Table synchronization

[Former Member]

Hi all,

I need to set up a daily table synchronization between our R/3 system and our Mainframe.

How would I do this the best way using XI?

We are using MQ to communicate with the Mainframe.

Thanks - /Thomas

At R3 u have the following options:

1. Activate change pointers which will trigger idoc.

2. Schedule execution of RFC to get the updated data

1st option is better coz it would be good if u make async communication.

For Mainframe, use JMS adapter of XI

Thanks - we are using proxy out of R/3 - is there any method for this "adaptor"?

Out of R3. I hope u mean client proxy

OK - Our proxy setup is running. But could as I se it, we cannot use the 2 ways of syncronizing that you suggest together with proxies?

Thanks - /Thomas

ABAP Proxy could be synchronous. But in ur case, u want data to be synchronized. So better to create 2 interfaces - one from R3 to Mainframe and other Mainframe to R3. Moreover, by default, JMS supports async communication

super.. could i use the IDoc changepointer method using proxy or is this only possible using the IDoc adaptor?

[prateek · Accepted solution]

Change pointers concept is usually for the Idoc scenarios with Idoc adapter.

Idoc itself does not save any data. Instead the R3 tables save the data. When u r using ABAP Proxy, it is better to directly update the tables instead of thinking about populating idoc.
