Synchronous XI Scenario in Real Time

[Former Member]

Hi,

We are having a scenario in which PDA devices would communicate to SAP systems through XI. PDA devicves would send a request and SAP responds back. This is a Synchronous scenario.

The interface is designed for operating personnel in warehouse who use PDAs for goods receipts. The volume of messages would be quite high and expected response would be fast and in real time.

We have defined PDA <-> XI Web Service <-> RFC at SAP end as the possible option for such interface.

XI gurus, kindly suggest if there could be any performance considerations in such a scenario.

Thanks,

Bhavish

Sync scenario always perform worse that an async scenario. But there r cases where sync scenario cant be avoided. Like in ur case where a response at sender is required.

U can have a control on the timeout parameters in case any message is failed at XI. The number of retries and their interval can be edited according to requirements

The XI hardware config ll largely affect the performance
