Trigger ABAP Inbound Proxy

[Former Member]

Hi,

I am into ABAP. I have never worked on PI. If i have a service interface and a class method for ABAP inbound Proxy already created by a PI guy, Can I trigger the call to the NON-SAP system to retrieve and process the data in my report program using this method or Do i have to code the logic in Class/Method created in PI. I have been able to trigger an outbound call from a function module, but when it comes to Inbound, I am still trying to understand. I searched some forums, but my understanding of PI is limited and i am still trying to understand. Could anyone please let me know the approach for triggering Inbound Proxy? Any suggestions are highly appreciated

Thanks

Hi,

The Non SAP system will send data to PI and PI will trigger inbound proxy in ECC. You will receive the data in inbound proxy interface. You need to code in class/method created by PI to process this data. (INPUT and OUTPUT structures)

You can also test the proxy in standalone way (the way you can test RFC) in transaction SPROXY.

Can I build a report program which would trigger the client proxy and and import the data into report program to be processed further? and schedule this report in background?

Hi,

If a report can be build for loading data into table..then what is the necessity of having inbound proxy..

just give a thought ....

Proxy is the native adapter build only for SAP PI System and Non SAP Systems cannot invoke proxy...

idea behind inbound proxy is to process the data received from other systems (SAP or NonSAP) via PI system...

Hope this clarifies all your queries..

Rajesh,

Thanks for the inputs.Let us consider, the creation of proxy and logic is completely implemented. So, in PI Inbound scenario,does it mean that , as and when the Non-SAP system sends the data to SAP, the data would be processed in SAP and something like Job scheduling is not required at all?

[Former Member]

Yes, Thats true. The interface will be triggered by external system and PI will call inbound proxy class to execute the processing logice implemented in class. There is no need to schedule a job.

Hi shrini,

Once you receive  data from PI as inbound proxy , you can do with data whatever you want .

Let me clear one thing that as soon as sender system (In context of PI ) will push data to PI, PI will call proxy class which is generated in ECC . and your logic will execute  .

There is no need to job scheduling an all to run that proxy class  because that will be call from PI .

thanks and regards,

Hi,

Report scheduling depends on your business requirement..

Normally Proxy gets triggered when the data is sent from the source system(can be SAP or NonSAP) via PI..and doesn't require any job to be scheduled..

after the commit of Proxy operation if you have any requirement for report generation using the data received then you may require to schedule else not required...
