Landscape Design decision

[Former Member]

hi,

I have an query regarding the design decision.

There are 2 applications at the target (both serving different division) which would receive the master data from ECC via SAP PI.

Target structure for PI is identical for both the applications.

Now the question is should I have only 1 application to dump the data or should connect to both application using only 1 mapping and 2 different end points.

Hi,

You can create 1 mapping and in receiver determination add 2 business system ("target applications") without any condition.

You need to create two receiver agreement as well one for earch application.

PS: such question if very specific to PI should be posted in PI form.

Hi Gaurav,

Thanks for your reply but I am aware of this and it is not a PI technical question.

My question is more from a design perspective.

If you have 2 applications serving same business but different division and can accept similar structures, should we make separate end point connection with each or let one become HUB and it can share the data to with another server.

This way you reduce the end point connection with PI and reduce the development effort. Drawback is that it will introduce a point of failure for another server which will take data from the HUB.

Hi,

My advice would be to continue to use them as two separate application receiving same data from ECC via PI and PI will act as HUB, not the application (we should not use point to point async connection between application wherever possible).

If those two application resides on same physical machine and share physical infrastructure (DB, Memory etc) then you can make one application HUB otherwise avoid connecting application to application directly.
