Import file to SAP system switch to SAP XI scenario

[Former Member]

Hi,

we have scenario: download data from 3rd party system to the file and later on import this file to the SAP EPR system.

What possiblity we have when we want to use SAP XI? Only create new RFC functions to be able upload files? Or it is possible to re-use currect program for upload file?

And reverse scenario? We download data to file from SAP ERP and later on import to 3rd party system. It is possible to re-use program used for download data?

Thanks a lot for ideas.

Hi,

Downloading data from the third party system to File system will be out of XI Job.that ur other team has to take care.

Coming to Xi

From the file system to SAP R/3 we can do using XI

File---XI-SAP R/3( Use IDOC/ RFC/ PRoxy)

In the other way also

SAP R/3( IDOC / RFC/ Proxy)--XI--File

Check this to choose the right adapter when dealing with the SAP R/3 Application

Hi Seshagiri,

thanks very much for your answer.

Second part of my question about possibility to re-use current program? Only to re-development to RFC?

Hi Roman,

Yes you can reuse the Data download program in this case we will be using file adapter to pull this file from sap and send to 3rd party .

SAP ( File ) -

---

XI -

---

3rd party

but the best solution would be write a TRfc code in the same program which can directly push data to XI , offcourse we use RFC Adapter .

SAP ( RFC ) -

---

XI -

---

3rd party

Hi Satish ,

thanks for replay, only to clarify your answer If I understood well:

In case of scenario SAP ERP -> File -> 3rd party:

• Use program to download file to File System (not integrated to SAP XI)

• File adapter - SAP XI

• import to 3rd party, SAP XI by e.g. JDBC adapter.

It was your idea?

And in case of scenario 3rd party -> File -> SAP ERP?
