SAP ABAP Proxy Doubt - CPI

[MichaelJohn88]

Dear All,

We have a number of proxies developed using SAP PI ESR in our ERP system. We are calling same proxies using the XI adapter of CPI as there has been no requirements of modifying the proxies. We now want to discontinue the PI/PO and there will be no ESR. How do we mange the proxies that are existing in ERP without PI/PO. Please suggest the approach.

In the Migration Guide for SAP Process Orchestration, we do describe how to run ABAP Proxy scenarios on Cloud Integration and different migration options

If any of the migration options worked out for you, you may go for it, but honestly I would rather wait for SAP to ship the ABAP Proxy generation feature in SAP Integration Suite, see roadmap item

Hi Alex - Does this mean that although we moved all our interfaces including proxy ones right now, it would be a good idea to wait for this new feature in Q3/2025 to import all service interfaces from PI/PO? Shall we keep PI/PO until then? If we phase out now then how would this feature help us? We are concerned that we don't want to go into dangling state where no PI/PO is letting us to reimplemnet all proxies that are migrated already.

If you just run the proxy scenarios in Cloud Integration and keep your PO system I wouldn't see this as migration, better not migrate to MDR, and if possible keep your PO system until we ship the new feature, don't know yet the details but once available there must be an option to switch over

Thanks Alex. MDR is not that easy to use like ESR and the new solution can be helpful. This becomes a reason to keep PI until then. Please clarify one last point. Once this new feature is available then we will need to migrate all proxies from PI/PO to this new one right? There will be effort then or will it be stratightforward without any ABAP developer's help?

Hi ,

To manage the existing proxies in ERP without PI/PO, we will need to create custom proxy objects directly in SAP ABAP, as CPI does not support DT (Data Type) and MT (Message Type) steps.

For guidance on creating proxy interfaces, please refer to the following link, which provides a helpful tutorial: Creating Proxy Interfaces.: https://developers.sap.com/tutorials/aif-proxy-monitoring-interface-create..html

Azmath.
