ICO supports IS or not

[sahithi_moparthi]

Hi everyone,

          Could any one clarify on the below points:

1.    We are working on PI 7.3 and scenario is from ECC - XI- 3rd party.Already this is an  existing interface with minor chanegs we need to migrate to 7.3.Earlier they configured it in CS,now i'm aware how to configure in IC.

      But my query is:

        Earlier they had used the Integration Scenario's and i heard that while we are configuring on ICO ,there is no need of IS.Could you please clarify me whether ICO supports IS or not.

2.If ICO doesnot supports IS,could you please let me know the reason behind??

Thanks in Advance.

when you use ICO - you only use the Adapter Engine - not the integration engine.

for that reason - any scenarios that work with the ABAP stack (like proxy to the ABAP engine)

will not work with ICO.

however:

A) if you install the PI 7.3 dual stack (ABAP + JAVA) - you can move the scenario "as is" and don't have to use ICO.

B) there are options to move the scenarios to the adapter engine (for example there is an IDOC_AAE adapter - that don't use the abap stack, or for proxy - you can use a SOAP sender adapter and move the proxy path in SM59 to the adapter engine - with path prefix "/XISOAPAdapter/MessageServlet?ximessage=true")

So my advice is: step 1 - install PI 7.3 dual stack and move all the scenarios as is.

step 2 - see how to move each scenario to ICO.

Good luck!

Hi Rahamin,

       Thanks for your reoly.

  But my scenario is IDOC - SOAP.So i think it is possible to move to IC.even the clinet wants the Scenario on java stack.So if we use IDOC_AAE,then do we need to create the IS in ESR.

Have a look at this document by William for more about AAE, It will be added value for this discussion...

Migration guide to AEX

It will be helpful to understand the concept and also limitation of single stack java installation.

Hi,

if you have the IS existing for the earlier scenario.. you can reuse the same and can generate the ICO Objects you need to select the configuration for AAE option when doing this...

with out IS also the scenario can be implemented (both for Classic & AAE scenarios) you need to create the objects explicitly here..

Yes.

Please make sure you define everything properly.

IDOC_AAE needs some configurations in NWA before using.

Also - do look at Sunil Mavachee's link - as not all the functionality is enabled when using ICO

(though in all of my scenarios I use ICO's and for me there were no problem with any of them)
