Simple Question - Data Import

Former Member — Wed, 10 Sep 2008 15:15:09 GMT

Hi,

i have a simple question. Is it wise to change our actual import scenarios for input data from systems out of sap to XI?

Today we have the scenario that data from outer systems will send per ftp to a special directory. After that a report will transform the data into a batchinput. The btci will send per rfbibl into the system. Now we have a huge number of such reports. Will it now be better to change to XI, which we use perhaps for MDM?

Xi could take the file from ftp-srever maps the fields an will send per bapi to sap.

Is it a quite simple scenario or is batchinput still the better way.

Hi,

If you have a scenario where you have different file formats , which needs to be converted and then send to different systems based on some conditions , then suggested is XI usage.

However, also if you already have XI installed and running for the MDM system , then you can think of routing all messages through XI. It may make sense to use one system for all routing and data conversion puposes.

Hope this view helps.

Cheerio,
