Export master data - A beginners design question

Former Member — Wed, 28 Jan 2009 15:35:27 GMT

Hi,

Business Scenario and requirement

Master data export from ERP system to a legacy system. Integration engine is SAP XI/PI system.

Question

There are BAPI: s that can be used for this purpose. My question is as follows:

1. Should SAP XI make call to the standard BAPIs to extract the data?

2. Should we developed and schedule an ABAP module that calls the BAPI and exports the master data to a buffer table which in turn the SAP XI/PI can get the data from via a custom made RFC or BAPI?

What is the usual way of working in these cases?

Hi,

First you need to select data from SAP and sent SAP XI using program.

You can check the data using T code SPROXY, check this might be helpful.

custom made RFC is recommended because Std BAPI may select & send lot of unwanted data.

Remember; PI licence cost is on usage, i.e. based on MB of data transferred.
