IDX1 : Is it necessary for SOAP -> XI -> RFC?

23 Views

hi,

I have designed an integration scenario in which my web application will send request using SOAP over HTTP protocol. The XI system will host a web service and by generating the WSDL i will generate the proxy class using which I will comunicate with XI system. There will be sender type SOAP adapter between My WebAPP and XI. I will send request through Outbound interface.

Further the Request will pass to SAP CE8 system from XI system and communication will be through RFC(BAPI) using RFC adapter and Inbound interface.

My Questions are :

1. I have configured RFC destination on CE8 using SM59 transaction. Do i need to configure on XI system an rfc destination using IDX1?(I will use BAPI request/response only).

2. In integration scenario there are two interfaces

My WebAPP -- Outbound Interface(Custom defined) -- XI

XI -- Inbound interface(RFC)

since this is a synchronous communication i think i just need these two interface. Right?

On Custom defined side, two message will be there 1 each for request and response.

On BAPI side, BAPI and BAPI.response will be used. Is my approach correct?

3. When specifying the technical system landscape i was asked to mention System and Host information for my technical system. What are these and how I can obtain them?

P.S. As I have sdn blogs + forums + sap help portal on my disposal ... can anyone suggest something free over the internet ?

Thanks in advance...
