earth 2v,

im new in this middlewarre business... so my answer is just based on what i knew..

The data exchange between the CRM Middleware and external systems is performed via adapters.

The adapters map and convert data between various formats.

The CRM Server Applications exchange data with the CRM Middleware via the CRM Adapter.

The data exchange via the CRM Middleware requires that an R/3 Plug-In is installed on SAP R/3.

In CRM, the R/3 Adapter communicates with the R/3 System via remote enabled functions of the R/3 Plug-In.

->On the R/3 side, you have to create an RFC Destination to the CRM system. Then activate CRM as consumer in table CRMCONSUM and maintain the table CRMRFCPAR. Through this table, the determination of the RFC destinations for the data transfer is connected with the consumer, client,object name and transfer type. For example, you can send data to a consumer in an initial download only, and not in a delta download.

->In the CRM system, you have to create an RFC Destination to the R/3 backend and a R/3 Site with the tool Administration Console. The R/3 Site references the RFC-Destination. Activate R/3 OLTP as consumer in table CRMSONSUM.

Hopefully this will help u.

overall my opinion is middleware is the teknologi for CRM to exchange data to other system and CRM still need RFC to define the destination of the connection.
