Communication of XI with two different networks

[Former Member]

I am new to XI.I have a scenario where I need to send message from R/3 to third party system which is on different LAN.XI server and R/3 are on same LAN.Can you please help me regarding the same.Do I require PCK in this case or can this be done using SOAP ADAPTER.

Sheetal,

The real issue is not about different LANs, but are these two LANs accessable?

If they are accessible then give their IP and access direclty (or) modify the hosts file to access that ip by name. If they are not accessible then, even a PCK may not help you.

You can consult your network team regarding the accessability of LANs because I have no idea how LAN is configured there.

Hi Sheetal,

<i>Do I require PCK in this case or can this be done using SOAP ADAPTER</i>

What is ur third party system??????No PCK required. You can use HTTP adapter as well depending on ur receiving system.

Hi Rashmi,

Its a .Net Application.As per my Knowledge This could have been solved if both XI and .NetApplication were on same LAN.here the problem is server is on separate LAN and .NetApplication is on diff LAN.If this could have been done thr http can u please tell me how.Or is it possible thr SOAP.What is the use of PCK??

Hi,

You should be able to use SOAP adapter. I am assuming the .net application will be calling the webservice for consuming the data from R3. But please consult with ur network perimeter team. Usually what they will do is create holes(ports) in the two networks and hence when a call from eihier of the networks is patched through to the other using the hole in the network.

with this approach u dont have to any thing special. jsut do ur regular configuratio in XI, generetate the webservice.

Hi Sheetal,

<b>>>Its a .Net Application.As per my Knowledge</b>

ok..

<b>>>the problem is server is on separate LAN and .NetApplication is on diff LAN.If this could have been done thr http can u please tell me how.Or is it possible thr SOAP</b>

Go for SOAP receiver Adapter..

<b>>>What is the use of PCK??</b>

By using PCK your XI will connect to PCK (small XI server) and the latter will be used for communicating with the receiver system.
