.net and MII Integration

Former Member

Hi,

I am looking for how MII can be integrated with .net, I have searched for posts and I found some useful information but they only talk about consuming web services from MII, Can anyone guide me how .net data can be retrieved or consumed by MII . The scenario is something like this " ERP-MII-.NET- MES" so data flow should be Downstream and Upstream.

Thanks,

Raveen

Hi ,

If there is a database in between, both MII and .net application can speak via that database.

Hello Raveen,

An approach would be exposing the data from .NET as a webservice and consume in MII using webservice action block.

Raveen,

The webservice connectivity of MII allows any query or transaction to be invoked as a webservice. So upstream or downstream only depends upon your transaction/query in MII.

Thanks all for your valuable suggestions, are there any examples on SDN relating to this Integration.

@Mike, Mussarat : as I told if .net is holding the data about Quantity produced,Quantity consumed, Quantity scrapped and all process related data, this must be exposed as a web service and than it can be consumed by MII, am I right here and then MII will send these confirmations back to ERP.

I also heard about B2MML some where on MII Blogs which designed for these kind of scenarios where web services are used, do you see any benefit of using them.

Thanks,

Hi Raveen,

I would think that you could turn that around and use .net to call MII as a webservice, passing the quantities and then having MII execute the BAPI calls to update the ECC system.

From my perspective, B2MML is simply another xml format. If you desire to have a common data structure for your environment, you can use B2MML or any of several other formats. Once the data is in MII and is going to be passed to an SAP BAPI, there is little benefit for using it internally. The BAPI that you will be using is not based on the B2MML structure.
