose RFC if u have BAPI.

You can choose Proxy call If u Dont have the above 2 options in hand

different ways of sending data from r3 to xi:

1.idoc - idoc as sender not required to configure sender adapter

2.rfc/bapi - required

3.proxy - not required to conigure sender adapter
