Can we Reuse Port, Partner Profile and other entries at SAP Side for upgrading to PO 7.4

[Former Member]

Hi Experts,

We are upgrading our PI system from 7.11 to PO 7.4. Now it seems Sender side IDoc_AAE configuration will be a challenge as we have huge number of IDoc interfaces.

My question is, if we create New 'T' type RFC, can we update the existing Port (WE21) with this new RFC connection?

if YES then do we need any additional changes to existing Partner Profiles, Logical system and Distribution Models or anywhere else?

Wanted to check if we could minimize the SAP side effort.

Regards,

Nayan.

Thanks Vikrant.

Can anyone provide some more details about Pros and Cons?

Nayan I don't see any Cons as such but definitely pros side you will save time.

Also I don't see any value of creating new LS, PP if you want to use same, apart from RFC.

Hello,

If I am not wrong for IDOC_AAE adapter we need to create new RFC and port atleast,check the below document

Hi Raghu,

Thanks for the reply. But this document is saying the same what I could find in other documents.

b) Configurations at the Sender System (SAP ECC)

1) Create RFC Destination

2) Create Port

3) Create Logical System

4) Create Partner Profile

I did not see anything new other than replacing ABAP type connection with T Type RFC Connection at the SAP side. Not sure why we need to recreate everything from scratch.

If I just change the RFC Connection name at WE21 in the existing Port and keep everything same (LS, Partner Profiles), will it work?

Nayan.

Hello Nayan,

If your not going to use the the old configurations anymore you can do that way.

You can take screenshots of existing configuration for reference in case if something goes wrong.

Thanks Raghu. It seems we can reuse existing IDoc configurations for AAE.

Close the thread Nayan if your query is addressed.

Hi Aamir,

I was mainly looking for SAP side configuration, not PO/PI side and my question was other than creating new RFC Connection type T, can we reuse Port, Partner Profiles, Logical Systems and Distribution Model with IDoc_AAE adapter.

Otherwise we have to recreate all the configurations separate for IDoc_AAE communication.

Nayan.
