Online data transfer from R/3 to XI

[Former Member]

Dear Friends,

My Best go out to You and Your family for a Happy and prosperous New Year-2010.

What is the mechanism for sending the data From R/3 to XI online.

It means when ever the file is created in R/3 the same file has go to XI online.

Hi Shalini,

>What is the mechanism for sending the data From R/3 to XI online.

There are many ways to do that. You have to choose best one that suits your business requirement. If there is some standard IDOC/RFC, go for it. Otherwise,proxy can be considered if WAS > 6.2. Generally proxy is preferred for huge amount of data transfer. There are more technical factors related to performance and error handling capability while choosing the solution. Refer to /people/ravikumar.allampallam/blog/2005/08/14/choose-the-right-adapter-to-integrate-with-sap-systems for more details.

You can choose file adapter for polling files at different interval. Polling interval should be decided properly, otherwise it may hamper the performance if kept too low.

There are many ways to connect R3 and PI e.g. Idocs, RFC, Proxies. You may use file adapter too but it should be avoided if you have possibilities of the ones I mentioned before. There exist many types of solution for real time data transfer. What is your requirement? e.g. if it is master data change, you may activate change pointers in R3 to send the idocs to PI as soom as there is some change at R3.

Why do u want to use files between R/3 and XI? Why can't you use ABAP proxies (XML based) communication between the two systems??

Dear Siva,

Thank You for the suggestion,

Right now I am working on ABAP Proxy.

Hi,

If this file is relatively small then use an outbound file adapter to the application to pull the file into PI - does the file still have to exist on the application server once it has been sent to PI ??

If so, have another inbound file adapter to the application to write the file back again in read only mode - this will ensure it is not picked up again.

There are always many ways to interface design so you should pick the method most suitable to your actual requirements.
