How many software components should be defined?

[xinjiang_li]

Hi,gurus:

How many software components should be defined?What's the defination logic of the software component?Each SC each R/3 system?Or each SC each client?We can only import the idoc or RFC metedata from one client,so does that means we should define the software component by R/3 client?

Thanks in advance.

Hey,

>How many software components should be defined?

It is depends upon the Project, We can define a group as per the interacting Source/Target system.

>We can only import the idoc or RFC metedata from one client,so does that means we should define the software component by R/3 client?

If you have more interacting with SAP ECC you can go ahead and create seperate software component

Hi,Baladandapani ,

Thanks for your reply.

Could you tell me where we can define the group in PI7.0,does it means business group in SLD?

Another question:

If we have imported the RFC or idoc metadate from one R3 system in one software component,then can we import the metadate from the same R3 system in another software component?

I mean the Group as - number of interfaces/object interacting with the same Source/ Target system,

Yes,

Creation of SWCV should be based on the units that are present in the organization (like one for Finance, one for HR etc).

Inter-unit interfaces can be developed within a common SWCV.

Importing of RFC/ IDOC can happen from any R3 system as long as you give the proper system details in the SWCV page in IR....one which you get when you double-click the SWCV.

For more information you can refer page-9 of this document:

Hi,abhishek,

Thanks for your reply.

I have another question:Can we import RFC/IDOC from R/3 4.6?We have tested it,but it seems doesn't work.

Do we need to install some packages?

Hi,

I think it is good to have SWC on the basis of end systems.

I am sure this blog and the following thread will help:
