Hi,

Need yor take on this. We might need to interface data from a third party into SAP HR infotypes. What is teh best practise in doing so? Can we import the text data directly from a FTP server? Thanks

Hi Praboo

The simple and easy method with good Mobility & tracking is through AL11.

Trasnfer the Third party data to AL11 (Application Server)

Then read them and have the data in your structures and do what ever you want when you have the data.

You can also use the below mentioned function module to trigger your interface program whenever there is a data insertion in the AL11 folder.

BP_EVENT_RAISE

So that your program will automatically trigger and do the rest of the thing.

you can do this by Interface using Proxy ie through SPROXY transaction .

But this requires XI ( PI ) help .

Hi,

Unfortunately, we are not using XI here. We have done a couple of outbound interface to the ftp server but never an inbound. Any other suggestion? Thanks
