Fallback design for an IDOC interface

145 Views

Hi All,

We are going through design sessions for a new interface between SAP and a 3rd party for customer master data.

The 3rd party is the source and the interface will create or update customers through IDOCs.

I wanted to check what is the maximum throughput SAP PI can handle? In other words is there a limit to the number of IDOCs which can be processed through this interface? The interface needs to handle very high volumes (not sure of the exact number but could be in hundreds per day).

Also, I was asked by one of the client team members that how do we manage if SAP PI goes down?

I know that if SAP goes down, SAP PI will hold the messages in queue and we can reprocess them once system is up. But, not sure what can be done if the middleware goes down.

Just to add, I am an ABAP consultant so have limited knowledge in SAP PI. And we are waiting for our SAP PI lead to join the project.

Regards
