Using XI between EP and R/3

Former Member

Hi All,

I have a requirement. I have made a solution in which I am passing data to R/3 from EP using JCos.

Now, I want to make my application more SOA oriented or independent.

I want tht application should work even if the backend is non-SAP. To make a test prototype for this i want to use XI as a mediator between EP and R/3.

I have a WD form from which data has to go to R/3's RFC.

Please suggest me possible ways for communication. What should I use JMS, Web Services?

Regards,

Sumit

1. Ur WD application may act as the HTTP client and u may transfer the data using HTTP adapter.

2. If u have some specific SOAP header requirement, then go for SOAP adapter.

HTTP clients are freely downloadable even on sdn. U may just copy that code in ur application and u r done. Some parameters can be hardcoded in code if required.

Hi All,

Let me refine my question more.

My actual purpose is to loose couple the EP and R/3 bonding in my scenario.

So that later if my solution is used by a client who has another ERP system. He/she can easily use it with minimal changes.

PLease reply!

Hi Sumit,

You can always expose the outbound MI as a webservice and design a simple Webservice client based on the WSDL generated from XI. We have implemented few such scenarios.
