Soap vs idoc

[Former Member]

Hi PI-experts

I'm going to make an interface where I'm going to get Exchangerates fra our national bank and so map it into an idoc. I have the URL to the bank.

Can somone tell me what kind of adapter to use and how to set up the Scenario.

I'm using PI 7.10.

thanks a lot for help.

Hi Perarne,

It seems that you're going to use a WS (SOAP Adapter) to get the exchange rates, but you need a trigger process to get them, usually this is achieved using the Receiver SOAP Adapter mapped to the Bank WS. You have to think wich one is going to be the triggering process, and after that you can use a BPM (to call the WS and map it to an Idoc).

Or a simple interface with a SOAP Lookup in the mapping program.

Juan.

Hi,

on SAP use IDOC EXCHANGE_RATE01 - as it's a standard one

on the bank use any apdater which is possible -

if you need to pull a file from the URL you cannot do it with SOAP adapter (not http)

so you can use java proxy

if bank can have a SOAP interface you can use the SOAP
