Sending data to ecc from CPI without Cloud connector or web dispatcher

[ramki0304]

Hi experts,

I have a requirment to fetch the To-do list of an employee whose status pending in SF and to update in Ecc.

Requirment as follows below:

1.Sap Ecc will send an employee id to CPI and CPI need to check the employee status in SF and if status is pending need to fetch to-do list and update in ecc.

We have created an Outbound Idoc and created partner profile and RFC destination to connect CPI. Now we are able to pass Employee id through Idoc to CPI and from CPI we are connecting to Successfactors through SF adapter and able to fetch to-do list of an employee by using query.

Now the issue is while trying to post data to Ecc we are getting an error host not found.Because webdespatcher setup is not configured. Is there any way to send data to Ecc from CPI without Web dispatcher or Cloud connector.

Please Suggest.

Thanks and Regards,

R.Ramkishore

Hi Ramkishore,

As Praveen mentioned, you need to make the backend system available from Internet. The recommended way is SAP cloud connector or a reverse proxy, see the online help

Connectivity via Reverse Proxy.

Hi Ramkishore,

For Inbound connections if your on-premise(ECC) systems are exposed to access over internet then you won't require web-dispatcher or Cloud connector.

Ideally no customer exposes this over internet for security reasons. If your network team allows to connect ECC systems over internet then you could access it as required.

Hope this answers this question.

thanks and regards,
