xMII - Xi - ECC, Have you done it?

[Former Member]

Hi All,

I'm trying to call a BAPI in my ECC system from xMII. But, just for fun, I'm putting Xi in the middle. The BAPI is an existing BAPI in ECC, and I can export it to Xi. But I can't get the xMII (via JCO) to see it.

Does anyone have any suggestions on this?

Same question, different thread:

Hi, Paul.

You should definitely be able to invoke the BAPI from JCO...if you still have problems, contact the support team and they can sleuth it out for you.

I noticed that you were trying to call BAPI_PRODORDCONF_CREATE_TT (from your other post), and I was able to successfully load/map this into the JCO action in xMII without problem.

Paul is trying to call BAPI_PRODORDCONF_CREATE_TT <i>through XI</i>. His question is partly an XI question and partly an xMII question. For someone that knows next to nothing about XI, what is the <i>preferred</i> XI integration method if you wanted to invoke a BAPI on R/3 from xMII? Can't XI proxy an R/3 BAPI allowing you to use the xMII JCO action to call the BAPI now proxied on XI? Or is there a better/simpler way?

I guess the key question is, why would you want to do that? It seems an unnecessary layer for invoking an RFC (which is effectively all a BAPI is).

In case you have a masochistic desire to do it anyway I've usually used a web service or HTTP listener/port along with the "wrapper" configuration in XI, and use either the Web Service Action or the HTTP Post action. In the latter case, you'll also probably want to create/provide a reference document to "teach" xMII what the format of the XML message to be posted is.
