Can one syclo server connect to multiple SAP backends?

Hi All,

I am working with SAP Service Manager application and the backend is SAP CRM.

As we all know that the backend system setting for syclo server needs to be maintained in the JavaBE.ini file

Suppose I have a requirement where one of my screen has to deal with a status update development and the backend in this case is ECC and not CRM.

Can I achieve this ? I mean can we configure the JavaBE.ini file to connect the multiple SAP backend ? If yes please explain the process/steps to do so.

Thanks and Regards

Neha,

Yes, you can configure your application to access multiple backends.  Depedng on your requirement it may be better to have CRM interface with ECC for you via standard SAP intergration mechanisms.  However, if you want you can setup a second Java System connection in your application which will then use a JavaBE2.ini (or whatever name you give it) to contain the connection details for the ECC system.  You will then have to setup the necessary Java Steps / Steplets against this new backend and configure the transactions to call the appropriate update steps.

Thanks Bill,

As I understand , Going with Standard SAP Integration mechanism means to have connection with CRM system and ECC system can be called internally from CRM via RFC's . Is my understanding correct here ? This can be done If we create a FC in CRM and internally call ECC FC via RFC.

Also I shall try the second approach too. However I have a question here.

Suppose I create a new JavaBE2.ini file and configure it for ECC.

Later when I create java steps will it automatically detect that which SAP system it should connect to? I cannot explicitly tell the Java step to call the ECC system , Can I ?

Please advise.

Thanks

Neha,

When you create a step, you specify what type of step and also which System connection it applies to.  This allows you to control which java backend the step will be executed against.

I will have to defer to others on connecting ECC and CRM using standard mechanisms as I am not familiar enough with the specifics.

Hello Neha , As per my knowledge you can only connect to CRM server . but as per your requirement crm server can internally call ERP server with RFC. because crm server use ecc datas . Thanks & Regards, Kunal Varaiya
