Communicate Infotypes and Tables

[Former Member]

Hi All,

Is it possible to pull the data from SAP Tables(ECC6.0) and Infotypes(SAP HCM) through PI?

How to do ?

We are planing to pull the data from both systems . which one is better way to communicate infotypes/tables through IDOC/BAPI/Proxies?

Ofcourse these interfaces are asynchorous process and data not huge, hoping that IDOC is better way to use , but how to find standard IDOC which will hold all info type and field details?

If we go for proxies , is it possible for directly communicate table fields and infotyes?

sorry guyz, I am not a abaper, but try to do some ABAP developement here. But bit confused about how to handle here?

What is the best and faster way to develop ABAP side? Any links and weblogs and searching tips would help ....

Thanks for your time.

Shankar,

If it seems you need only to extract the data maintained in ECC tables and HCM then you can create the proxies for the same. Create the datatype for the fields you require to pull and then create the proxy in sproxy and then select the data from those tables and send to proxy. It should be very straight forward.

See some examples here:

Also to create proxies you need to do few settings. Check this blog for this:

Hi Shankar,

Infotypes store the data in strcutrues. Please see this help:

If this doesnot help then please try posting the same in SAP ECC HCM (HR) forums also:
