ERP to MII connection via PI

192 Views

Experts

We have a situation where a customer would like to route IDocs from SAP ERP to MII via PI, including RFCs in the reverse case, for monitoring purposes. However, MII is the target system.

1) Can we route IDOCs MATMAS, BOMMAT, LOIPRO, CLFMAS via PI with no problem?

2) How hard is it to build RFC calls with PI being in the middle? Can PI provide RFC interfaces just like when calling ERP directly?

3) Is there advantages other than additional monitoring / buffering capabilities?

4) Does this additional middleware affect process reliability or performance? Do we need to consider impact on a-/synchronous processes?

5) Am I missing important aspects?

I am aware that MII vs. PI has undergone a lot of discussion already, however, this is a different aspect that (so I hope) has not been discussed before. If so, I couldn't find it and I do apologize. If not, I am hoping for some good input.

Thanks a lot!
