Hi Experts,

We have an integration with SAP 4.6 and Ariba systems using PI 10S2 adapter.

But now SAP is descoping the 10S2 adapter,and to over come that they are asking to upgrade the sap 4.6 to ECC 6.0 or higher and use CI-7/8/9 adapters in PI for communication.

Version Upgrade cannot be done since it will highly impact the business of the customer.

So can we integrate SAP 4.6 and Ariba using the adapters CI-7/8/9 deployed from connect.ariba.com in to PI .

Kindly help us with any related documents and pros and cons of using CI-7/8/9 .

Regards

Prakash

It's been a while since I looked at this but If I remember right, the pre-built PI integration content for Ariba uses proxies for the communication with ECC, which can only be used as of Web AS 6.2 (that came with ERP 4.7 IIRC).

Prakash,

Firstly you cant import CI 7/8/9 transports into 4.6 system you will get a lots of dump as many of the Data Dictionary defined in CI 7/8/9 wont be supported in 4.6 . Try to get CI3 content for 4.6 but note in connect ariba we were able to find only CI3 Trnaports for ABAP there are no CI3 Transports available for PI as these are old Ariba has removed this from repository.

If you wont find CI3 content for PI , then import CI 7 / 8 / 9 TPZ file into PI and customize as per your requirement.
